Scored across 9 tools
Each tool serves a distinct purpose: account creation, balance, catalog, quotes, brief submission, checkout, engagement status, and results. No two tools overlap in functionality.
All tools start with 'forward_' and mostly follow a verb_noun pattern. However, 'forward_quote' and 'forward_get_quote' are slightly inconsistent (one uses direct verb, the other 'get_'), but they have different scopes (general quote vs. brief-based quote).
9 tools cover the full workflow of a pay-per-result service without being excessive. Each tool addresses a necessary step in the customer acquisition process.
The tool set covers signup, credits, catalog, quoting, brief submission, checkout, engagement status, and results. A minor gap is the lack of operations to cancel or update an engagement or brief, but core workflows are complete.
