Scored across 2 tools
The two tools have clearly distinct purposes: one queries real-time aircraft data from ADS-B Exchange, the other queries the FAA registration database. There is no overlap in functionality.
Both tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern ('query_aircraft', 'query_registration'), making them predictable and easy to understand.
With only two tools, the server is minimal but covers two primary aviation data sources. It feels slightly thin but is reasonable for a focused purpose.
The server covers real-time tracking and registration lookup, which are core aviation queries. Minor gaps exist (e.g., historical data, airport info), but the main workflows are supported.
