Most tools are clearly distinct: initialization, selection, dashboard, context, question bank (list/import), session review, history, and data retrieval each serve a unique purpose. The only minor ambiguity is between get_dashboard_data and get_training_context, and between open_dashboard and get_dashboard_data, which both touch dashboard-related concerns but differ in interaction style (UI open vs data fetch).
Tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern: initialize/list/import/save/get/set/open prefixes with clear object nouns. The pattern is largely predictable, though mixing first-word verbs (initialize, set, open, get, list, import, save) is fine—the objects (workspace, selection, dashboard, context, question_bank, session_review, history, data) are consistently snake_case nouns.
Nine tools is well-scoped for an IELTS speaking coach server. Each tool covers a distinct workflow step (init, configure, view options, retrieve context, browse/import questions, save review, view history, fetch dashboard), and none feel redundant or trivial.
The tool surface covers the full practice lifecycle: workspace setup, training selection/configuration, question bank management (list/import), session review saving, and history/dashboard retrieval. Minor gaps include no tool to update or delete the question bank (only import), and no tool to directly edit saved reviews, but the core workflow is complete and functional.
