Scored across 4 tools
Disambiguation5/5
Each tool has a clear, distinct purpose: search_inventory finds vehicles, get_vehicle_details provides specifics on a single vehicle, schedule_test_drive books an appointment, and get_instant_offer handles selling a car. There is no overlap or ambiguity between them.
Naming Consistency5/5
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case: search_inventory, schedule_test_drive, get_instant_offer, get_vehicle_details. The naming is uniform and predictable.
Tool Count5/5
With four tools, the server is well-scoped for a car marketplace use case. Each tool covers a distinct step in the buyer or seller journey, and none feel redundant or unnecessary.
Completeness4/5
The tool set covers the core lifecycle: search inventory, view details, schedule test drive, and get an offer for selling. Missing features like financing or purchase tools are gaps, but they are outside the immediate scope and do not break common workflows.
