With only one tool, there is no possibility of confusion or overlap. The tool's purpose is unique.
The single tool uses a clear verb_noun pattern (search_journey), establishing a consistent naming convention by default.
One tool is too few for a journey planning domain, which typically requires multiple operations like station lookup or route details.
The tool surface is severely limited, covering only journey search and missing other essential TfL operations such as station information or service status updates.
