Scored across 7 tools
Each tool targets a distinct domain (bus arrivals, carpark availability, MRT crowding, traffic incidents, train alerts, travel times) with no functional overlap, making it easy for an agent to select the right tool.
All tool names follow a consistent snake_case pattern with descriptive noun combinations (e.g., bus_arrival, carpark_availability), ensuring predictability and clarity.
With 7 tools, the server covers key real-time transport data domains (bus, carpark, MRT, traffic, train, expressway) without being too sparse or overwhelming.
The tool set provides broad coverage of real-time transport data, though it lacks tools for route planning or fare information, which are secondary to the real-time focus.
