Example districts: "Dallas ISD", "Plano ISD", "Highland Park ISD". Authoritative sources: Texas Education Agency (2022-2023 ratings) and AskTED directory.

Scored across 4 tools
Each tool serves a clearly distinct purpose: server info, weather alerts, school ratings, and city service requests. There is no overlap in functionality.
Three tools use a consistent 'dallas_' prefix with underscores, but the 'about' tool breaks this pattern. The naming is otherwise uniform.
With 4 tools, the server is well-scoped for its domain. Each tool provides substantial value without being excessive.
Covers core local information (weather, schools, city services) but lacks tools for other common local queries like crime, traffic, or property data.
