Scored across 6 tools
Each tool has a distinct purpose: about for metadata, get_climate for weather, get_course for details, get_nearby for POIs, get_tees for tee sets, and search_courses for searching. No overlap or ambiguity.
Most tools follow a consistent 'get_' prefix for data retrieval (get_climate, get_course, get_nearby, get_tees), along with search_courses and about. While about deviates, it is a common convention for info commands, so only minor inconsistency.
Six tools is well-scoped for a golf course data API. Each tool covers a key aspect (search, course info, tee sets, climate, POIs, metadata) without being overwhelming or insufficient.
The set covers the main data retrieval operations for golf courses: search, details, tees, climate, and nearby points. Minor gaps like course reviews or booking are absent, but the core domain is well-served.
