Scored across 1 tool
Only one tool exists, so there is no possibility of confusion or misselection. The single tool's purpose is clear and distinct.
The tool name 'get_budget' follows a clear verb_noun snake_case convention. With only one tool, consistency is trivially maintained.
One tool is slightly under the typical 3-15 range, but it perfectly matches the narrow read-only scope of fetching a single usage endpoint. No additional tools are needed for the stated purpose.
The tool covers the core read operation for subscription usage limits, including session and weekly windows with detailed fields. However, it lacks any write or management operations for budgets or alerts, which the server name might imply.
