Scored across 3 tools
The three tools have clearly distinct purposes: one searches for events, one searches for venues, and one calculates routes between venues. There is no overlap in functionality, making it easy for an agent to select the right tool for each task.
All tool names follow a consistent snake_case pattern with the prefix 'edinburgh_festival_' followed by a descriptive noun phrase (events, venue_routes, venues). This uniformity makes the tool set predictable and easy to understand.
With only three tools, the server feels somewhat thin for a festivals domain that might benefit from additional operations like booking tickets, getting event details, or managing schedules. However, the tools cover core search and navigation needs, keeping it borderline but functional.
The tools provide good search capabilities for events and venues, plus route calculation, but there are notable gaps. For example, there is no tool to retrieve detailed information about a specific event or venue, update data, or handle user interactions like favorites or reviews, which limits comprehensive festival management.
