| searchB | Search the corpus; returns verbatim sentence-level quotes with file, section and score |
| quoteA | Retrieve the exact, verbatim text of a section (page) of a corpus file |
| verifyA | Deterministically verify a claim against the corpus (no LLM). Returns GROUNDED with a verbatim supporting quote, CONTRADICTED with a verbatim counter-quote from an equal-or-higher authority source, or UNSUPPORTED when nothing is decisive. Only GROUNDED may be presented as fact. |

Scored across 4 tools
search (fuzzy retrieval returning ranked quotes), quote (exact section retrieval), and verify (claim adjudication) have distinguishable purposes, though search's returned quotes and quote's verbatim text create minor conceptual overlap. Boundaries are clarified by descriptions.
All names are lowercase snake_case and action-oriented, but list_sources is a verb_noun compound while search, quote, and verify are bare verbs, a minor deviation. The convention is still predictable and readable.
Four tools is a tight, well-scoped set for a read-only corpus retrieval and verification server, with each tool earning its place. It sits at the thin end of the ideal 3-15 range but is not under-scoped for the purpose.
The surface covers discovery (list_sources), retrieval (search, quote), and adjudication (verify), which is complete for a read-only corpus server. Minor gaps exist, such as no way to enumerate sections/pages within a document or filter search by authority tier.
