Scored across 6 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose with no overlap: checking size qualification, retrieving firm details, getting size standards, accessing statistics, searching awards, and searching firms. The descriptions specify unique resources and actions, making misselection unlikely.
The naming is mostly consistent with a verb_noun pattern (e.g., check_size_standard, get_size_standards, search_sbir_awards), but there is a minor deviation with 'sbir_stats' which omits a verb prefix. Overall, the pattern is readable and predictable.
With 6 tools, the server is well-scoped for its SBA/SBIR domain. Each tool serves a specific, necessary function related to small business standards and federal R&D funding, with no redundant or trivial additions.
The tool set covers core SBA and SBIR operations well, including checking standards, retrieving data, and searching for firms and awards. A minor gap exists in update or management functions (e.g., modifying data), but these are likely outside the server's read-only scope, and agents can work effectively with the provided tools.
