Scored across 8 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose with no overlap: adding, deleting, updating, listing, summarizing, exporting expenses, and managing budgets. The descriptions specify unique actions (e.g., add vs. update) and resources (expenses vs. budget), eliminating ambiguity.
All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (e.g., add_expense, delete_expense, get_budget_status). The naming is uniform across all eight tools, using snake_case and clear action verbs aligned with their functions.
With 8 tools, the server is well-scoped for an expense tracker, covering core operations like CRUD for expenses, budget management, summarization, and export. Each tool earns its place without being excessive or sparse.
The tool set provides complete coverage for the expense tracking domain: full CRUD for expenses (add, delete, update, list), budget management (set and status), summarization, and export. There are no obvious gaps, enabling agents to handle typical workflows end-to-end.
