Scored across 4 tools
Each tool targets a distinct resource and action: listing accounts, getting transactions, adding transactions, and retrieving budget balances. There is no overlap.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun snake_case pattern (e.g., list_accounts, get_transactions), making it easy to predict and remember.
With 4 tools, the set is well-scoped for a budgeting MCP server, covering the core operations without being too sparse or overwhelming.
The tools cover listing accounts, viewing transactions, adding transactions, and checking budget balances. However, update and delete operations for transactions are missing, which is a minor gap.
