Scored across 4 tools
Each tool has a clear primary purpose: general search, category browsing, specific details, and weekend filtering. Search and weekend/category tools overlap somewhat, but descriptions make the distinctions clear.
All names use lowercase snake_case, but the pattern is mixed: two are verb_noun (search_events, get_event_details) and two are noun phrases (events_by_category, weekend_events). Names are still descriptive and predictable.
Four tools is a well-scoped set for a local events finder, covering search, category browse, weekend selection, and detail retrieval without bloat.
The surface covers core event discovery flows: general search, category filtering, weekend-specific lookup, and detail view. A date-range filter is missing but not a critical gap for basic functionality.
