Each tool serves a distinct purpose: API allowance, area schedule, nearby areas, national status, and area search. No overlap in functionality.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (check_allowance, get_area_schedule, get_areas_nearby, get_status, search_areas), using snake_case throughout.
Five tools is well-scoped for the EskomSePush API domain, covering the essential operations without feeling thin or overloaded.
The tool set covers all core functionality of the EskomSePush API: status, area lookup, schedule, nearby search, and API quota checking. No obvious gaps.
