I am of the opinion that NOBODY really knows what a tomato plants need, specifically.
This includes fertilizer manufacturing companies ( lik MG ) and many university extension services. Just go and check recommendations on Cornell and U of MO.
If you look at all the fertilizers targeting home gardeners, the most distinctive thing is that they all have about 3% Ca and about 2% Mg.
