Scored across 5 tools
The four Apify infrastructure tools target clearly different resources: run control, run status, dataset rows, and key-value records. The research-brief-agent tool is domain-specific, though it partially overlaps conceptually with get-actor-run/get-dataset-items because it also runs an Actor and retrieves output.
Most tools follow a readable kebab-case verb-resource pattern such as abort-actor-run, get-actor-run, get-dataset-items, and get-key-value-store-record. However, industrial_platform--research-brief-agent uses snake_case with a double hyphen and is named after an external Actor rather than following the verb_noun convention.
Five tools is a well-scoped size for this server: one primary research-brief operation plus four supporting Actor-run and output-retrieval tools. There is no obvious bloat or excessive tool count.
The core research flow is covered: start/retrieve a brief, check run status, abort a run, and read dataset or key-value outputs. But the surface lacks important companion operations such as listing datasets, listing keys in a key-value store, or generic Actor run creation, which can create dead ends when identifiers are unknown.
Available Tools
5 toolsabort-actor-runAbort Actor runADestructiveIdempotentInspect
Abort an Actor run that is currently starting or running. For runs with status SUCCEEDED, FAILED, ABORTING, ABORTED, or TIMED-OUT, this call has no effect. The results will include the updated run details after the abort request.
USAGE:
Use when you need to stop a run that is taking too long or misconfigured.
USAGE EXAMPLES:
user_input: Abort run y2h7sK3Wc
user_input: Gracefully abort run y2h7sK3Wc
This tool requires an x402 payment. Include a valid x402 payment signature in the request metadata (_meta["x402/payment"]). Your MCP client must support the x402 payment protocol.
Inputs: runId (required), gracefully. Returns: object
get-actor-runGet Actor runARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Get detailed information about a specific Actor run.
Returns run result: status, storages (datasets/keyValueStores alias map), stats, summary, nextStep.
summary describes the past (e.g. "SUCCEEDED in 22s. 47 items; 3 fields available.").
nextStep prescribes one primary follow-up action with identifiers interpolated (e.g. "Use get-dataset-items with datasetId=...").
waitSecs (0–45, default 30) waits up to that many seconds for terminal status before returning.
USAGE:
Use to check the status of a run started by any Actor-running tool.
Pass waitSecs > 0 to block until terminal (or until the cap elapses).
USAGE EXAMPLES:
user_input: Show details of run y2h7sK3Wc
user_input: Wait for run y2h7sK3Wc to finish
This tool requires an x402 payment. Include a valid x402 payment signature in the request metadata (_meta["x402/payment"]). Your MCP client must support the x402 payment protocol.
Inputs: runId (required), waitSecs. Returns: object
get-dataset-itemsGet dataset itemsARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Get items (rows) from a dataset — the output/results produced by an Actor run. Returns the rows themselves, not dataset metadata, counts, or a schema. When the user provides a datasetId and asks to retrieve results, output, data, or rows, call this tool directly. Default limit is 20. Use clean=true to skip empty items and hidden fields.
USAGE:
Use when you need to read data from a dataset (all items or only selected fields).
USAGE EXAMPLES:
user_input: Retrieve results from dataset abc123
user_input: Get only metadata.url and title from dataset username~my-dataset
This tool requires an x402 payment. Include a valid x402 payment signature in the request metadata (_meta["x402/payment"]). Your MCP client must support the x402 payment protocol.
Inputs: datasetId (required), desc, omit, clean, +4 more. Returns: object
get-key-value-store-recordGet key-value store recordARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Get the value stored under a specific key in a key-value store — a single record, not a listing of all keys. Requires the exact key name. The response preserves the original Content-Encoding; most clients handle decompression automatically.
USAGE:
Use when you need to retrieve a specific record (JSON, text, or binary) from a store.
USAGE EXAMPLES:
user_input: Get record INPUT from store abc123
user_input: Get record data.json from store username~my-store
This tool requires an x402 payment. Include a valid x402 payment signature in the request metadata (_meta["x402/payment"]). Your MCP client must support the x402 payment protocol.
Inputs: recordKey (required), keyValueStoreId (required). Returns: object
industrial_platform--research-brief-agentindustrial_platform/research-brief-agentADestructiveInspect
This tool calls the Actor "industrial_platform/research-brief-agent" and retrieves its output results. Actor description: Use for current cited multi-source research, comparisons, and fact verification. Returns a synthesized brief with citations. $1.99 per completed brief; failed runs are not billed.
This tool requires an x402 payment. Include a valid x402 payment signature in the request metadata (_meta["x402/payment"]). Your MCP client must support the x402 payment protocol.
Inputs: research_question (required), context, waitSecs, requirements. Returns: object
