Read-onlyIdempotent

"Tell me about X" / "research Acme" / "brief me on Tesla" / "what does Apple do" / "company profile for Microsoft" / "give me the rundown on NVDA" / "everything you know about $TICKER" — full cross-source profile of a US public company in ONE parallel call. ALWAYS PREFER over chaining single-pack SEC/XBRL/news lookups when the user asks for a holistic view. Fans out across SEC EDGAR, XBRL, USPTO patents, federal contracts (USAspending), FDA-licensed biologics (Purple Book), H-1B hiring (DOL LCA), news and GLEIF, and returns: cik + company_name (+ resolved_from/resolved_to when value was a name); recent_filings (up to 5 with pipeworx://edgar/company/{cik}/filings/{accession} URIs); fundamentals (LATEST 10-K Revenues + NetIncomeLoss + Cash, sorted period_end DESC); patents (USPTO PatentsView API sunset May 2025 — soft-fails until reactivated); federal_contracts (USAspending awards where the company is the recipient); fda_products (FDA-licensed biologics — vaccines, cell/gene therapies — from the Purple Book; a company with only small-molecule/generic drugs will show none here, that is expected, not a failure); hiring (H-1B sponsorship volume + salary range from DOL LCA filings); recent news mentions via GDELT→GNews fallback; LEI via GLEIF. sources_used / sources_failed say which of these actually returned data for THIS company — an empty section is a real "no data", not a bug. Pass a ticker ("AAPL"), zero-padded CIK ("0000320193"), OR a company name ("Moderna") — names now resolve via SEC EDGAR's company-name match; a private company (no CIK/ticker) returns resolved:false with an explicit notes line, not a bare failure. type accepts "company" or "ticker" interchangeably — both take the same value shapes above.

A4.4/5.0
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Despite readOnlyHint/openWorldHint/idempotentHint already covering the safety profile, the description adds substantial behavior: source fan-out, empty-section semantics ('a real no data, not a bug'), USPTO soft-fail, GDELT→GNews fallback, and resolved:false handling for private companies. No contradiction with annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is front-loaded with trigger phrases and the primary usage directive, and the long output specification is justified by the tool's complexity. It loses a point for redundancy: value shapes and type behavior are restated from the schema, and the dense semicolon list is harder to scan than structured bullets.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With no output schema, the description carries the full burden of explaining return fields and failure semantics, and it does so thoroughly: resolved status, recent filings URIs, fundamentals sort, sources_used/sources_failed, no-data expectations, and input resolution rules. Nothing needed to call or interpret the tool is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The schema already documents both parameters at 100% coverage, including the interchangeable type behavior and accepted value shapes. The description adds only minor extras such as examples and resolved_from/resolved_to context, so a baseline 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description opens with concrete user phrasings and states the deliverable: 'full cross-source profile of a US public company in ONE parallel call.' It clearly differentiates from single-purpose lookups and lists exactly what the fan-out covers, so an agent can match it to holistic company-profile requests.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

It explicitly tells the agent to 'ALWAYS PREFER' this tool over chaining single-pack SEC/XBRL/news lookups when a holistic view is requested, and explains the private-company fallback. It does not name specific sibling alternatives or state when not to use it, so it stops just short of full when/when-not guidance.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

A3.8/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Several tools have unclear or overlapping boundaries: ask_pipeworx and ask_pipeworx_beta are explicitly identical right now, while ask_pipeworx, deep_research, and validate_claim all handle factual lookup/research tasks. The five polymarket_* tools plus bet_research also overlap enough that an agent could easily pick the wrong entry point despite verbose descriptions.

Naming Consistency3/5

All names are snake_case and generally descriptive, but conventions are mixed: some are verb-first (ask_pipeworx, resolve_entity, validate_claim), some are noun-first (abn_lookup, entity_profile, polymarket_edges), and prefixes like pipeworx_ and polymarket_ are used inconsistently. It is readable but not a clean, predictable pattern.

Tool Count2/5

34 tools is far too many for a server named 'Abn Lookup' — most of the surface is a broad data-research platform with prediction-market analysis, memory, subscriptions, feedback, and web utilities. The count could fit a large platform, but under this server name and with several near-duplicate entry points, it feels bloated.

Completeness4/5

For a read-only lookup/research server, coverage is strong: ABR lookups, entity resolution, single-query research, grounded verification, deep research, company profiles, comparisons, change feeds, prediction-market analysis, memory, and subscriptions are all represented. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no ACN search-by-name, no order execution), but no core workflow dead-ends.
