Discover Tools

discover_tools
Read-onlyIdempotent

Find tools by describing the data or task. Use when you need to browse, search, look up, or discover what tools exist for: SEC filings, financials, revenue, profit, FDA drugs, adverse events, FRED economic data, Census demographics, BLS jobs/unemployment/inflation, ATTOM real estate, ClinicalTrials, USPTO patents, weather, news, crypto, stocks. Returns the top-N most relevant tools with names, descriptions, and full input schemas (with curated examples) — each result is ready to call directly, no second schema lookup needed. Call this FIRST when you have many tools available and want to see the option set (not just one answer).

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations declare readOnly, idempotent, not destructive. Description adds that results include full schemas with examples and are ready to call directly, no second lookup needed. Does not contradict 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?

Description is informative and front-loaded with purpose. Slightly long but all sentences add value. Not wasteful.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Covers purpose, usage context, return value (full schemas with examples), and default/max limit. No output schema, but description compensates by explaining what is returned.

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?

Schema coverage 100% with descriptions for each parameter (query, aliases, limit). Description mentions query and limit but adds little beyond schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate as schema does the heavy lifting.

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?

States specific verb 'Find' and resource 'tools'. Lists broad domain categories (SEC filings, financials, etc.) and distinguishes from siblings by being the only tool discovery tool among many specialized tools.

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?

Explicitly says 'Call this FIRST when you have many tools available and want to see the option set'. Provides context by listing many domains. Lacks explicit when-not-to-use but clearly positions its role.

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

B3.3/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Several tools occupy nearly the same role: ask_pipeworx and ask_pipeworx_beta are described as behaviorally identical, ask_pipeworx_grounded and deep_research both route questions across the same large catalog, and the Polymarket tools overlap heavily in intent. The ActiveCampaign list/get tools are distinct, but an agent facing 37 tools would frequently struggle to choose the right research or betting tool.

Naming Consistency2/5

Some clusters are internally consistent (list_*, ask_pipeworx_*, polymarket_*), but the server overall mixes bare verbs like remember and forget, noun phrases like entity_profile and deep_research, and brand-prefixed names like pipeworx_trending and polymarket_arbitrage. There is no unified naming convention across the tool set.

Tool Count2/5

37 tools is excessive for an ActiveCampaign integration, and only 6 of them actually relate to ActiveCampaign. The rest are a broad Pipeworx data, research, and prediction-market utility suite, so the count is not well-scoped to the server's stated purpose.

Completeness1/5

As an ActiveCampaign server, the surface is severely incomplete: it only provides read-only list/get operations and no create, update, delete, send, tag, or workflow-management tools. The unrelated Pipeworx tools may be feature-rich, but they do not fill the gaps in the named ActiveCampaign domain.
