Tool Definition Quality
Average 3.8/5 across 17 of 17 tools scored. Lowest: 2/5.
Most tools have distinct purposes, but there is potential confusion between 'ask_pipeworx' and 'discover_tools' (both involve routing to data sources) and between 'entity_profile' and 'recent_changes' (both provide company overviews). However, the descriptions clearly differentiate them, making the boundaries mostly clear.
Naming patterns are mixed: some tools follow a clear verb_noun pattern (e.g., 'search', 'remember', 'validate_claim'), others are noun-only ('categories', 'history'), and a few use different structures ('ask_pipeworx', 'compare_entities'). While readable, the inconsistency reduces predictability.
With 17 tools, the count is slightly above the sweet spot of 3-15, but it is justified by the server's dual domain: job search (6 tools) and pipeworx data queries (11 tools). Each tool serves a specific purpose, so the count feels reasonable, though a few tools could potentially be merged.
The job search domain is well-covered (search, categories, history, regional stats, salary histogram, top companies), and the pipeworx side offers comprehensive data retrieval (entity profile, compare, recent changes, validate claim). Minor gaps exist, such as missing CRUD for saved searches or direct job application, but the core workflows are supported.
Available Tools
17 toolsask_pipeworxARead-onlyInspect
PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for questions about current or historical data: SEC filings, FDA drug data, FRED/BLS economic statistics, government records, USPTO patents, ATTOM real estate, weather, clinical trials, news, stocks, crypto, sports, academic papers, or anything requiring authoritative structured data with citations. Routes the question to the right one of 1,423+ tools across 392+ verified sources, fills arguments, returns the structured answer with stable pipeworx:// citation URIs. Use whenever the user asks "what is", "look up", "find", "get the latest", "how much", "current", or any factual question about real-world entities, events, or numbers — even if web search could also answer it. Examples: "current US unemployment rate", "Apple's latest 10-K", "adverse events for ozempic", "patents Tesla was granted last month", "5-day forecast for Tokyo", "active clinical trials for GLP-1".
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| question | Yes | Your question or request in natural language |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It describes routing and argument filling but does not disclose potential limitations, error handling, or internal mechanics. This is adequate but not detailed.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise, using about 7 sentences to convey purpose, usage, and examples. Every sentence adds value, and it is well-structured with no wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple single-parameter tool without output schema, the description covers purpose, usage, and examples comprehensively. No additional information is necessary for an AI agent to decide when and how to use it.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The sole parameter 'question' is described in the schema as 'Your question or request in natural language'. The description vastly enriches this with examples and types of queries, adding significant meaning beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description explicitly states the tool answers natural-language questions by automatically selecting the right data source, with clear examples and a list of domains. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools by indicating it's for when the user doesn't want to choose a specific tool.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description says 'Use when a user asks... and you don't want to figure out which Pipeworx pack/tool to call', providing strong usage guidance. It gives concrete examples but does not explicitly state when not to use it or name alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
categoriesCRead-onlyInspect
Adzuna's normalized job-category list for a country.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| country | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, and the description only indicates a non-destructive 'list' operation. It does not disclose output format, pagination, or any potential side effects.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single concise sentence that is front-loaded with the tool's purpose, containing no unnecessary words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple one-parameter list tool, the description provides minimal but functional context. However, lack of output schema and parameter details limits completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description only mentions 'for a country' without specifying expected format (e.g., ISO code) or constraints. This partially compensates but leaves ambiguity.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it provides a normalized job-category list for a country, which distinguishes it from sibling tools like search or salary_histogram. However, it could be more explicit by using a verb like 'retrieves' or 'returns'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like search or entities. The description does not specify prerequisites or context for invocation.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
compare_entitiesARead-onlyInspect
Compare 2–5 companies (or drugs) side by side in one call. Use when a user says "compare X and Y", "X vs Y", "how do X, Y, Z stack up", "which is bigger", or wants tables/rankings of revenue / net income / cash / debt across companies — or adverse events / approvals / trials across drugs. type="company": pulls revenue, net income, cash, long-term debt from SEC EDGAR/XBRL for tickers like AAPL, MSFT, GOOGL. type="drug": pulls adverse-event report counts (FAERS), FDA approval counts, active trial counts. Returns paired data + pipeworx:// citation URIs. Replaces 8–15 sequential agent calls.

|---|---|---|---|
| type | Yes | Entity type: "company" or "drug". | |
| values | Yes | For company: 2–5 tickers/CIKs (e.g., ["AAPL","MSFT"]). For drug: 2–5 names (e.g., ["ozempic","mounjaro"]). |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Though no annotations are provided, the description fully discloses behavior: data sources (SEC EDGAR/XBRL for companies, FAERS/FDA/clinicaltrials for drugs), return format (paired data + citation URIs), and scope (2-5 items). It replaces many calls, implying efficiency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Description is 5 sentences with no fluff. Front-loaded with purpose, followed by usage triggers, then type-specific details, and finally value proposition. Every sentence earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite no output schema or annotations, the description is highly complete. It explains what data is returned (paired data with URIs), sources, and limitations (2-5 items). Sufficient for the agent to select and use correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Input schema has 100% coverage. The description adds meaning beyond schema: clarifies expected input formats for 'values' (tickers/CIKs vs drug names), enforces constraints (2-5 items), and provides concrete examples.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it compares 2-5 companies or drugs, specifies data pulled for each type (revenue, adverse events, etc.), and distinguishes from other tools by mentioning it replaces multiple sequential calls.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly lists trigger phrases ('compare X and Y', 'X vs Y', 'how do X, Y, Z stack up', 'which is bigger') and when to use (tables/rankings of financial or drug data). Also contrasts with alternative approaches (8-15 sequential agent calls).
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
discover_toolsARead-onlyInspect
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. Call this FIRST when you have many tools available and want to see the option set (not just one answer).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Maximum number of tools to return (default 20, max 50) | |
| query | Yes | Natural language description of what you want to do (e.g., "analyze housing market trends", "look up FDA drug approvals", "find trade data between countries") |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided. Description mentions return value (top-N tools with names+descriptions) but does not disclose any behavioral traits like side effects, permissions, or rate limits. Score reflects minimal additional transparency beyond purpose.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single paragraph with front-loaded purpose. Adequately concise, though could be slightly more structured with bullet lists. No wasted sentences.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool with no output schema and no annotations, the description explains what it does and when to use it. It could detail the output format more, but is fairly complete given the simplicity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, and description does not add extra meaning to the parameters beyond what is in the schema. Baseline 3.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
States 'Find tools by describing the data or task.' Clearly describes verb+resource and lists many domains, distinguishing it from sibling tools that are specific actions.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly says 'Use when you need to browse...' and 'Call this FIRST when you have many tools available and want to see the option set.' Provides clear context for when to use.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
entity_profileARead-onlyInspect
Get everything about a company in one call. Use when a user asks "tell me about X", "give me a profile of Acme", "what do you know about Apple", "research Microsoft", "brief me on Tesla", or you'd otherwise need to call 10+ pack tools across SEC EDGAR, SEC XBRL, USPTO, news, and GLEIF. Returns recent SEC filings, latest revenue/net income/cash position fundamentals, USPTO patents matched by assignee, recent news mentions, and the LEI (legal entity identifier) — all with pipeworx:// citation URIs. Pass a ticker like "AAPL" or zero-padded CIK like "0000320193".
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| type | Yes | Entity type. Only "company" supported today; person/place coming soon. | |
| value | Yes | Ticker (e.g., "AAPL") or zero-padded CIK (e.g., "0000320193"). Names not supported — use resolve_entity first if you only have a name. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden. It discloses the tool returns recent SEC filings, financial fundamentals, patents, news, and LEI with citation URIs. It does not mention rate limits, errors, or performance, but for a read-only profile tool, the level of detail is sufficient and does not contradict any annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is compact (two sentences with a list) and front-loads the core purpose. Every sentence earns its place: use cases, data returned, input format, and edge-case handling. No redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, the description compensates by listing all return types (SEC filings, fundamentals, patents, news, LEI). Input constraints are fully covered. While it could mention limitations like data recency windows or potential delays, the description is sufficiently complete for an AI agent to understand the tool's capabilities.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% and the description adds significant meaning beyond type/enum definitions. For 'type', it explains that only 'company' is supported and hints at future support. For 'value', it provides concrete examples ('AAPL', '0000320193'), warns against unsupported names, and directs to resolve_entity as alternative. This is exemplary parameter guidance.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Get everything about a company in one call.' It provides concrete query examples ('tell me about X', 'research Microsoft') and explicitly differentiates from calling 10+ individual pack tools, distinguishing it from siblings like ask_pipeworx, compare_entities, and resolve_entity.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description gives explicit when-to-use scenarios with natural language examples. It also provides a clear when-not-to-use and an alternative: 'Names not supported — use resolve_entity first if you only have a name.' This is actionable and helps the agent choose the correct tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
forgetADestructiveInspect
Delete a previously stored memory by key. Use when context is stale, the task is done, or you want to clear sensitive data the agent saved earlier. Pair with remember and recall.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| key | Yes | Memory key to delete |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It states deletion but doesn't elaborate on irreversibility, permissions, or side effects beyond what is obvious.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Very concise; single sentence plus usage context front-loads the purpose. No wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description adequately covers purpose, usage, and relationships. Minor omission: no mention of return value or confirmation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with a single 'key' parameter well-described in schema. Description adds no additional parameter meaning.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb 'delete' and resource 'memory by key', clearly distinguishing it from siblings like 'remember' and 'recall'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly states when to use ('stale context, task done, clear sensitive data') and suggests pairing with related tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
historyCRead-onlyInspect
Historical job-volume / mean-salary monthly time series.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| months | No | 1-100 (default 12) | |
| country | Yes | ||
| category | No | Adzuna category tag (from `categories` tool) | |
| location | No |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations are empty, so the description must disclose behavior. It only states the output type but does not mention data freshness, error conditions, rate limits, or other traits. Minimal transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence. It is efficient but leaves out critical details. Not verbose, but not fully informative.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool with 4 parameters and no output schema, the description is too brief. It fails to explain the required 'country' parameter, the meaning of 'location', or the structure of the time series. Missing context leaves the agent underinformed.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 50% (months and category have descriptions). The tool description does not add any parameter-level information beyond the schema. Baseline of 3 is appropriate since coverage is not low, but no extra value.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly specifies what the tool returns: historical monthly time series of job volume and mean salary. It distinguishes from siblings like 'salary_histogram' (histogram) and 'regional_stats' (stats) by mentioning time series, but lacks an explicit verb like 'get' or 'retrieve'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'regional_stats' or 'salary_histogram'. No exclusions or context provided. The description is purely declarative.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
pipeworx_feedbackAInspect
Tell the Pipeworx team something is broken, missing, or needs to exist. Use when a tool returns wrong/stale data (bug), when a tool you wish existed isn't in the catalog (feature/data_gap), or when something worked surprisingly well (praise). Describe the issue in terms of Pipeworx tools/packs — don't paste the end-user's prompt. The team reads digests daily and signal directly affects roadmap. Rate-limited to 5 per identifier per day. Free; doesn't count against your tool-call quota.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| type | Yes | bug = something broke or returned wrong data. feature = a new tool or capability you wish existed. data_gap = data Pipeworx does not currently expose. praise = positive note. other = anything else. | |
| context | No | Optional structured context: which tool, pack, or vertical this relates to. | |
| message | Yes | Your feedback in plain text. Be specific (which tool, what error, what data was missing). 1-2 sentences typical, 2000 chars max. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
While no annotations are provided, the description discloses rate limits (5 per identifier per day), that it is free, and that it does not count against tool-call quota. However, it does not mention how the feedback is stored or if it is reviewed by humans.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences that are information-dense: they state purpose, usage scenarios, constraints, and impact. Front-loaded with primary action, then details. No wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's feedback purpose, the description covers all necessary aspects: what to report, how to format, what not to do, rate limits, and effect on roadmap. No output schema needed; completeness is appropriate.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds value by reinforcing the meaning of the 'type' enum and by providing guidance on writing the 'message' (be specific, 1-2 sentences, 2000 chars max). This goes beyond the schema's descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Tell the Pipeworx team something is broken, missing, or needs to exist.' It enumerates specific feedback types (bug, feature, data_gap, praise) which distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'ask_pipeworx' or 'discover_tools'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicit guidance on when to use the tool (e.g., 'Use when a tool returns wrong/stale data (bug)') and what to avoid ('don't paste the end-user's prompt'). Also mentions rate limits and quota policy.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
recallARead-onlyInspect
Retrieve a value previously saved via remember, or list all saved keys (omit the key argument). Use to look up context the agent stored earlier — the user's target ticker, an address, prior research notes — without re-deriving it from scratch. Scoped to your identifier (anonymous IP, BYO key hash, or account ID). Pair with remember to save, forget to delete.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| key | No | Memory key to retrieve (omit to list all keys) |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description effectively covers behavioral aspects: retrieval vs listing, scoping to identifier, and pairing with remember/forget. It does not mention return format details but is sufficient for a read operation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Three concise sentences front-load the core function, then provide use case and scoping detail. Every sentence adds value without wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description fully covers the tool's behavior for a simple recall operation, including the optional key behavior, scoping, and relation to sibling tools. No output schema exists, but the description adequately explains what to expect.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema already provides full description for the single parameter (coverage 100%), and the description adds 'omit to list all keys', which is redundant with the schema. No new semantic value is added beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool retrieves a saved value or lists all keys, with 'Retrieve a value previously saved via remember, or list all saved keys'. It distinguishes from siblings remember and forget by explicitly pairing with them.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explains when to use it: 'look up context the agent stored earlier... without re-deriving it from scratch'. It does not explicitly state when not to use it or offer alternatives, but the context is clear enough.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
recent_changesARead-onlyInspect
What's new with a company in the last N days/months? Use when a user asks "what's happening with X?", "any updates on Y?", "what changed recently at Acme?", "brief me on what happened with Microsoft this quarter", "news on Apple this month", or you're monitoring for changes. Fans out to SEC EDGAR (recent filings), GDELT (news mentions in window), and USPTO (patents granted) in parallel. since accepts ISO date ("2026-04-01") or relative shorthand ("7d", "30d", "3m", "1y"). Returns structured changes + total_changes count + pipeworx:// citation URIs.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| type | Yes | Entity type. Only "company" supported today. | |
| since | Yes | Window start — ISO date ("2026-04-01") or relative ("7d", "30d", "3m", "1y"). Use "30d" or "1m" for typical monitoring. | |
| value | Yes | Ticker (e.g., "AAPL") or zero-padded CIK (e.g., "0000320193"). |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Describes parallel fan-out to three sources and return structure, but lacks details on latency, error handling, or permissions. Adequate given no annotations.

Mentions return structure (changes, count, URIs) but does not detail edge cases like no results. Fairly complete for a 3-param retrieval tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Adds value beyond schema by explaining since format (ISO or relative) with example default, and value as ticker or CIK. All parameters are covered in the description with context.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose with examples ('what's happening with X?') and lists data sources, but does not explicitly differentiate from siblings like entity_profile or search.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Provides clear 'when to use' examples and typical monitoring windows, but does not state when not to use or mention alternative tools for specific details.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
regional_statsCRead-onlyInspect
Current job counts by region.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| country | Yes | ||
| category | No | ||
| location_filter | No |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so description carries full burden. It implies a read-only operation but does not confirm safety, disclose authentication needs, or describe response format. Minimal behavioral disclosure beyond 'current job counts'.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Extremely brief single sentence (5 words) is under-specified for a tool with 3 parameters and no schema descriptions. Not concise in a helpful way.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With 3 parameters, no schema descriptions, and no output schema, the description provides almost no context. Agents cannot determine what the tool returns, how to use filters, or what 'region' means.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0% and description does not mention any of the three parameters (country, category, location_filter). Agents have no clue what values to provide or how they affect results.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Current job counts by region' indicates the tool returns job counts aggregated by region, which is a specific resource. It differentiates from siblings like 'search' (returns list of jobs) and 'salary_histogram' (salary distribution). However, 'region' is ambiguous and does not specify that 'country' is required.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives like 'search' or 'categories'. Does not explain prerequisites (e.g., country must be specified) or that it is for summarizing stats.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
rememberAInspect
Save data the agent will need to reuse later — across this conversation or across sessions. Use when you discover something worth carrying forward (a resolved ticker, a target address, a user preference, a research subject) so you don't have to look it up again. Stored as a key-value pair scoped by your identifier. Authenticated users get persistent memory; anonymous sessions retain memory for 24 hours. Pair with recall to retrieve later, forget to delete.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| key | Yes | Memory key (e.g., "subject_property", "target_ticker", "user_preference") | |
| value | Yes | Value to store (any text — findings, addresses, preferences, notes) |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It discloses storage as key-value pairs scoped by identifier, persistence rules (authenticated persistent, anonymous 24 hours). Lacks mention of overwriting behavior or capacity limits, but otherwise clear.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Four concise sentences, each with clear value: purpose, usage, storage details, sibling guidance. No unnecessary text, front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given simple tool and no output schema, description covers purpose, usage, storage, and sibling tools. Missing explicit overwrite behavior, but completeness is high for a save operation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions for both parameters. Description adds minimal new meaning beyond schema examples; baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool saves data for reuse, using specific verbs ('Save data') and resource ('memory'). It distinguishes from siblings like recall and forget by explicitly mentioning pairing.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly states when to use ('when you discover something worth carrying forward') and how to pair with recall and forget, providing clear alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
resolve_entityARead-onlyInspect
Look up the canonical/official identifier for a company or drug. Use when a user mentions a name and you need the CIK (for SEC), ticker (for stock data), RxCUI (for FDA), or LEI — the ID systems that other tools require as input. Examples: "Apple" → AAPL / CIK 0000320193, "Ozempic" → RxCUI 1991306 + ingredient + brand. Returns IDs plus pipeworx:// citation URIs. Use this BEFORE calling other tools that need official identifiers. Replaces 2–3 lookup calls.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| type | Yes | Entity type: "company" or "drug". | |
| value | Yes | For company: ticker (AAPL), CIK (0000320193), or name. For drug: brand or generic name (e.g., "ozempic", "metformin"). |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so description bears full burden. It explains the tool returns IDs and pipeworx:// citation URIs, which is useful. However, it does not explicitly state it is read-only or non-destructive, though implied. Still, disclosure is good for a lookup tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single paragraph but well-structured, front-loading the core purpose. Every sentence adds value. Could be slightly more structured with bullet points, but overall efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity (2 params, no output schema, no annotations), the description covers all necessary aspects: what it does, when to use, what it returns, and examples. No gaps identified for its complexity level.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, but description adds significant value by specifying allowed input formats per type (e.g., 'ticker (AAPL), CIK (0000320193), or name' for company). This clarifies usage beyond the enum and string descriptions in the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool resolves entity names to canonical identifiers (CIK, ticker, RxCUI, LEI) for companies or drugs, with examples. It distinguishes itself by noting it replaces 2-3 lookup calls and should be used before other identifier-dependent tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly states when to use: when a user mentions a name and needs an official identifier. Also provides when-not and alternative guidance: 'Use this BEFORE calling other tools that need official identifiers.' Includes concrete examples.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
salary_histogramCRead-onlyInspect
Wage distribution for jobs matching a query.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| what | No | ||
| where | No | ||
| country | Yes | ||
| location_filter | No | Adzuna location id (e.g. "London") |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations are empty, so description carries full burden. It only mentions 'wage distribution' without detailing behavior like read-only nature, output format, or constraints. Minimal disclosure.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence is concise but too brief for a tool with 4 parameters. Could be restructured to include parameter hints.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, no annotations, and 4 parameters, the description is extremely incomplete. Lacks details on return value, parameter usage, and any behavioral notes.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is only 25% (only location_filter described). Description does not explain any parameters, e.g., what 'what' or 'where' mean. Adds little value beyond schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description states it provides wage distribution for jobs matching a query, which is clear and specific. However, it does not distinguish itself from siblings like 'regional_stats' which might also provide wage data.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as 'search' or 'regional_stats'. No context on prerequisites or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
searchBRead-onlyInspect
Search jobs in a country. country is required (ISO-style: gb, us, ca, de, fr, ...).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|

| what_phrase | No | Exact-phrase variant of `what` | |
| max_days_old | No | Restrict to jobs posted in the last N days | |
| results_per_page | No | 1-50 (default 20) |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It implies a read-only search operation but does not explicitly state it. No destructive or auth behaviors are mentioned, which is acceptable for a search tool but could be more explicit.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise, consisting of two short sentences. The purpose is front-loaded, and every word is necessary. No redundant information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite the tool's complexity (13 parameters, no output schema, no annotations), the description provides minimal context. It lacks information on return format, pagination, sorting defaults, or when to use filters. The high number of unmentioned parameters makes the description incomplete for an AI agent.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is high (85%), so the baseline is 3. The description adds limited value by specifying the ISO format for 'country', but this information is already present in the schema. Other parameters are not elaborated beyond what the schema provides.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Search jobs in a country' with a required 'country' parameter, providing a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like 'categories' or 'salary_histogram' by focusing on general job search, though no explicit differentiation is given.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'regional_stats' or 'top_companies'. The description only states requirements ('country is required') without context on usage scenarios or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
top_companiesCRead-onlyInspect
Companies posting the most jobs matching the filter.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| what | No | ||
| where | No | ||
| country | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description should disclose behavioral traits. It only hints at a read operation ('companies posting...') but does not mention safety, permissions, or any side effects. The description is too minimal to provide transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, which is concise but lacks structure. It does not front-load key details or organize information effectively. The brevity sacrifices clarity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has 3 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is vastly incomplete. It fails to explain the output format, the meaning of 'most jobs', or any usage context, making it nearly unusable for an agent.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 3 parameters (what, where, country) with 0% coverage in the description. The description mentions 'matching the filter' without explaining what each parameter means or how it affects results. This leaves the agent without critical usage information.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description says 'Companies posting the most jobs matching the filter.' It identifies that the tool returns companies, but it is vague about what 'most jobs' means and what the filter refers to. It does not specify whether the output includes counts, rankings, or any other details.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus siblings like 'search' or 'entity_profile'. There is no mention of prerequisites, limitations, or alternative tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
validate_claimARead-onlyInspect
Fact-check, verify, validate, or confirm/refute a natural-language factual claim or statement against authoritative sources. Use when an agent needs to check whether something a user said is true ("Is it true that…?", "Was X really…?", "Verify the claim that…", "Validate this statement…"). v1 supports company-financial claims (revenue, net income, cash position for public US companies) via SEC EDGAR + XBRL. Returns a verdict (confirmed / approximately_correct / refuted / inconclusive / unsupported), extracted structured form, actual value with pipeworx:// citation, and percent delta. Replaces 4–6 sequential calls (NL parsing → entity resolution → data lookup → numeric comparison).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| claim | Yes | Natural-language factual claim, e.g., "Apple's FY2024 revenue was $400 billion" or "Microsoft made about $100B in profit last year". |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Without annotations, the description effectively communicates that the tool is a read-only fact-checking operation, returning a verdict, structured data, and citations. It discloses limitations (v1 supports company-financial claims only) and provides behavioral context. However, it does not mention rate limits or authentication requirements, but these are minimal omissions given the domain.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single coherent paragraph that front-loads the core purpose and follows with usage guidance, domain details, and output summary. Every sentence adds value, though it could be slightly more structured (e.g., bullet points for output). Nonetheless, it is efficient and well-organized.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simple input (one string parameter), the description fully covers the tool's capabilities: it explains the input format, supported domain, output structure (verdict types, citation, percent delta), and how it replaces multiple steps. No output schema exists, but the description compensates by detailing the return values completely.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema's description for the 'claim' parameter is already clear, but the tool description adds value by providing concrete examples of claim formats (e.g., 'Apple's FY2024 revenue was $400 billion') and clarifying the natural-language nature. This goes beyond the schema, with 100% coverage, so a score of 4 is warranted.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: to fact-check or validate natural-language factual claims against authoritative sources. It provides specific examples of usage scenarios and explicitly limits the domain to company-financial claims via SEC EDGAR, distinguishing it from sibling tools like search or compare_entities.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly states when to use the tool ('Use when an agent needs to check whether something a user said is true...') and what it supports (company-financial claims). It also notes that it replaces multiple sequential calls, providing clear context for when this tool is preferable over alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
