Search Within a Source

search_within
Read-onlyIdempotent

Semantic search INSIDE a fetched record. Pass the text you already pulled (e.g. a SEC 10-K body, an article, a long tool result) plus a natural-language query; get back the top-N passages with character offsets and similarity scores. Use when the record is too big to cram into the prompt — search_within saves context, returns only the passages that matter, and every passage carries an offset so the agent can verify a verbatim quote. Pairs with ask_pipeworx_grounded: fetch with the gateway, ground over the relevant passages instead of the whole document. BGE-base-en embeddings + cosine over 500-char overlapping windows; cap is 200K chars (longer inputs are truncated and flagged).

Input Schema

textYesThe document text to search inside (max ~200K chars).
limitNoMax passages to return (1-20, default 5).
queryYesNatural-language query — what passages do you want? E.g. "supply-chain risk", "fiscal year 2024 revenue", "drug interactions with warfarin".

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Discloses embedding model (BGE-base-en), chunking (500-char overlapping windows), metric (cosine), character cap (200K) with truncation and flagging, and output details (passages with offsets and similarity scores). This goes well beyond annotations.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Concise and well-structured: front-loaded with the core functionality, followed by usage guidance, technical details, and limitations. Every sentence contributes.

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?

Given the complexity (semantic search, chunking, offsets) and no output schema, the description thoroughly explains inputs, algorithm, behavior, return values, and integration with sibling tools. Fully adequate for correct agent invocation.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100% with good descriptions. The description adds value with example queries and clarifies the 'text' parameter as pre-fetched content, adding meaning beyond the schema.

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 clearly states the tool performs semantic search inside a fetched record, with specific examples (SEC 10-K, article) and distinguishes from sibling ask_pipeworx_grounded by explaining the pairing strategy.

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 states when to use (record too big for prompt) and mentions the paired tool ask_pipeworx_grounded. No explicit when-not-to-use, but the context is clear.

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

A3.6/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Many tools have overlapping purposes, such as multiple tools for querying Pipeworx data (ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research, validate_claim) and numerous tools for AI news/tools (get_ai_news, get_ai_toolbelt, get_briefing, get_model_landscape, etc.). This will cause an agent to frequently misselect the appropriate tool.

Naming Consistency4/5

Most tools follow a verb_noun pattern in snake_case (e.g., compare_entities, discover_tools, get_briefing). However, a few deviate like 'bet_research' (noun_verb) and 'what_happened' (phrase), but overall the pattern is largely consistent.

Tool Count2/5

38 tools is excessive for a server called 'Ai Briefing', which suggests a focused purpose. The tool count spans multiple domains (AI visibility, Pipeworx queries, Polymarket betting, memory, subscriptions) making it feel overstuffed and unfocused.

Completeness3/5

The tool set covers many aspects of its broad domain (querying, comparing, subscribing, memory), but there are notable gaps: no tool for modifying subscriptions, no user profile management, and the AI news tools overlap rather than cover distinct needs.
