Ask Pipeworx

ask_pipeworx
Read-onlyIdempotent

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 5,767 tools across 1506 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". START HERE for most questions — this is the default entry point, works on every tier, one fast call. Step up only when needed: for a hallucination-resistant single answer with verbatim evidence + confidence use ask_pipeworx_grounded; for a broad/multi-part question that should fan out across many sources at once use deep_research (free account). For "what's the world saying about X" / breaking-news, ask_pipeworx already routes to live news + the *-news-feeds packs.

A3.9/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and non-destructive behavior. The description adds meaningful behavioral context beyond that: it routes to a large toolset, fills arguments automatically, and returns structured answers with pipeworx:// citation URIs. No contradiction with annotations exists.

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

Conciseness2/5

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

The opening is strong and front-loaded, but the description is overlong and contains a garbled, duplicated tail ('Step up only when needed: ... use get_forecast? no maybe not') that repeats alternatives already stated and adds confusion. The structure breaks down near the end, making it less concise than it should be.

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?

For a tool with no output schema, the description sufficiently explains return behavior (structured answer with stable citation URIs), provides six concrete examples, and gives routing alternatives. The only notable gap is the misleading tail about sports scores, which conflicts with 'sports' being listed as a valid domain earlier, but overall the definition is nearly complete.

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 description coverage is 100%, with the canonical 'question' parameter described as natural language and all five aliases explicitly noted. The description itself adds no further parameter semantics, but the schema already fully carries the burden, so the baseline of 3 applies.

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 that ask_pipeworx routes factual questions to one of 5,767 tools across 1,506 verified sources and returns structured answers with stable pipeworx:// citation URIs. It explicitly differentiates itself from web search and names sibling tools (ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research, get_air_quality, get_forecast), so an agent can understand exactly what this tool is for.

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?

The description gives explicit when-to-use triggers ('what is', 'look up', 'find', 'get the latest', 'how much', 'current') and directly names alternatives for other cases ('Use get_air_quality or get_forecast instead for a direct single-source point lookup'). However, the trailing garbled sentence about real-time sports scores ('use get_forecast? no maybe not') introduces contradictory routing guidance, preventing a perfect score.

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

A3.5/5.0
Disambiguation3/5

Many tools have overlapping purposes, especially multiple ask_pipeworx variants and numerous Polymarket tools. Detailed descriptions help, but an agent could still confuse similar tools like ask_pipeworx and ask_pipeworx_beta.

Naming Consistency2/5

Tool names use a mix of styles: some are descriptive (get_air_quality), some use proprietary prefixes (pipeworx_feedback), and others are arbitrary (bet_research). No consistent verb_noun pattern.

Tool Count1/5

33 tools is excessive for a server named 'airquality', which only has 2 air-quality-specific tools. The count is appropriate for a general data platform, but mismatched with the server name.

Completeness1/5

For the air quality domain, the tool set is severely incomplete, missing historical data, pollution sources, and health recommendations. The overall set covers many other domains, but fails to address the server's apparent focus.
