Entity Profile

entity_profile
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.

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/openWorld/idempotent/non-destructive, and the description adds valuable behavior: it fans out across many sources, soft-fails on the USPTO sunset, reports sources_used/sources_failed, treats empty sections as real no-data states, and handles private companies with resolved:false. This goes well beyond the 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 long, but the tool is complex and has no output schema, so the detail is largely necessary. It is front-loaded with trigger phrases and the ALWAYS PREFER guidance, though a more structured layout would improve scannability.

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?

For a complex tool with no output schema, the description covers all major return sections, source behavior, failure modes, input resolution, and expected empty cases. An agent receives enough context to invoke it correctly and interpret results.

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% and each parameter is described in the schema. The description adds meaning by clarifying that type can be 'company' or 'ticker' interchangeably, that value accepts ticker/CIK/name, that names resolve via EDGAR, and by giving concrete examples like 'AAPL' and 'Moderna'.

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 states a specific action: building a full cross-source profile of a US public company in one parallel call, and gives concrete trigger phrases. It also differentiates the tool from piecemeal SEC/XBRL/news lookups, so an agent can recognize when this tool is the target.

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 says ALWAYS PREFER this over chaining single-pack SEC/XBRL/news lookups when the user asks for a holistic view. It does not name sibling tools such as resolve_entity or compare_entities as alternatives for narrower needs, but the preference and trigger-condition guidance is clear.

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

A4/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have distinct purposes; however, 'ask_pipeworx' and 'ask_pipeworx_grounded' are very similar, and 'polymarket_edges' vs 'polymarket_edge_tracker' could cause confusion. The real estate tools (altos_active_listings, altos_new_listings, altos_pending_sales) are clearly differentiated by status.

Naming Consistency4/5

Tool names use snake_case and are descriptive, but prefixes vary (altos_, polymarket_, ask_pipeworx, etc.) and patterns like 'entity_profile' or 'generate_llms_txt' don't follow strict verb_noun. Overall, naming is fairly consistent and readable.

Tool Count3/5

36 tools is high but justifiable given the broad scope (real estate, prediction markets, SEC/FDA data, etc.). Some utility tools (list_subscriptions, pipeworx_feedback) could be integrated, but the count is borderline heavy for a single server.

Completeness4/5

The server covers multiple domains thoroughly with tools for real estate, company profiles, prediction markets, and general data queries. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no dedicated tool for FDA drug details beyond ask_pipeworx), but meta-tools like deep_research fill many needs.
