Entity Profile

"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. sources_skipped is the third state: a leg we deliberately did NOT run, each entry carrying a reason token and a plain-English detail (the Purple Book is skipped for a filer SEC classifies outside the life-science SIC bands, since it lists only 351(a)/(k) biologics licence holders). 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.

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

The annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, openWorldHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds substantial behavioral context beyond that: it lists all the data sources (SEC EDGAR, XBRL, USPTO, USAspending, Purple Book, DOL LCA, GLEIF), explains the return structure, and introduces the three-state source reporting (sources_used, sources_failed, sources_skipped) with explicit notes on expected empty results (e.g., FDA biologics for a small-molecule-only company) and soft-failures (USPTO PatentsView sunset). This directly answers what happens in each case, which is far beyond what annotations could convey.

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 appropriately so for a tool that fans out across eight data sources and must communicate edge cases. It is front-loaded with the core purpose and usage examples, then proceeds through return sections and source-status behavior in a logical order. Every sentence adds essential information—there is no filler. While it is not terse, the complexity justifies the length, and the structure (examples → purpose → source list → return details → input shapes) makes it scannable.

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 tool's complexity, the lack of an output schema, and the rich annotation set, the description is exhaustive. It covers all return sections (cik, recent_filings, fundamentals, patents, federal_contracts, fda_products, hiring, news, LEI), explains the semantics of sources_used/failed/skipped, and handles edge cases like private companies and expected empty sections. There is no missing information an agent would need to correctly invoke and interpret the result.

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 description coverage is 100%, and both parameters already have clear descriptions in the schema. The description adds value by clarifying that 'type' accepts 'company' or 'ticker' interchangeably and that 'value' can take any of three shapes (ticker, CIK, company name) regardless of 'type'. It also mentions name resolution via SEC EDGAR and the private-company edge case, which are not in the schema. This enriches the semantic understanding of the parameters without repeating the schema verbatim.

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 opens with a battery of concrete user-phrase examples ('Tell me about X', 'research Acme', 'brief me on Tesla') that immediately communicate the tool's purpose, then states it precisely: 'full cross-source profile of a US public company in ONE parallel call.' It explicitly contrasts with sibling tools by declaring 'ALWAYS PREFER over chaining single-pack SEC/XBRL/news lookups when the user asks for a holistic view,' which differentiates it from the many other lookup tools in the sibling list. The verb ('profile'), resource ('US public company'), and scope are all unambiguous.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description gives an explicit trigger condition ('when the user asks for a holistic view') and names the alternative ('chaining single-pack SEC/XBRL/news lookups') that should be avoided. It also spells out the three accepted input shapes (ticker, zero-padded CIK, or company name) and explains the edge case for private companies (resolved:false with a notes line, not a bare failure). This is complete guidance for when and how to use the tool versus alternatives.

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