Compare Entities

compare_entities
Read-onlyIdempotent

"Compare X and Y" / "X vs Y" / "X versus Y" / "which is bigger / better / larger / more profitable" / "rank these companies" / "head to head" — side-by-side comparison of 2–5 companies or drugs in ONE parallel call. ALWAYS PREFER over sequential single-pack lookups when comparing entities. type="company" pulls LATEST 10-K revenue + net income + cash + long-term debt from SEC EDGAR/XBRL (off-calendar fiscal years handled correctly — AAPL Sep, NVDA Jan, etc.). type="drug" pulls FAERS adverse-event counts, FDA approval counts, active trial counts. Results sorted by primary metric so "largest" / "most" / "biggest" reads off the top of the response. Returns paired data + pipeworx:// citation URIs per entity. Replaces 8–15 sequential lookups.

TDQS

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Description adds context beyond annotations: explains data sources (SEC EDGAR/XBRL, FAERS), handling of off-calendar fiscal years, sorted results, and citation URIs. No contradiction with 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?

Dense but well-structured: examples first, then detailed behavior, then benefits. Slightly verbose but each sentence adds value.

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?

Covers all critical aspects: entity types, data sources, return format (paired data + citations), cardinality limits, and edge cases (fiscal year handling). No output schema, so return description suffices.

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 already has 100% coverage with descriptions for both parameters. Description enriches by specifying concrete metrics pulled per type (revenue, net income for company; adverse-event counts for drug) and clarifies value formats (tickers/CIKs vs drug names).

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?

Description clearly states tool does side-by-side comparison of 2–5 companies or drugs, listing specific financial metrics for companies and regulatory counts for drugs. It distinguishes from siblings like entity_profile (single entity) and search tools by emphasizing parallel comparison over sequential lookups.

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?

Explicitly says 'ALWAYS PREFER over sequential single-pack lookups' and provides query examples. It tells when to use (comparison phrases) and implicitly when not to (single entity lookups).

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

A3.8/5.0
Disambiguation3/5

While many tools have distinct purposes, there is overlap between ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_grounded, and deep_research, as well as multiple Polymarket and entity-related tools. Descriptions are detailed but could confuse agents on which tool to use for a specific query.

Naming Consistency3/5

Most tool names use snake_case and many start with verbs, but there is inconsistency with noun-starting names like entity_profile, layer_info, and pipeworx_feedback. No strong verb_noun or other consistent pattern across the set.

Tool Count3/5

With 33 tools, the count is relatively high but could be justified for a broad data platform. However, given the server name 'Arcgis Sanjose', the number seems excessive as most tools are unrelated to ArcGIS geospatial functions.

Completeness2/5

The tool set is severely incomplete for the implied ArcGIS San Jose domain, with only 3 tools (search_datasets, layer_info, query_layer) supporting that purpose. The rest are from the Pipeworx ecosystem, creating a mismatch between server name and actual functionality.
