AI Visibility Check

ai_visibility_check
Read-onlyIdempotent

Probe one or more LLMs for what they know about a business / brand / product / topic and score visibility (0-100) per model. Default model is Workers AI Llama-3.3-70b (free); pass _apiKey to also probe Anthropic (BYO key — you pay Anthropic directly for those calls). Returns per-model {score, confidence, signals, raw_response} + a combined view. Useful for AI-marketing audits, pre-launch brand checks, competitive monitoring.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
entityYesThe thing to ask about. Brand/business name, product name, person, or topic. E.g. "Pipeworx", "OpenInvoice", "Acme Corp pricing".
modelsNoWhich models to probe. Supported: "workers-ai" (free default), "anthropic" (requires _apiKey). Omit for just workers-ai.
_apiKeyNoOptional Anthropic API key (sk-ant-...) — only needed if "anthropic" is in models. Passed straight through to api.anthropic.com.
contextNoOptional: a phrase locating the entity (e.g. "Boston restaurant", "B2B SaaS"). Helps disambiguate common names.

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint=false, so the description's main behavioral disclosure is the default model (Workers AI Llama-3.3-70b free) and the ability to probe Anthropic with a BYO key. It also notes the return format (per-model and combined view). This adds meaningful context 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?

The description is concise (3 sentences) and front-loaded: first sentence defines the core action, second sentence adds key configuration details, third sentence describes the return format and use cases. Every sentence serves a purpose with no wasted words.

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 4 parameters (all documented in schema), no output schema, and annotations covering safety, the description is complete: it explains the return format (per-model score, confidence, etc.), the default model, API key handling, and typical use cases. No critical information is missing.

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%, so baseline is 3. The description adds value by explaining the default model for the 'models' parameter and clarifying that '_apiKey' is only needed for Anthropic and that the user pays Anthropic directly. This extra context improves usability beyond the schema descriptions.

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 probes LLMs for knowledge about an entity and scores visibility (0-100). It specifies the verb 'probe' and the resource 'LLMs for business/brand/product/topic visibility'. Although siblings include similar tools like 'scan_competitor_ai_presence', this description's detailed behavior (per-model scoring, default model, return format) effectively distinguishes it.

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 provides clear usage context: helpful for AI-marketing audits, pre-launch checks, competitive monitoring. It also explains when to use the _apiKey parameter to enable Anthropic. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use the tool or mention alternatives from the sibling list.

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
Disambiguation2/5

Several tools occupy nearly identical roles: ask_pipeworx and ask_pipeworx_beta are described as functionally identical right now, ask_pipeworx_grounded and deep_research are overlapping query modes, and ai_visibility_check / scan_competitor_ai_presence / discover_tools / suggest_questions all blur into discovery or visibility tasks. The two actual BioStudies tools are clear, but they are buried in a server dominated by Pipeworx meta-tools.

Naming Consistency3/5

All tool names use snake_case, and many follow a verb_noun shape such as search_studies, get_study, and discover_tools. However, the convention is inconsistent across the set: noun-first names like entity_profile and polymarket_edges, brand-prefixed names like pipeworx_feedback, and verb-first product names like ask_pipeworx all coexist, making the pattern harder to predict.

Tool Count2/5

33 tools is well into the too-many range, and the count is especially inappropriate for a server named Biostudies since only search_studies and get_study actually belong to that domain. The rest form a sprawling general-purpose data-research platform that appears to have been merged into one server without a clear scope.

Completeness3/5

For the BioStudies-specific surface, search_studies and get_study provide reasonable read-only coverage for the EBI archive. But as the broader research platform the other 31 tools imply, the set is hard to evaluate for completeness because most actual data access is delegated to Pipeworx's hidden 5,718 tools rather than exposed directly, leaving notable gaps in transparency and direct source-level control.
