Tool Definition Quality
Average 3.9/5 across 19 of 19 tools scored. Lowest: 2.9/5.
Tools are clearly separated into Bluesky social and Pipeworx data domains. Within each group, each tool has a distinct purpose with no overlap (e.g., ask_pipeworx vs. compare_entities, get_follows vs. get_posts). Memory tools are also distinct.
Naming patterns are mixed: Bluesky tools use consistent verb_noun (get_feed, get_followers), but Pipeworx tools vary (verb_noun like compare_entities, noun-only like entity_profile, verb-only like forget). Some use 'pipeworx' prefix. No single pattern dominates.
19 tools cover two distinct domains (Bluesky social and Pipeworx data) without being excessive. Each tool serves a specific need, and the count feels appropriate for the scope.
The tool set covers core Bluesky interactions (profile, posts, followers, search) and Pipeworx data capabilities (query, comparison, discovery, validation, feedback). Memory tools add persistence. No obvious gaps for the stated purpose.
Available Tools
19 toolsask_pipeworxARead-onlyInspect
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 1,423+ tools across 392+ 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".
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| question | Yes | Your question or request in natural language |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It effectively describes key traits: it's a query tool that interprets natural language, selects data sources automatically, and returns results. However, it doesn't mention potential limitations like rate limits, authentication needs, or error handling, leaving some behavioral aspects unspecified.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is front-loaded with the core functionality, followed by practical guidance and examples. Every sentence earns its place: the first explains the purpose, the second describes the mechanism, the third provides usage guidance, and the examples illustrate application. No wasted words, and the structure flows logically from general to specific.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (natural language processing to select data sources) and lack of annotations or output schema, the description is reasonably complete. It covers the purpose, usage, and behavioral approach, though it could benefit from mentioning response formats or error cases. The examples help contextualize, but some operational details remain implicit.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, with the single parameter 'question' well-documented in the schema as 'Your question or request in natural language.' The description adds minimal value beyond this, only reinforcing that questions should be in 'plain English' without providing additional syntax or format details. Baseline 3 is appropriate when the schema does the heavy lifting.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Ask a question in plain English and get an answer from the best available data source.' It specifies the verb ('ask'), resource ('answer'), and mechanism ('Pipeworx picks the right tool, fills the arguments'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like search_posts or get_profile that require specific parameters and schemas.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly states when to use this tool: 'No need to browse tools or learn schemas — just describe what you need.' It provides clear alternatives by implication (use other tools when you know specific schemas) and includes examples like 'What is the US trade deficit with China?' to illustrate appropriate use cases.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
compare_entitiesARead-onlyInspect
Compare 2–5 companies (or drugs) side by side in one call. Use when a user says "compare X and Y", "X vs Y", "how do X, Y, Z stack up", "which is bigger", or wants tables/rankings of revenue / net income / cash / debt across companies — or adverse events / approvals / trials across drugs. type="company": pulls revenue, net income, cash, long-term debt from SEC EDGAR/XBRL for tickers like AAPL, MSFT, GOOGL. type="drug": pulls adverse-event report counts (FAERS), FDA approval counts, active trial counts. Returns paired data + pipeworx:// citation URIs. Replaces 8–15 sequential agent calls.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| type | Yes | Entity type: "company" or "drug". | |
| values | Yes | For company: 2–5 tickers/CIKs (e.g., ["AAPL","MSFT"]). For drug: 2–5 names (e.g., ["ozempic","mounjaro"]). |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It discloses data sources (SEC EDGAR/XBRL, FAERS) and output type (paired data + URIs) but does not state read-only nature or potential errors.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Six sentences with clear structure: purpose, usage triggers, per-type details, return format, and efficiency claim. No unnecessary words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, description provides adequate return info (paired data + citation URIs) and covers both entity types. Could elaborate on failure modes but sufficient for typical use.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema already has 100% parameter description coverage. Description adds value by mapping 'type' to specific data fields (revenue, trials, etc.) and giving examples for 'values'.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states verb 'compare', resource 'companies or drugs', and scope 'side by side in one call'. Distinguishes from siblings by noting it replaces 8–15 sequential calls.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly lists natural language triggers ('compare X and Y', 'X vs Y', etc.) and types of data sought. Lacks explicit when-not-to-use but the patterns are clear.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
discover_toolsARead-onlyInspect
Find tools by describing the data or task. Use when you need to browse, search, look up, or discover what tools exist for: SEC filings, financials, revenue, profit, FDA drugs, adverse events, FRED economic data, Census demographics, BLS jobs/unemployment/inflation, ATTOM real estate, ClinicalTrials, USPTO patents, weather, news, crypto, stocks. Returns the top-N most relevant tools with names + descriptions. Call this FIRST when you have many tools available and want to see the option set (not just one answer).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Maximum number of tools to return (default 20, max 50) | |
| query | Yes | Natural language description of what you want to do (e.g., "analyze housing market trends", "look up FDA drug approvals", "find trade data between countries") |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses that the tool returns 'the most relevant tools with names and descriptions' and has a search function, but lacks details on behavioral traits like rate limits, authentication needs, error handling, or pagination. The description adds some context but doesn't fully compensate for the absence of annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is appropriately sized and front-loaded: the first sentence states the core function, and the second provides crucial usage guidance. Every sentence earns its place with no wasted words, making it efficient and easy to parse.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's moderate complexity (search function with 2 parameters) and no output schema, the description is mostly complete. It explains the purpose, usage context, and return format ('tools with names and descriptions'), but could benefit from mentioning output structure details or limitations. However, it adequately covers the essentials for a search tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents both parameters thoroughly. The description mentions 'by describing what you need' which aligns with the 'query' parameter, but adds no additional semantic context beyond what the schema provides. This meets the baseline for high schema coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose with specific verbs ('Search the Pipeworx tool catalog') and resources ('by describing what you need'), distinguishing it from sibling tools which focus on social media operations (get_feed, get_followers, etc.). It explicitly identifies the target resource as the tool catalog, making its function unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides explicit usage guidelines: 'Call this FIRST when you have 500+ tools available and need to find the right ones for your task.' This gives clear when-to-use criteria (large tool catalog, initial discovery) and distinguishes it from alternatives by positioning it as a preliminary search tool rather than a direct data retrieval tool like the siblings.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
entity_profileARead-onlyInspect
Get everything about a company in one call. Use when a user asks "tell me about X", "give me a profile of Acme", "what do you know about Apple", "research Microsoft", "brief me on Tesla", or you'd otherwise need to call 10+ pack tools across SEC EDGAR, SEC XBRL, USPTO, news, and GLEIF. Returns recent SEC filings, latest revenue/net income/cash position fundamentals, USPTO patents matched by assignee, recent news mentions, and the LEI (legal entity identifier) — all with pipeworx:// citation URIs. Pass a ticker like "AAPL" or zero-padded CIK like "0000320193".
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| type | Yes | Entity type. Only "company" supported today; person/place coming soon. | |
| value | Yes | Ticker (e.g., "AAPL") or zero-padded CIK (e.g., "0000320193"). Names not supported — use resolve_entity first if you only have a name. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It discloses that the tool integrates multiple sources (SEC EDGAR, USPTO, GLEIF) and returns citations. It implies read-only behavior without explicit side-effect mentions, which is acceptable.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Five sentences with clear front-loading of purpose. Every sentence adds value: use cases, returned data, parameter guidance. No redundant or wasted wording.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema and no annotations, the description covers data returned (list of source types), citation format, and parameter constraints. Could mention response structure or pagination, but adequate for a data-rich tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, baseline 3. Description adds meaning by clarifying that names are not supported and advising to use resolve_entity first. It also contextualizes the CIK format (zero-padded) beyond schema examples.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Get everything about a company in one call' and lists specific data returned (SEC filings, financials, patents, news, LEI). It distinguishes from siblings by noting it replaces calling 10+ pack tools across multiple sources.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly says when to use (queries like 'tell me about X') and gives alternatives (use resolve_entity for names). The type field also clarifies only 'company' supported, with upcoming support for person/place.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
forgetCDestructiveInspect
Delete a previously stored memory by key. Use when context is stale, the task is done, or you want to clear sensitive data the agent saved earlier. Pair with remember and recall.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| key | Yes | Memory key to delete |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It states this is a deletion operation, implying mutation/destructive behavior, but doesn't clarify permissions needed, whether deletion is permanent/reversible, error handling (e.g., if key doesn't exist), or side effects. The description adds minimal context beyond the basic action.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, efficient sentence with zero wasted words. It's front-loaded with the core action ('Delete') and resource ('stored memory'), making it immediately scannable and appropriately sized for a simple tool.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a destructive tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is inadequate. It doesn't address critical context like what 'delete' entails (permanent removal?), authentication requirements, error responses, or return values. Given the mutation nature and lack of structured coverage, more behavioral detail is needed.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, with the single parameter 'key' documented as 'Memory key to delete'. The description adds no additional meaning beyond this—it doesn't explain key format, constraints, or examples. Baseline 3 is appropriate since the schema already fully describes the parameter.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Delete') and resource ('stored memory by key'), making the purpose immediately understandable. It doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'recall' or 'remember', but the verb 'delete' strongly implies destructive removal versus retrieval or storage operations.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention prerequisites (e.g., needing an existing memory key), exclusions, or relationships to sibling tools like 'recall' (which likely retrieves memories) or 'remember' (which likely stores them).
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_feedBRead-onlyInspect
Get posts from a Bluesky feed (e.g., "discover", "what's-hot"). Returns recent posts with authors, timestamps, and engagement counts.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Number of posts (1-100, default 20) | |
| feed_uri | No | AT URI of the feed generator (default: whats-hot) |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| posts | Yes | Posts from the feed |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It adds minimal context: the '[Public]' tag hints at accessibility, and the default feed is specified. However, it lacks details on critical behaviors such as rate limits, authentication needs, error handling, or the structure of returned posts, which are essential for a tool that retrieves data.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is brief and front-loaded, efficiently conveying the core purpose and default behavior in a single sentence. However, it could be slightly more structured by separating the public tag from the functional description, but overall, it avoids unnecessary verbosity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the lack of annotations and output schema, the description is incomplete for a tool that retrieves feed data. It fails to explain what the output looks like (e.g., post format, pagination), any dependencies, or error cases, leaving significant gaps in understanding how to effectively use the tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 100% description coverage, clearly documenting both parameters (limit and feed_uri) with defaults and constraints. The description adds no additional parameter semantics beyond what the schema provides, so it meets the baseline score of 3 for adequate but not enhanced coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Get posts') and resource ('from a Bluesky feed'), making the purpose understandable. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate this tool from sibling tools like 'get_posts' or 'search_posts', which appear to retrieve similar content, so it misses the highest score for sibling distinction.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage by mentioning the default feed ('discover/whats-hot'), suggesting this tool is for fetching feed posts rather than other types of content. However, it provides no explicit guidance on when to use this versus alternatives like 'get_posts' or 'search_posts', leaving the context somewhat vague.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_followersCRead-onlyInspect
Get a user's followers on Bluesky by handle. Returns follower profiles including handles, display names, bios, and follower counts.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Number of followers (1-100, default 50) | |
| handle | Yes | Bluesky handle |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| followers | Yes | List of follower profiles |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states the action ('Get a user's followers') without mentioning permissions, rate limits, pagination, or the format of returned data. The '[Public]' prefix hints at accessibility but is vague and insufficient for a tool with no annotation coverage.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise—a single, front-loaded sentence that states the core purpose without any wasted words. It efficiently communicates the essential action, making it easy for an agent to parse quickly.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the lack of annotations and output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain what the tool returns (e.g., list of followers, metadata), error conditions, or behavioral traits like rate limits. For a tool with two parameters and no structured output, more context is needed to guide effective use.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 100% description coverage, clearly documenting both parameters ('handle' and 'limit') with details like data types, constraints, and defaults. The description adds no additional parameter information beyond what the schema provides, so it meets the baseline score for high schema coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose with a specific verb ('Get') and resource ('a user's followers'), making it immediately understandable. However, it doesn't differentiate this from sibling tools like 'get_follows' or 'get_profile', which likely retrieve related but different user data, so it doesn't reach the highest score.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'get_follows' or 'get_profile'. It lacks any context about prerequisites, exclusions, or specific use cases, leaving the agent to infer usage from the tool name alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_followsCRead-onlyInspect
Get accounts a Bluesky user follows by handle. Returns followed profiles with handles, display names, bios, and descriptions.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Number of follows (1-100, default 50) | |
| handle | Yes | Bluesky handle |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| follows | Yes | List of followed profiles |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It adds minimal context: '[Public]' hints at accessibility but doesn't clarify rate limits, authentication needs, pagination, or response format. For a read operation with no annotation coverage, this leaves significant gaps in understanding how the tool behaves beyond its basic function.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise—a single, front-loaded sentence with no wasted words. Every element ('[Public]', 'Get accounts that a user follows') contributes directly to understanding the tool's purpose and scope, making it efficient and easy to parse.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the lack of annotations and output schema, the description is incomplete for effective tool use. It misses critical details like return format (e.g., list structure, fields included), error handling, and how it differs from sibling tools. While concise, it does not compensate for the absence of structured behavioral or output information, leaving the agent under-informed.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the input schema fully documents both parameters ('handle' and 'limit') with descriptions and constraints. The description does not add any meaning beyond what the schema provides, such as explaining parameter interactions or usage examples. This meets the baseline score when the schema handles parameter documentation effectively.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb ('Get') and resource ('accounts that a user follows'), making the purpose unambiguous. However, it does not explicitly differentiate this tool from its sibling 'get_followers', which retrieves the inverse relationship. The '[Public]' prefix adds context about access but doesn't fully distinguish functionality from similar tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'get_followers' (for followers instead of follows) or 'get_profile' (which might include follow data). The description implies usage for retrieving follow relationships but offers no explicit when/when-not instructions or prerequisites, leaving the agent to infer context from tool names alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_postsCRead-onlyInspect
Fetch recent posts from a Bluesky user's timeline. Returns post text, timestamps, likes, reposts, reply counts, and threaded replies.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Number of posts (1-100, default 20) | |
| handle | Yes | Bluesky handle |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It indicates this is a read operation ('Get') and public access ('[Public]'), but lacks details on rate limits, authentication needs, pagination, error handling, or what 'recent' means (e.g., time frame). This is inadequate for a tool with potential API constraints.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, efficient sentence with zero waste. It is front-loaded with key information ('[Public] Get recent posts') and appropriately sized for its purpose, making it easy for an agent to parse quickly.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no annotations and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It fails to explain behavioral traits like rate limits or authentication, and doesn't describe return values (e.g., post format, pagination). For a tool fetching user data with siblings, more context is needed to guide effective use.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the input schema fully documents both parameters ('handle' and 'limit'). The description adds no additional parameter semantics beyond implying the 'handle' is for a Bluesky user, which is already clear from the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate as the schema does the heavy lifting.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Get recent posts') and target resource ('from a Bluesky user's feed'), with the '[Public]' prefix indicating access scope. However, it doesn't differentiate this tool from sibling tools like 'get_feed' or 'search_posts', which likely serve similar purposes but with different filtering or scope.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as 'get_feed' or 'search_posts'. It mentions a specific context ('Bluesky user's feed') but lacks explicit when/when-not instructions or prerequisites, leaving the agent to infer usage based on tool names alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_profileARead-onlyInspect
Look up a Bluesky user's profile by handle (e.g., "alice.bsky.social"). Returns display name, bio, follower/following counts, avatar, and verification status.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| handle | Yes | Bluesky handle (e.g., alice.bsky.social) |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| did | Yes | Decentralized identifier for the user |
| posts | Yes | Number of posts by user |
| handle | Yes | Bluesky handle |
| followers | Yes | Number of followers |
| following | Yes | Number of accounts user follows |
| description | Yes | User's bio/description |
| displayName | Yes | User's display name |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden. It discloses the public access nature ('[Public]') and specifies the input format (handle with example), but doesn't describe behavioral traits like rate limits, error conditions, authentication needs, or what data the profile contains. It adds some context but leaves significant gaps.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, efficient sentence that front-loads key information (public access, action, resource, constraint) with zero wasted words. Every element earns its place, making it highly scannable.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple read operation with 1 parameter and no output schema, the description is adequate but incomplete. It doesn't explain what a 'profile' contains or the response format, which would help the agent understand the tool's output. Given the lack of annotations and output schema, more context would be beneficial.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already fully documents the single 'handle' parameter with its type and example. The description adds no additional parameter semantics beyond what's in the schema, meeting the baseline for high coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the specific action ('Get'), resource ('Bluesky user profile'), and key constraint ('by handle'), distinguishing it from siblings like get_feed or get_posts which target different resources. The inclusion of '[Public]' further clarifies access scope.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides clear context for when to use this tool (to retrieve a user profile by handle) but doesn't explicitly mention when not to use it or name alternatives like resolve_handle (which might convert handles to DIDs). The context is sufficient but lacks explicit exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_threadCRead-onlyInspect
Fetch a post thread by URI. Returns the parent post and all replies in conversation order with timestamps, authors, and engagement data.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| post_uri | Yes | AT URI of the post (at://did/app.bsky.feed.post/rkey) |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| post | Yes | The parent post |
| replies | Yes | Reply posts in conversation order |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states the tool is '[Public]', implying accessibility, but doesn't explain what this means operationally (e.g., authentication requirements, rate limits, or data sensitivity). It mentions retrieving a 'post thread' but doesn't describe the return format, error handling, or any side effects. For a tool with no annotations, this leaves significant gaps.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise—a single sentence that directly states the tool's purpose. It is front-loaded with the key information ('[Public] Get a post thread by AT URI') and contains no unnecessary words or redundancy. Every part of the sentence serves a clear purpose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity (a retrieval tool with no annotations and no output schema), the description is incomplete. It lacks details on what a 'post thread' entails, the return format, error conditions, or usage context relative to siblings. The '[Public]' hint is vague without further explanation. For a tool that likely returns structured data, more guidance is needed to be fully helpful.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 100% description coverage, with the single parameter 'post_uri' fully documented in the schema. The description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema provides (e.g., it doesn't clarify thread-specific aspects of the URI or provide examples). With high schema coverage, the baseline score of 3 is appropriate as the description doesn't compensate but also doesn't detract.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Get') and the resource ('a post thread by AT URI'), making the purpose understandable. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate this from sibling tools like 'get_posts' or 'get_feed', which appear to retrieve similar content. The description is specific but lacks sibling distinction.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'get_posts' or 'search_posts'. It mentions retrieving a 'post thread' but doesn't clarify what constitutes a thread or when this is preferred over other retrieval methods. No exclusions or prerequisites are stated.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
pipeworx_feedbackAInspect
Tell the Pipeworx team something is broken, missing, or needs to exist. Use when a tool returns wrong/stale data (bug), when a tool you wish existed isn't in the catalog (feature/data_gap), or when something worked surprisingly well (praise). Describe the issue in terms of Pipeworx tools/packs — don't paste the end-user's prompt. The team reads digests daily and signal directly affects roadmap. Rate-limited to 5 per identifier per day. Free; doesn't count against your tool-call quota.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| type | Yes | bug = something broke or returned wrong data. feature = a new tool or capability you wish existed. data_gap = data Pipeworx does not currently expose. praise = positive note. other = anything else. | |
| context | No | Optional structured context: which tool, pack, or vertical this relates to. | |
| message | Yes | Your feedback in plain text. Be specific (which tool, what error, what data was missing). 1-2 sentences typical, 2000 chars max. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Discloses that feedback is free, does not count against quota, is rate-limited, and is read daily by the team to influence roadmap. Lacks explicit mention of side effects, but they are minimal for a feedback tool; without annotations, the description carries the burden and does well.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single paragraph with clear front-loading of purpose. Every sentence adds value: what it does, when to use, how to format, constraints, and impact.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Fully covers the tool's purpose, usage, parameters, and limitations. No output schema exists, but the description explains the outcome (team sees feedback). Appropriate for the tool's simplicity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema already provides 100% coverage with descriptions for all parameters. The description adds context (e.g., 'be specific', character limit) that reinforces proper use, going beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states the tool is for providing feedback to the Pipeworx team about bugs, features, data gaps, or praise. Distinguishes itself from sibling tools, none of which are feedback-related.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly explains when to use each feedback type (bug for wrong data, feature for missing tool, etc.), provides formatting rules (describe in terms of tools/packs, no pasted prompts), and notes rate limits (5/day) and free usage.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
recallARead-onlyInspect
Retrieve a value previously saved via remember, or list all saved keys (omit the key argument). Use to look up context the agent stored earlier — the user's target ticker, an address, prior research notes — without re-deriving it from scratch. Scoped to your identifier (anonymous IP, BYO key hash, or account ID). Pair with remember to save, forget to delete.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| key | No | Memory key to retrieve (omit to list all keys) |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It explains the dual functionality (retrieve by key vs. list all) and persistence across sessions, which is valuable. However, it doesn't mention error handling (e.g., what happens if key doesn't exist), performance characteristics, or format of returned data, leaving some behavioral aspects unclear.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is perfectly concise with two sentences that each serve distinct purposes: the first explains the dual functionality, and the second provides usage context. There's zero wasted language, and key information is front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool with 1 parameter, 100% schema coverage, and no output schema, the description provides good contextual completeness. It explains the tool's purpose, usage scenarios, and parameter semantics effectively. The main gap is the lack of output format details, but given the tool's relative simplicity, this is a minor omission.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has 100% description coverage, so the baseline is 3. The description adds meaningful context by explaining the semantic effect of omitting the key parameter ('omit to list all keys'), which clarifies the tool's dual behavior beyond what the schema's technical description provides.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose with specific verbs ('retrieve', 'list') and resources ('previously stored memory', 'all stored memories'). It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'remember' (which stores) and 'forget' (which deletes) by focusing on retrieval operations.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides explicit guidance on when to use the tool: 'to retrieve context you saved earlier in the session or in previous sessions.' It also specifies when to omit the key parameter ('omit key to list all keys'), giving clear operational instructions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
recent_changesARead-onlyInspect
What's new with a company in the last N days/months? Use when a user asks "what's happening with X?", "any updates on Y?", "what changed recently at Acme?", "brief me on what happened with Microsoft this quarter", "news on Apple this month", or you're monitoring for changes. Fans out to SEC EDGAR (recent filings), GDELT (news mentions in window), and USPTO (patents granted) in parallel. since accepts ISO date ("2026-04-01") or relative shorthand ("7d", "30d", "3m", "1y"). Returns structured changes + total_changes count + pipeworx:// citation URIs.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| type | Yes | Entity type. Only "company" supported today. | |
| since | Yes | Window start — ISO date ("2026-04-01") or relative ("7d", "30d", "3m", "1y"). Use "30d" or "1m" for typical monitoring. | |
| value | Yes | Ticker (e.g., "AAPL") or zero-padded CIK (e.g., "0000320193"). |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full weight. It discloses that the tool fans out to three external sources (SEC EDGAR, GDELT, USPTO) in parallel, describes the return format (structured changes, total_changes count, pipeworx:// citation URIs), and explains the 'since' parameter format. It does not cover potential edge cases (e.g., invalid ticker, no results), but the provided information is sufficient for safe invocation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise paragraph that front-loads the purpose. Every sentence adds value: purpose, example queries, parallel fan-out, parameter explanation, and return format. No wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool has no output schema, so the description appropriately explains the return format (structured changes, count, citation URIs). It also covers the complex multi-source fan-out behavior. Given the tool's complexity, the description provides complete context for an agent to understand what the tool does and what to expect.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, baseline is 3, but the description adds significant meaning: for 'since' it explains both ISO date and relative shorthand with examples; for 'type' it notes only 'company' is supported; for 'value' it gives examples of ticker or CIK. This goes well beyond the schema's descriptions, earning a high score.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'What's new with a company in the last N days/months?' and provides specific example user queries. It identifies the verb (get updates) and resource (company changes), and distinguishes itself from sibling tools which focus on social platform actions (posts, follows, profiles) rather than aggregated company news.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly lists usage scenarios with concrete natural language examples ('what's happening with X?', 'any updates on Y?', etc.). It provides context on when to use the tool but does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternative tools. However, the examples are clear enough for an agent to select it appropriately.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
rememberAInspect
Save data the agent will need to reuse later — across this conversation or across sessions. Use when you discover something worth carrying forward (a resolved ticker, a target address, a user preference, a research subject) so you don't have to look it up again. Stored as a key-value pair scoped by your identifier. Authenticated users get persistent memory; anonymous sessions retain memory for 24 hours. Pair with recall to retrieve later, forget to delete.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| key | Yes | Memory key (e.g., "subject_property", "target_ticker", "user_preference") | |
| value | Yes | Value to store (any text — findings, addresses, preferences, notes) |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden and does well by disclosing key behavioral traits: it explains persistence differences (authenticated users get persistent memory vs. anonymous sessions lasting 24 hours) and the cross-tool context capability. However, it doesn't mention potential limitations like storage size constraints or rate limits.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is perfectly concise with two focused sentences that each earn their place: the first states the core functionality, the second adds important behavioral context about persistence. No wasted words, and it's front-loaded with the primary purpose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a 2-parameter tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description provides good context about what the tool does and its persistence behavior. However, it doesn't explain what happens on success/failure or return values, which would be helpful given the lack of output schema.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 100% schema description coverage, the schema already fully documents both parameters. The description doesn't add meaningful parameter semantics beyond what's in the schema (which provides examples and clear descriptions), so it meets the baseline but doesn't enhance understanding of the parameters.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose with specific verb ('Store') and resource ('key-value pair in your session memory'), and distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'recall' (which presumably retrieves stored data). It explicitly mentions what gets stored and where.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides clear context for when to use this tool ('to save intermediate findings, user preferences, or context across tool calls'), but doesn't explicitly state when not to use it or name alternatives among siblings (though 'recall' is implied as complementary). It gives practical examples but lacks explicit exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
resolve_entityARead-onlyInspect
Look up the canonical/official identifier for a company or drug. Use when a user mentions a name and you need the CIK (for SEC), ticker (for stock data), RxCUI (for FDA), or LEI — the ID systems that other tools require as input. Examples: "Apple" → AAPL / CIK 0000320193, "Ozempic" → RxCUI 1991306 + ingredient + brand. Returns IDs plus pipeworx:// citation URIs. Use this BEFORE calling other tools that need official identifiers. Replaces 2–3 lookup calls.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| type | Yes | Entity type: "company" or "drug". | |
| value | Yes | For company: ticker (AAPL), CIK (0000320193), or name. For drug: brand or generic name (e.g., "ozempic", "metformin"). |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Without annotations, the description carries the full burden. It states that the tool returns IDs plus pipeworx:// citation URIs and gives examples of output. However, it does not mention potential errors, rate limits, or authentication requirements, which would strengthen transparency. Overall, it is transparent enough for a lookup tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences long, front-loads the purpose and use case, and contains zero unnecessary words. Every sentence adds essential information about the tool's function and context.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity (lookup without output schema), the description sufficiently covers purpose, usage, input parameters, and return values (IDs + URIs). It also provides enough examples to fully guide an agent.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
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 'type' enum values and providing detailed examples for 'value' (e.g., ticker, CIK, name for companies; brand/generic names for drugs). This goes beyond the schema's basic descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states that the tool looks up canonical identifiers for companies or drugs, listing specific ID systems (CIK, ticker, RxCUI, LEI). It provides concrete examples and distinguishes itself from sibling tools like resolve_handle by emphasizing its role as a prerequisite for tools requiring official identifiers.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly tells when to use the tool ('Use when a user mentions a name and you need the CIK...') and gives guidance to use it before calling other tools that need identifiers. It also notes that it replaces 2–3 lookup calls, providing clear context for when this tool is appropriate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states the tool is '[Public]', hinting at accessibility, but lacks details on rate limits, error conditions, response format, or whether it's read-only or has side effects. This leaves significant gaps in understanding its behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise—a single sentence that front-loads the key information ('[Public]' and the core function). There is no wasted language, making it efficient and easy to parse.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the lack of annotations and output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain what a DID is, the return format, potential errors, or usage constraints. For a tool with no structured behavioral data, this leaves the agent under-informed about how to effectively use it.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 100% description coverage, with the 'handle' parameter well-documented. The description adds no additional parameter semantics beyond what the schema provides, such as handle format examples or validation rules, so it meets the baseline for high schema coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the specific action ('Resolve') and target resource ('Bluesky handle to a DID'), distinguishing it from sibling tools that fetch feeds, followers, posts, profiles, or search content. It precisely defines the tool's function without redundancy.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. While it implies usage for handle resolution, it doesn't specify contexts like user lookup or authentication, nor does it mention any sibling tools as alternatives for related tasks.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
search_postsARead-onlyInspect
Search Bluesky posts by keyword or phrase. Returns matching posts with author handles, timestamps, engagement metrics, and content.Requires bsky_handle and bsky_app_password in the gateway URL query params.

| query | Yes | Search query |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It effectively adds context by specifying authentication requirements ('[Auth required]' and details about bsky_handle and bsky_app_password) and implies it's a read operation (searching), though it doesn't mention rate limits, error handling, or response format. This provides useful behavioral information beyond basic purpose.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is appropriately sized and front-loaded, with two sentences that efficiently convey key information: authentication requirements and the tool's purpose. Every sentence earns its place by providing essential details without unnecessary elaboration or redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's moderate complexity (search operation with authentication), no annotations, and no output schema, the description is somewhat complete but has gaps. It covers authentication and purpose well but lacks details on response format, error cases, or behavioral constraints like rate limits, which would be helpful for an AI agent to use it correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents both parameters ('limit' and 'query') fully. The description does not add any additional meaning or details about the parameters beyond what the schema provides, such as search syntax or examples. This meets the baseline for high schema coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the specific action ('Search Bluesky posts by keyword') and identifies the resource ('Bluesky posts'), making the purpose explicit. It distinguishes this tool from siblings like 'get_posts' or 'get_feed' by specifying it's for keyword-based searching rather than retrieval by other criteria.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides clear context for when to use this tool ('Search Bluesky posts by keyword') and mentions authentication requirements, but it does not explicitly state when not to use it or name specific alternatives among the sibling tools. This gives good guidance but lacks explicit exclusions or comparisons.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
validate_claimARead-onlyInspect
Fact-check, verify, validate, or confirm/refute a natural-language factual claim or statement against authoritative sources. Use when an agent needs to check whether something a user said is true ("Is it true that…?", "Was X really…?", "Verify the claim that…", "Validate this statement…"). v1 supports company-financial claims (revenue, net income, cash position for public US companies) via SEC EDGAR + XBRL. Returns a verdict (confirmed / approximately_correct / refuted / inconclusive / unsupported), extracted structured form, actual value with pipeworx:// citation, and percent delta. Replaces 4–6 sequential calls (NL parsing → entity resolution → data lookup → numeric comparison).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| claim | Yes | Natural-language factual claim, e.g., "Apple's FY2024 revenue was $400 billion" or "Microsoft made about $100B in profit last year". |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description fully discloses the tool's behavior. It states it returns a verdict, extracted form, actual value, citation, and delta. It also reveals the scope limitation to company-financial claims via SEC EDGAR. This transparently informs the agent of what the tool does and its constraints.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is dense yet concise, packing purpose, usage, domain, return format, and efficiency gains into a few sentences. It is front-loaded with the core action, making it efficient for agent parsing.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's moderate complexity (one parameter, no output schema), the description provides comprehensive context: it explains what the tool replaces, its domain, return components, and what it does not support (v1 scope). This is sufficient for an agent to invoke it correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The sole parameter 'claim' has 100% schema coverage. The description adds value by providing concrete examples of acceptable claims and clarifying the domain (company-financial). This context helps ensure correct input beyond the schema's generic description.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly identifies the tool's purpose: fact-checking natural-language claims. It uses specific verbs like 'verify' and 'validate' and explicitly mentions the resource (authoritative sources). It also implicitly distinguishes from siblings by its unique function; no sibling tool performs claim verification.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides clear usage context: 'Use when an agent needs to check whether something a user said is true' and gives example queries. It also notes that it replaces multiple sequential calls, hinting at efficiency. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or list alternative tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

The connector status is unhealthy when Glama is unable to successfully connect to the server. This can happen for several reasons:
The server is experiencing an outage
The URL of the server is wrong
Credentials required to access the server are missing or invalid
If you are the owner of this MCP connector and would like to make modifications to the listing, including providing test credentials for accessing the server, please contact support@glama.ai.
