Discover Tools

discover_tools
Read-onlyIdempotent

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, and full input schemas (with curated examples) — each result is ready to call directly, no second schema lookup needed. Call this FIRST when you have many tools available and want to see the option set (not just one answer).

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true. Description adds context: results are 'ready to call directly, no second schema lookup needed'. No contradictions.

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?

Two sentences: first describes purpose and domains, second details return value and usage advice. Efficient, front-loaded, no wasted words.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Despite no output schema, description adequately describes return format (tool names, descriptions, schemas) and gives usage context. Input parameter behavior is fully covered. Slight gap: no mention of pagination or sorting of results.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%; parameters are well-described in schema. Description adds value by providing natural language examples and summarizing aliases, but does not significantly go beyond schema.

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 'Find tools by describing the data or task' and lists diverse domains, distinguishing it from sibling tools. It explains return value (top-N relevant tools with schemas) and how to use results.

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?

Explicit guidance: 'Call this FIRST when you have many tools available and want to see the option set (not just one answer).' Effectively tells when to use and implies alternatives.

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

A4.1/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have distinct purposes, but some overlap exists between ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research, and validate_claim, which could cause confusion. However, the descriptions help clarify when to use each.

Naming Consistency3/5

Tool names use a mix of patterns (verb_noun, noun_noun, adjective_noun) but are consistently lowercase with underscores. Some names are vague like 'forever' and 'recent_alerts', but overall readable.

Tool Count3/5

32 tools is on the high side for a single server, but many are specialized and serve a broad data query platform. Some tools are meta-tools covering multiple use cases, which could reduce the need for so many.

Completeness4/5

The tool set covers a wide range of functionalities including data querying, entity resolution, comparisons, verification, memory, subscriptions, and prediction markets. Minor gaps like data export are not critical for its purpose.
