Entity Profile

entity_profile
Read-onlyIdempotent

"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. 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.

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already mark the tool read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive, so the burden is lower, but the description still adds substantial behavioral detail: parallel fan-out across sources, soft-fail behavior for USPTO patents, GDELT→GNews fallback, expected empty fda_products for small-molecule companies, and the meaning of sources_used/sources_failed. This goes well beyond the structured 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?

The description is front-loaded with trigger phrases and the ALWAYS PREFER guidance, which is ideal for routing. It is long, but the length is justified given the nine data sources and numerous edge cases; a slight readability penalty exists because the return-format details are packed into one dense paragraph rather than structured bullet points.

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?

With no output schema present, the description must explain return contents, and it does so thoroughly: cik, company_name, recent_filings, fundamentals, patents, federal_contracts, fda_products, hiring, news, and LEI, plus failure semantics. It also covers input flexibility, name resolution, and the private-company behavior, making the tool safe to invoke without further guesswork.

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 the baseline is 3. The description adds value by clarifying that type accepts 'company' or 'ticker' interchangeably, that value can be a ticker, zero-padded CIK, or company name, and that names resolve via SEC EDGAR. This supplements the schema rather than repeating it.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool creates a 'full cross-source profile of a US public company' with specific trigger examples like 'research Acme' and 'company profile for Microsoft.' It distinguishes itself from 'chaining single-pack SEC/XBRL/news lookups,' though it does not explicitly name sibling tools such as resolve_entity or compare_entities to draw the boundary.

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 explicitly says 'ALWAYS PREFER over chaining single-pack SEC/XBRL/news lookups when the user asks for a holistic view,' giving both the condition and the alternative. It also tells the user what inputs are accepted and what happens for private companies, making the decision to invoke this tool well-specified.

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

Most tools fall into recognizable families (data lookup, entity research, prediction markets, memory, subscriptions), and the detailed descriptions help separate them. However, ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, and ask_pipeworx_grounded are near-identical variants, and several polymarket scanning tools overlap in purpose enough to cause misselection.

Naming Consistency4/5

Nearly all tool names are snake_case and readable, and families share clear prefixes like ask_pipeworx_*, polymarket_*, and pipeworx_*. The main inconsistency is that the Brazilian data endpoints use bare nouns (quote, crypto, currency, inflation, prime_rate) while most other tools use verb-like action names, so there is no single verb_noun pattern throughout.

Tool Count2/5

38 tools is well above the 25+ threshold for a heavy MCP surface, even though the server aggregates several distinct domains. Each tool may have a purpose, but the sheer count makes the set difficult to navigate and suggests the server is trying to be a platform rather than a focused toolset.

Completeness4/5

The server covers the full lifecycle for its core areas: lookup (ask_pipeworx, grounded, deep_research), entity workflows (resolve, profile, compare, recent_changes), memory (remember/recall/forget), and subscriptions (subscribe/list/unsubscribe/recent_alerts). Minor gaps exist, such as no subscription update/pause and no direct tool to fetch an arbitrary pipeworx:// citation, but agents can work around these.
