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).

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly and idempotent; the description adds that results include full schemas with examples and are ready to call. No contradictions or missing behavioral traits beyond standard read operations.

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 the core purpose, then lists domains and output details. Each sentence adds value; it is concise without being terse.

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?

Given no output schema, the description explains the return format (top-N relevant tools with names, descriptions, schemas, examples). It also provides usage timing guidance. Minor omission: what happens if no results, but acceptable.

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 description coverage is 100% (all parameters have descriptions). The tool description does not add significant meaning beyond what the schema already provides – it mentions aliases, but the schema also lists them. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 verb ('Find') and resource ('tools'), and distinguishes it from sibling tools by being the only discovery/browsing tool. It also lists example domains.

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?

Explicitly says 'Call this FIRST when you have many tools available and want to see the option set' – clear when to use. Does not explicitly state alternatives, but given the tool is unique, this is acceptable.

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 intentionally overlap: ask_pipeworx_beta is explicitly identical to ask_pipeworx, and ask_pipeworx/ask_pipeworx_grounded/deep_research plus discover_tools/suggest_questions sit close together. The long descriptions clarify differences, but an agent still has to choose between near-equivalent entry points.

Naming Consistency3/5

All names are readable snake_case, but there is no single consistent convention: verb-led names like list_tags and resolve_entity sit alongside noun-led names like random_cat, entity_profile, and polymarket_arbitrage. Domain prefixes like polymarket_ and pipeworx_ help, but the mixed grammar makes the surface less predictable.

Tool Count2/5

34 tools is far beyond what a cat-image server needs; only 3 tools relate to Cataas, while the rest form a sprawling Pipeworx data, prediction-market, memory, and subscription suite. The count is in the 'too many' range and most tools are outside the server's apparent stated domain.

Completeness3/5

The cat-image core covers random cats, tag-filtered cats, and tag listing, but omits other Cataas-style operations like fetching by cat ID or creating cat images with text/effects. The embedded Pipeworx side is broad, but it does not fill the gaps in the server's named cat API purpose.
