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).

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true. The description adds useful context: returns top-N relevant tools with full input schemas and curated examples, 'ready to call directly, no second schema lookup needed.' This clarifies output format and usability beyond the 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 (about 4 sentences) and front-loaded: it starts with the core purpose, then lists use cases, what is returned, and when to call. Every sentence adds value with 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?

Given no output schema, the description adequately explains what is returned (names, descriptions, full input schemas with curated examples) and that results are ready to call. It does not detail the exact output structure, but the high-level description is sufficient for a discovery tool.

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 description coverage is 100%, but the description adds value by listing aliases (task, q, description, search) and providing concrete examples like 'look up FDA drug approvals'. It also mentions default limit (20) and max (50), which are not in the schema description. This enhances understanding of how to use parameters.

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's purpose: 'Find tools by describing the data or task.' It specifies the action (browse, search, look up, discover) and the resource (tools). It distinguishes from sibling search tools by noting this is for discovery and should be called first when many tools are available.

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 guidance: 'Use when you need to browse, search, look up, or discover what tools exist' and 'Call this FIRST when you have many tools available.' It implies this is for exploration rather than getting a single answer, though it does not explicitly list when not to use it.

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

B3.3/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Many tools have overlapping purposes, especially the Pipeworx utilities (ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research, etc.). The comic tools are distinct but the large number of similar generally-purpose tools creates confusion across the set.

Naming Consistency3/5

Comic tools follow a consistent noun pattern (character, characters, issue, issues) but Pipeworx tools mix verb_phrase (ask_pipeworx), noun_phrase (entity_profile), and composite names (scan_competitor_ai_presence). No single convention dominates.

Tool Count1/5

The server name 'Comicvine' suggests a focused comic book reference, yet 30 of 40 tools are unrelated Pipeworx services (company financials, prediction markets, subscriptions, etc.). This is a severe scope mismatch.

Completeness2/5

The comic-related tools cover characters, issues, volumes, publishers, and creators reasonably well, but the server's overall purpose is diluted by including many non-comic tools that don't form a coherent surface. The comic subset is complete, but the full set is not.
