Search Within a Source

search_within
Read-onlyIdempotent

Semantic search INSIDE a fetched record. Pass the text you already pulled (e.g. a SEC 10-K body, an article, a long tool result) plus a natural-language query; get back the top-N passages with character offsets and similarity scores. Use when the record is too big to cram into the prompt — search_within saves context, returns only the passages that matter, and every passage carries an offset so the agent can verify a verbatim quote. Pairs with ask_pipeworx_grounded: fetch with the gateway, ground over the relevant passages instead of the whole document. BGE-base-en embeddings + cosine over 500-char overlapping windows; cap is 200K chars (longer inputs are truncated and flagged).

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
textYesThe document text to search inside (max ~200K chars).
limitNoMax passages to return (1-20, default 5).
queryYesNatural-language query — what passages do you want? E.g. "supply-chain risk", "fiscal year 2024 revenue", "drug interactions with warfarin".

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already provide readOnlyHint, idempotentHint. Description adds behavioral details: embedding model (BGE-base-en), window size (500-char overlapping), character cap (200K with truncation flag), return format (offsets, scores). Substantial added value.

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?

Well-structured, front-loaded with core action. Four sentences, each adds value. Could be slightly more concise but clear and efficient.

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?

Despite no output schema, description explains return format well (passages, offsets, scores) and covers limitations (200K cap, truncation). Pairs with sibling tool. Complete for its complexity.

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% with good descriptions. Description adds context about truncation for text parameter and provides examples for query. Slightly above baseline 3.

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 performs semantic search inside a fetched record, with specific use case (large text) and output (passages, offsets, scores). It distinguishes from sibling tools like ask_pipeworx_grounded.

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?

Explicitly tells when to use: when the record is too big for the prompt. Mentions pairing with ask_pipeworx_grounded, implying alternative. Clear context for usage.

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.
