Deep Research

deep_research
Read-onlyIdempotent

ACCOUNT REQUIRED (free — sign in via GitHub at https://pipeworx.io/signup; depth:"thorough" needs a paid plan). If you are not signed in, use ask_pipeworx instead — it works on every tier. Grounded multi-source research across Pipeworx's 1499 STRUCTURED data sources (SEC filings, FRED/BLS economics, FDA, USPTO patents, markets, science, government records, etc.) in ONE call — this is NOT open-web search. Decomposes your question into focused facets, routes each to the right one of 5,738 tools IN PARALLEL, and returns a findings packet: verbatim evidence + confidence + source + fetched_at + a stable pipeworx:// citation per finding, with explicit gaps[] for facets the data couldn't answer (never invented). Best for broad/multi-part questions over structured data ("compare X and Y's regulatory + financial exposure", "research the filings + market picture for ACME"). For a single lookup use ask_pipeworx (one LLM call, not many). For BREAKING or colloquial CURRENT-NEWS / "what's the world saying about X" topics, prefer ask_pipeworx — it routes to live news APIs and the *-news-feeds packs; deep_research returns mostly empty gaps[] when the topic isn't in the structured catalog. Second-hop iteration: depth:"standard" re-angles unanswered gaps (gap recovery); depth:"thorough" additionally chases the best leads from the first pass — so multi-step questions resolve in one call. Every finding carries a hop field and a citation_uri — a resolvable pipeworx:// record URI, present only when the source emits one that resources/read can actually serve, so a citation you get back is always fetchable. "standard" and "thorough" also return contradictions[] flagging findings that disagree. Large records are semantically excerpted to the passages relevant to each facet (not head-truncated), so answers deep in a long filing/series aren't missed. Expect 15-60s (thorough with its follow-up + contradiction pass: up to ~90s).

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
depthNoHow many facets to research in parallel: quick=3 (single hop), standard=3 (default; adds a gap-recovery hop that re-angles unanswered facets + a contradictions[] scan across findings), thorough=6 (paid; adds a full iterative hop that chases leads + recovers gaps, plus the contradictions[] scan).
questionYesThe research question, in natural language. Broad/multi-part is fine — decomposition is the point.

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already cover read-only/idempotent semantics, and the description adds substantial behavioral context: account requirements, paid tier for 'thorough', parallel tool routing, gap reporting, citation format, latency expectations, rate limits, and depth differences. No contradiction with 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 long but information-dense; it front-loads the critical account requirement and core value proposition before diving into mechanics. Every sentence adds selection or invocation-relevant detail, and there is no filler.

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?

Given no output schema, the description fully compensates by explaining return structure, fields per finding, gap reporting, depth-dependent response types, latencies, and auth/rate-limit constraints. An agent has enough to decide when to call it and what to expect back.

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 meaning beyond the schema by explaining depth tiers in practical terms ('quick=3... standard... thorough=6'), paid restrictions, and how each depth affects results and rate-limit usage. This is useful but not a complete replacement for the schema, which is already strong.

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 states a specific verb and resource: 'Grounded multi-source research across Pipeworx's 1498 STRUCTURED data sources' via parallel decomposition/routing. It also clearly distinguishes itself from open-web search and from ask_pipeworx, so an agent can tell them apart.

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 when to use it ('Best for broad/multi-part questions over structured data') and when not to ('For a single lookup use ask_pipeworx instead'). It also provides a conditional alternative: 'If you are not signed in, use ask_pipeworx instead.'

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

Several tools form tight families with overlapping purposes: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, ask_pipeworx_grounded, and deep_research all handle research queries, and entity_profile/compare_entities/recent_changes aggregate overlapping data. The descriptions are thorough and do distinguish them, but an agent could easily select the wrong member of a family for a given query.

Naming Consistency3/5

Most tools use snake_case, but conventions vary: verb_noun (list_subscriptions, resolve_entity), domain-prefixed nouns (polymarket_arbitrage, coresignal_company), bare verbs (remember, forget, recall), and an ask_* family (ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_grounded). Patterns are predictable within clusters but there is no uniform server-wide convention.

Tool Count2/5

33 tools is well beyond the comfortable range, and the server named 'Coresignal' carries only two Coresignal-branded tools while also hosting prediction-market analysis, memory utilities, npm dependency scanning, llms.txt generation, and feedback mechanisms. The breadth feels bloated even though the core research platform is substantial.

Completeness4/5

The research/QA domain is well covered: simple lookup, grounded verification, deep multi-source research, entity resolution and profiling, comparisons, claim validation, subscriptions, and memory. Meta-tools like discover_tools and suggest_questions help navigation. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no standalone bulk-download or export tool), but there are no obvious dead ends.
