Validate Claim

validate_claim
Read-onlyIdempotent

"Is it true that…" / "fact check" / "verify the claim that…" / "did X really…" / "was Y actually…" / "confirm or refute" / "true or false" — natural-language claim verification against authoritative sources. Use whenever the agent needs to check whether something a user said is factually correct. Company-financial claims (revenue, net income, cash for public US companies) verify via the structured SEC EDGAR + XBRL fast path with exact percent-delta math; ANY OTHER factual claim (macro statistics, rates, prices, drug data, records) automatically falls through to the grounded pipeline — routed to the right live source, answered with verbatim evidence, then judged. Returns a verdict (confirmed / approximately_correct / refuted / inconclusive / unsupported / could_not_verify), the grounded or structured actual value with pipeworx:// citation, and reasoning. IMPORTANT for callers: could_not_verify means the check did not happen (our LLM or source failed) and carries verification_error{stage,detail} — it is NOT evidence for or against the claim, and must not be shown as one. unsupported means we looked and cover no source for it. Replaces 4–6 sequential calls (NL parsing → entity resolution → data lookup → comparison).

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
claimYesNatural-language factual claim, e.g., "Apple's FY2024 revenue was $400 billion" or "Microsoft made about $100B in profit last year".
tolerance_pctNoMax percent deviation still graded approximately_correct (0.5–50). Overrides the tolerance implied by the claim wording — set 1–2 for hallucination detection where any material error must be refuted. Default: implied by wording, capped at 5.

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint false, but the description adds substantial behavioral detail: the two pipeline paths, exact percent-delta math, verbatim evidence with pipeworx:// citation, and the nuanced distinction between 'could_not_verify' (check did not happen) and 'unsupported' (no source found). This goes far beyond the annotations and is essential for correct caller interpretation.

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?

Although the description is lengthy, every sentence earns its place: trigger phrases, usage context, pipeline details, return values, and caller caveats are all included without redundancy. It is well-structured, front-loaded with purpose, and uses clear sections for different facets.

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?

The tool is complex with two distinct paths and nuanced verdict semantics, but the description fully covers these aspects. It explains the return verdicts, error handling, citations, and comparative advantage over sequential calls, making it complete even without an output schema.

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?

The input schema provides 100% coverage with clear descriptions for both 'claim' and 'tolerance_pct'. The description does not add any additional parameter semantics beyond what the schema already exposes, so a baseline score of 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 uses specific action verbs ('validate', 'verify', 'fact check') and clearly defines the resource: natural-language factual claims verified against authoritative sources. It further distinguishes itself from siblings by noting it replaces 4–6 sequential calls (NL parsing → entity resolution → data lookup → comparison), making it a purpose-specific standalone tool.

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?

Explicit usage guidance is provided: 'Use whenever the agent needs to check whether something a user said is factually correct.' It also gives conditional routing (company-financial claims via SEC EDGAR/XBRL fast path, any other claim through grounded pipeline) and critical caller instructions on how to interpret 'could_not_verify' versus 'unsupported.'

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.
