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).

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true, covering the safety profile. The description adds valuable behavioral context: it returns 'top-N most relevant tools with names, descriptions, and full input schemas (with curated examples)' and notes 'each result is ready to call directly, no second schema lookup needed.' This discloses return format and behavior that annotations do not.

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 three sentences and front-loaded with the core purpose. The middle sentence lists many domains, which is slightly lengthy but directly informative about scope. The final sentence gives important usage context. No wasted words, though the domain list could be condensed without losing value.

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?

The description explains what the tool returns (top-N tools with names, descriptions, schemas, examples), when to use it (first when many tools available), and its non-destructive nature via annotations. There is no output schema, but the description covers the return format well enough for an agent to use the tool effectively. Missing only minor details like pagination or error handling, which are not critical for a discovery tool.

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%, so all parameters are already documented with meaningful descriptions. The description does not add significant parameter-level detail beyond the schema; it only reinforces that the query is a natural language description. This meets the baseline for full schema coverage.

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 function: 'Find tools by describing the data or task.' It uses a specific verb ('find') and resource ('tools'), and the phrase 'browse, search, look up, or discover what tools exist' distinguishes it from sibling tools that perform actual data queries. The list of domains further clarifies scope without ambiguity.

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 guidance is provided: 'Use when you need to browse, search, look up, or discover what tools exist' and 'Call this FIRST when you have many tools available and want to see the option set.' This tells the agent exactly when to invoke this tool versus alternatives, and the 'FIRST' directive implies it is a precursor to selecting other tools.

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

B3.4/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

The tool set is a mix of country lookups and many unrelated Pipeworx tools (e.g., prediction markets, memory, subscriptions). While the country-specific tools are distinct, the overall set is a hodgepodge, making it difficult for an agent to determine which tools are relevant to a given task.

Naming Consistency2/5

Naming conventions are mixed: some use verb_noun (search_countries), some noun_verb (countries_by_currency), some single verbs (forget, recall), and some phrases (ai_visibility_check, ask_pipeworx). No consistent pattern is followed.

Tool Count1/5

35 tools is excessive for a server named 'countries'. Only about 6-7 tools are actually related to countries; the rest are unrelated (Pipeworx services, prediction markets, etc.), creating an extreme mismatch between the server name and its content.

Completeness2/5

For the country domain, the tool set includes search and lookups by code/currency/language/region but lacks basic CRUD, comparisons, maps, or sorting. Additionally, the presence of many unrelated tools dilutes completeness for the stated purpose.
