Ask Pipeworx

ask_pipeworx
Read-onlyIdempotent

PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for questions about current or historical data: SEC filings, FDA drug data, FRED/BLS economic statistics, government records, USPTO patents, ATTOM real estate, weather, clinical trials, news, stocks, crypto, sports, academic papers, or anything requiring authoritative structured data with citations. Routes the question to the right one of 5,724 tools across 1497 verified sources, fills arguments, returns the structured answer with stable pipeworx:// citation URIs. Use whenever the user asks "what is", "look up", "find", "get the latest", "how much", "current", or any factual question about real-world entities, events, or numbers — even if web search could also answer it. Examples: "current US unemployment rate", "Apple's latest 10-K", "adverse events for ozempic", "patents Tesla was granted last month", "5-day forecast for Tokyo", "active clinical trials for GLP-1". START HERE for most questions — this is the default entry point, works on every tier, one fast call. Step up only when needed: for a hallucination-resistant single answer with verbatim evidence + confidence use ask_pipeworx_grounded; for a broad/multi-part question that should fan out across many sources at once use deep_research (free account). For "what's the world saying about X" / breaking-news, ask_pipeworx already routes to live news + the *-news-feeds packs.

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already provide readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint, covering safety. The description adds valuable behavioral context beyond annotations: it explains the return format ('structured answer with stable pipeworx:// citation URIs'), performance ('one fast call'), and universality ('works on every tier'). This enriches the agent's expectations without contradicting any annotation.

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 long but well-structured. The key directive 'PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH' is front-loaded, followed by domains, then usage examples, then comparisons to alternatives. Every sentence serves a purpose; the length is justified by the tool's meta-nature and the need to differentiate from siblings. It could be tightened slightly but is not redundant.

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 the tool's complexity (a meta-router with no output schema), the description explains the return value ('structured answer with citations'), the underlying mechanism (routes to 5,724 tools, fills arguments), and the recommended default usage. It covers the main use cases and exceptions. Missing details like exact output structure or potential error conditions are minor because the tool's behavior is well-characterized overall.

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 coverage is 100% — all six parameters are described as aliases of 'question' with a clear natural-language description. The description reinforces that the parameter is a natural-language factual question and provides domain examples, but it doesn't add syntax, formatting, or constraints beyond what the schema already documents. Baseline 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 clearly states the tool's purpose: answering factual questions about current/historical data across a wide range of domains (SEC, FDA, economics, patents, real estate, news, etc.). It specifies a verb ('routes', 'returns') and a resource (a meta-tool accessing 5,724 tools). It distinguishes from siblings like ask_pipeworx_grounded and deep_research, making it easy to tell 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?

Explicit guidance is given: 'PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH' and 'START HERE for most questions' are direct instructions. It lists exactly when to use this tool vs. alternatives ('for a hallucination-resistant single answer... use ask_pipeworx_grounded; for a broad/multi-part question... use deep_research'). It also covers breaking-news cases, leaving no ambiguity about when to pick this tool.

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

A3.9/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have distinct purposes, with clear descriptions differentiating similar ones like ask_pipeworx and ask_pipeworx_grounded. However, some overlap exists between deep_research and ask_pipeworx, though descriptions provide guidance.

Naming Consistency2/5

Tool names are inconsistent, mixing snake_case (ai_visibility_check), multi-word phrases (scan_competitor_ai_presence), and simple verbs (query, recall). No uniform pattern like verb_noun convention.

Tool Count3/5

33 tools is on the high side, but the server covers a broad domain (data querying, prediction markets, subscriptions). It feels slightly heavy but still manageable; borderline between reasonable and excessive.

Completeness3/5

The Pipeworx and prediction market tools are comprehensive, but Brussels Open Data is underrepresented with only three tools (query, dataset_info, search_datasets). Missing update/delete operations for Brussels data, though likely read-only.
