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).

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations indicate safe read operation and idempotent behavior. Description adds valuable context: returns top-N relevant tools with schemas and examples, ready to call directly. No contradictions.

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?

Well-structured, front-loaded with purpose, each sentence adds value, no wasted words.

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 the tool's purpose, the description fully explains what it returns (tool names, descriptions, schemas, examples) and how to use it, making it complete 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 coverage is 100%, and the description mentions query parameter aliases and examples. However, it does not add significant new meaning beyond the schema descriptions, so 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?

Clearly states the tool finds tools by describing data/task, lists many domains, and distinguishes itself from siblings as the first tool to call for discovery.

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 says 'Call this FIRST when you have many tools available and want to see the option set (not just one answer).' Provides clear context for when to use.

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
Disambiguation3/5

Several tools overlap in purpose: ask_pipeworx and ask_pipeworx_beta are explicitly identical right now, and ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research, and validate_claim all query the same underlying data catalog in similar ways. The descriptions provide detailed usage guidance, but the query family and the five-strong Polymarket family still create real misselection risk. Memory, subscription, and FCC tools are clearly distinct.

Naming Consistency4/5

Tool names are consistently snake_case and mostly follow recognizable verb_noun or prefixed-family patterns (ask_pipeworx_*, polymarket_*, pipeworx_*). The main deviations are bare one-word names like datasets, metadata, query, remember, and forget, plus a few noun-first names like entity_profile and polymarket_arbitrage. Overall the naming is readable and predictable, with only minor inconsistencies.

Tool Count2/5

At 34 tools, this server is well past the 25+ threshold and feels overloaded. It bundles a general-purpose data-query gateway, FCC open-data access, Polymarket analytics, AI-visibility scanning, memory, subscriptions, npm dependency checks, and llms.txt generation into one surface. Each functional area is small on its own, but the combined set would be more coherent split into several focused servers.

Completeness4/5

The core data lifecycle is well covered: discovery (suggest_questions, discover_tools), single queries (ask_pipeworx), grounded/evidence-backed answers, deep multi-source research, entity resolution/profiling/comparison, change feeds, and fact-checking all exist. FCC open data has search, schema, and query tools, and subscriptions/memory have full CRUD-style coverage. Minor gaps remain (e.g., no direct pipeworx:// URI fetch tool, no enumeration of all discoverable data sources), but they do not block typical workflows.
