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).

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Goes well beyond annotations (readOnlyHint, idempotentHint) by explaining that results include full schemas with examples, are ready to call directly, and that default/max limits apply. No contradictions 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?

Every sentence is purposeful: domain list, return format detail, usage directive. No redundancy; compact yet fully informative.

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 discovery role, the description fully covers purpose, input, output (including that schemas are returned), and usage context. No output schema is needed because description explains what is returned.

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 covers 100% of parameters with descriptions. The description adds value by explaining the query alias pattern and providing example queries, but the schema already handles semantics adequately.

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?

Uses specific verb 'Find' and resource 'tools by describing data or task.' Lists many example domains (SEC filings, financials, etc.) and distinguishes from siblings by positioning as the tool to call first when browsing options. No ambiguity.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly states 'Use when you need to browse, search, look up, or discover' and 'Call this FIRST when you have many tools available.' Provides clear when-to-use context but does not explicitly enumerate when not to use or name sibling alternatives.

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

A4.1/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have clearly distinct purposes, but there is some overlap among the meta-querying tools like ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research, and discover_tools, which could cause confusion for an agent deciding which to use.

Naming Consistency3/5

Tool names use a mix of verb_noun and noun patterns, with snake_case throughout but no single consistent structure (e.g., ask_pipeworx vs. bet_research vs. dataset). The naming is readable but not uniform.

Tool Count4/5

At 33 tools, the count is on the higher side but justifiable given the broad scope of the Pipeworx platform, covering data querying, entity analysis, prediction markets, memory, subscriptions, and feedback.

Completeness4/5

The toolset covers a wide range of data sources and operations, including querying, entity profiling, comparisons, prediction market analysis, and monitoring. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no direct SEC filing viewer), but the meta-tools handle these adequately.
