Read-onlyIdempotent

"What's new with X" / "latest on Y" / "what happened to Z this week / month / quarter" / "updates on Acme" / "news on Tesla recently" / "what's happening with Apple" — change feed for a company in the last N days/weeks/months in ONE parallel call. Fans out to SEC EDGAR (filings since since), GDELT→GNews fallback (news mentions in window — GDELT preferred, GNews when rate-limited or 5xx), USPTO (patents granted; PatentsView API sunset May 2025 so this soft-fails until reactivated). since accepts ISO date ("2026-04-01") or relative shorthand ("7d", "30d", "3m", "1y"). Returns structured changes[] grouped by source + total_changes count + pipeworx:// citation URIs. Use entity_profile instead when you want the static profile (filings + fundamentals + LEI + patents) regardless of window.

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Description adds behavioral context beyond annotations: fans out to multiple sources, fallback from GDELT to GNews on rate limits, USPTO soft-fail. Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and idempotentHint, and description complements with operational details.

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?

Description is a single dense paragraph but front-loaded with examples. Could be slightly more structured (e.g., bullet points for sources), but every sentence adds value with no redundancy.

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?

Despite no output schema, description explains return format: 'structured changes[] grouped by source + total_changes count + pipeworx:// citation URIs.' Also references alternative tool entity_profile for static data, covering completeness.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% with parameter descriptions. Description adds practical meaning: 'since' accepts ISO dates or relative shorthands ('7d', '30d'), 'value' can be ticker or CIK. Provides typical usage hints like 'Use 30d or 1m for typical monitoring.'

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 provides a change feed for a company, with examples like 'What's new with X' and 'latest on Y'. It lists the data sources (SEC EDGAR, GDELT/GNews, USPTO) and differentiates from the sibling entity_profile tool, ensuring 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 Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly states when to use this tool vs alternatives: 'Use entity_profile instead when you want the static profile.' Provides query examples and context for typical monitoring windows like '30d' or '1m'.

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

Many tools have closely related or overlapping purposes: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta (currently identical), and ask_pipeworx_grounded all route to the same underlying toolset, while discover_tools and suggest_questions both help agents discover capabilities. The polymarket_* family also has several opportunity-scanning tools with subtle differences, though detailed descriptions help clarify.

Naming Consistency3/5

Names are mostly snake_case but follow mixed patterns: verb-first (ask_pipeworx, validate_claim), noun-first (entity_profile, bet_research, la_recent), and bare verbs (remember, forget, unsubscribe). The prefix groups (la_, pipeworx_, polymarket_) show some consistency, but there is no uniform verb_noun convention.

Tool Count2/5

34 tools is well into the 'too many' range for a single server. The surface bundles several distinct domains—structured data querying, prediction markets, LA open data, memory, subscriptions, and npm scanning—making it feel like a kitchen sink rather than a focused toolset.

Completeness4/5

Within each bundled sub-domain, coverage is strong: query/grounded/research/entity-profile/compare/validate covers data workflows; polymarket tools include research, edge scan, arbitrage, fill-risk, and cross-venue spread; LA data has search/query/recent; memory and subscription lifecycles are fully CRUD. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no way to browse LA dataset attributes beyond search), but no major dead ends.
