Data Norfolk

Query

query
Read-onlyIdempotent

Run a Socrata SoQL query against a Norfolk Open Data dataset by resource_id (e.g. "cab7-wvn5"). Filter with where/select/group/order (SoQL clauses, without the leading $) plus limit/offset. Returns matching rows as JSON.

TDQS

A4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the description's mention of returning JSON adds minimal extra transparency. No behavioral quirks beyond what annotations cover are disclosed.

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?

Two sentences concisely convey purpose, syntax, and output. The action verb 'Run' is front-loaded, and no extraneous words are present.

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?

For a 7-parameter tool with no output schema, the description adequately covers the purpose and usage. It could mention that not all parameters are required, but the schema already indicates required fields.

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 coverage is 100% with descriptions for each parameter. The description adds value by clarifying that SoQL clauses should omit the leading $ and provides an example, enhancing understanding beyond the schema.

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 runs a Socrata SoQL query against a specific dataset identified by resource_id. It lists the filter clauses and return format, making the purpose unambiguous. No sibling tool appears similar.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description explains how to use the tool (with SoQL clauses and limit/offset) but does not explicitly state when not to use it or suggest alternatives. Sibling 'datasets' implies listing datasets, but no direct exclusions are given.

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

A3.6/5.0
Disambiguation1/5

ask_pipeworx and ask_pipeworx_beta are currently identical, deep_research overlaps ask_pipeworx for multi-faceted questions, and the five Polymarket tools plus bet_research all target the same market-analysis space. Several tools appear to do the same thing, and even detailed descriptions can't fully separate them.

Naming Consistency3/5

All names are lowercase snake_case and mostly readable, but the set mixes bare nouns (datasets, query, recall) with verb phrases (generate_llms_txt, validate_claim) and domain-prefixed compounds (polymarket_edges, pipeworx_trending). The ask_pipeworx family is internally consistent, but the overall pattern is not uniform.

Tool Count2/5

34 tools is well above the 25-tool threshold for a coherent set, especially since many are meta-tools (suggest_questions, discover_tools, pipeworx_feedback, pipeworx_trending) or one-off utilities (generate_llms_txt, scan_dependency). The server tries to cover data lookup, prediction markets, memory, subscriptions, and AI visibility in a single surface.

Completeness3/5

Within each subdomain (data lookup, memory, subscriptions, Polymarket) the main workflows are covered, and the memory/subscription clusters have full CRUD. But the server name promises Norfolk Open Data, which is barely represented by three read-only tools, and odd one-offs like generate_llms_txt and scan_dependency have no supporting ecosystem.
