Scan Dependency

scan_dependency
Read-onlyIdempotent

Composite "should I add this npm package to my project" check in ONE call — fans out across deps.dev (license + advisories + version history) and bundlephobia (gzipped/minified bundle size, dependency count, ESM/tree-shake support). Use whenever an agent asks "is X safe / popular / small" or "what does adding lodash cost me". Returns a summary block (is_latest, license, published_at, advisory_count, bundle_kb_min, bundle_kb_gz, dependency_count, has_esm, tree_shakeable), per-advisory detail, links, and a list of recent alternative versions. NPM ecosystem only in v1; PyPI / Maven / Cargo / Go fall under deps.dev:version directly. Partial failures degrade gracefully — bundlephobia's first measurement on a new version can take 5-30s; sources_failed will list it if it times out, the rest still returns.

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint true. Description adds behavioral detail beyond annotations: 'Partial failures degrade gracefully — bundlephobia's first measurement on a new version can take 5-30s; sources_failed will list it if it times out, the rest still returns.' No contradiction.

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 detailed but every sentence adds value, including purpose, usage, return content, limitations, and error handling. Slightly long but well-structured and front-loaded.

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 thoroughly explains return format: 'summary block... per-advisory detail, links, and a list of recent alternative versions.' Also covers partial failure behavior. Complete for a 2-param tool.

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 both parameters. Description adds context: default version behavior ('Defaults to the latest published version when omitted') and scoped package acceptance, providing value beyond 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?

Description starts with a clear verb phrase 'Composite should I add this npm package to my project check' specifying the resource and action. It distinguishes from siblings by detailing the combined sources (deps.dev + bundlephobia) and ecosystem scope.

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: 'Use whenever an agent asks "is X safe / popular / small" or "what does adding lodash cost me".' Also specifies when not: 'NPM ecosystem only in v1; PyPI / Maven / Cargo / Go fall under deps.dev:version directly.'

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.
