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.

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Discloses that it fans out across two services, returns a summary block with specific fields, handles partial failures gracefully (sources_failed list), and notes that first measurement on new version can take 5-30s. Annotations already provide readOnly/idempotent hints, and description adds practical behavior details without 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?

The description is a single, dense paragraph that front-loads the main purpose. Every sentence adds value, but it could be slightly more structured (e.g., bullet points). Still very efficient and readable.

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 absence of an output schema, the description thoroughly explains the return format (summary block fields, per-advisory detail, links, alternative versions). It also covers ecosystem limitations and partial failure behavior, making it complete for this tool's complexity.

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 description coverage is 100% (both parameters have descriptions). The tool description does not add meaningful information beyond the schema; it restates that package is an npm name and version defaults to latest. Per guidelines, baseline of 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?

The description clearly states the tool's purpose: a composite check for adding npm packages, combining deps.dev and bundlephobia data. It distinguishes from siblings as the only dependency scanner, identifies the resource (npm package), and lists specific checks (license, advisories, bundle size, etc.).

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: when an agent asks 'is X safe/popular/small' or 'what does adding lodash cost me'. Also specifies when not to use (other ecosystems) and suggests alternative (deps.dev:version directly). Provides context on partial failures and behavior.

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 have overlapping purposes: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, and ask_pipeworx_grounded all route questions to similar data sources, while search_within also overlaps with grounded answering. bet_research, polymarket_edge_tracker, and polymarket_fill_risk all target prediction markets. Agents must read descriptions carefully to pick the right variant.

Naming Consistency4/5

Most tools follow a verb_noun snake_case pattern (ask_pipeworx, bet_research, validate_claim, resolve_entity). Some are single nouns (recent_alerts, recent_changes, key_alerts), a few break the convention (ask_pipeworx_beta, ask_pipeworx_grounded, remember, forget). Overall mostly consistent with minor deviations.

Tool Count2/5

34 tools is a high count for a general-purpose data server, and several seem redundant: ask_pipeworx vs ask_pipeworx_beta vs ask_pipeworx_grounded, polymarket_edge_tracker vs polymarket_arbitrage, and the numerous meta-tools create overhead. A focused dataset server would be better with 10–15 tools.

Completeness4/5

The surface covers many domains well: SEC filings, economics/FRED, prediction markets, news, clinical trials, San Francisco open data, npm dependencies. Obvious gaps include no financial statement form filings beyond 8-K/10-K, no calendar/event scheduling, and no update-else path for several key objects (but memory tools fill that gap). Attribution currently ships in almost all requested tools, providing evidence.
