Recent Changes

recent_changes
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.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
typeYesEntity type. Only "company" supported today.
sinceYesWindow start — ISO date ("2026-04-01") or relative ("7d", "30d", "3m", "1y"). Use "30d" or "1m" for typical monitoring.
valueYesTicker (e.g., "AAPL") or zero-padded CIK (e.g., "0000320193").

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

The description adds significant behavioral context beyond the annotations: fans out to multiple data sources, fallback logic, soft-fail for patents, return structure. No contradiction with annotations (readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, etc.).

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 dense and informative, but it is a single paragraph without structuring aids like bullet points or section breaks. Still efficient 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, the description explains the return structure (changes[] grouped by source, total_changes count, citation URIs). It covers multiple data sources, fallbacks, and parameter details, making it complete for a tool of this complexity.

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?

The description adds meaning beyond the input schema: explains that type only supports 'company', gives examples for since (ISO vs relative), and clarifies value can be ticker or CIK. Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3, but the extra context earns a 5.

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 (SEC, news, patents) and distinguishes from the sibling tool entity_profile by specifying when to use the latter instead. The verb 'recent changes' is specific and the examples clarify the use case.

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?

The description gives explicit example queries and directs to entity_profile for static profiles. It also explains fallback behavior (GDELT→GNews) and the since parameter format. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or compare with other siblings beyond entity_profile.

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

A4.3/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have clearly distinct purposes, but the ask_pipeworx trio (ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, ask_pipeworx_grounded) and the polymarket cluster (arbitrage, edges, edge_tracker, fill_risk, kalshi_spread) could cause confusion without careful reading. However, the detailed descriptions effectively differentiate each tool's specific role.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow consistent snake_case convention with a verb-noun pattern (e.g., compare_entities, recent_changes, resolve_entity). There are no mixed conventions or chaotic naming, making the set predictable and easy to navigate.

Tool Count4/5

At 34 tools, the set is extensive but justified by the server's broad scope covering Vermont open data, Pipeworx data platform, prediction markets, and utility features. Each tool earns its place, though the count is slightly high compared to typical servers.

Completeness4/5

The tool surface covers data retrieval, entity analysis, prediction markets, memory, subscriptions, feedback, and claim validation. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no direct compliance tools), but the set is comprehensive for its stated purpose of data integration and analysis.
