Discover Tools

discover_tools
Read-onlyIdempotent

Find tools by describing the data or task. Use when you need to browse, search, look up, or discover what tools exist for: SEC filings, financials, revenue, profit, FDA drugs, adverse events, FRED economic data, Census demographics, BLS jobs/unemployment/inflation, ATTOM real estate, ClinicalTrials, USPTO patents, weather, news, crypto, stocks. Returns the top-N most relevant tools with names, descriptions, and full input schemas (with curated examples) — each result is ready to call directly, no second schema lookup needed. Call this FIRST when you have many tools available and want to see the option set (not just one answer).

TDQS

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already indicate read-only, idempotent, non-destructive behavior. The description adds: returns top-N relevant tools with names, descriptions, full schemas with examples, and that results are ready to call directly without a second lookup. No contradictions.

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?

The description is a single paragraph that efficiently covers purpose, supported domains, output format, and usage guidance. Every sentence adds value without 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?

For a tool with 6 parameters (100% schema coverage) and no output schema, the description fully explains input (query as natural language, limit), output (top-N tools with schemas ready to call), and context (use first to discover options). No gaps.

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 descriptive parameter names. The description explains the 'query' parameter accepts natural language and lists aliases, plus provides examples. This adds value beyond the schema, justifying a score above the baseline of 3.

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 action ('Find tools by describing the data or task') and lists specific domains it covers (SEC filings, financials, etc.). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools by being the discovery/search tool, and emphasizes returning results ready to call.

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 'Use when you need to browse, search, look up, or discover what tools exist for...' and 'Call this FIRST when you have many tools available and want to see the option set (not just one answer).' This provides clear context and sequencing advice.

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

A4.1/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have distinct purposes, but there is some overlap between ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research, and similar data query tools. However, detailed descriptions help agents differentiate.

Naming Consistency4/5

Names consistently use snake_case and a mix of verb_noun and noun_verb patterns. No camelCase is present, but some tools like 'generate_llms_txt' have embedded acronyms, which slightly reduces consistency.

Tool Count3/5

33 tools is high, but the server covers a wide range of functionalities (data lookups, prediction markets, RSS feeds, memory). Some tools could be combined, but the count is within reasonable limits for a comprehensive tool server.

Completeness4/5

The tool set covers major areas like entity lookups, prediction market analysis, data retrieval, and memory management. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no RSS feed deletion tool), but overall it is quite comprehensive.
