Entity Profile

entity_profile
Read-onlyIdempotent

"Tell me about X" / "research Acme" / "brief me on Tesla" / "what does Apple do" / "company profile for Microsoft" / "give me the rundown on NVDA" / "everything you know about $TICKER" — full cross-source profile of a US public company in ONE parallel call. ALWAYS PREFER over chaining single-pack SEC/XBRL/news lookups when the user asks for a holistic view. Fans out across SEC EDGAR, XBRL, USPTO patents, federal contracts (USAspending), FDA-licensed biologics (Purple Book), H-1B hiring (DOL LCA), news and GLEIF, and returns: cik + company_name (+ resolved_from/resolved_to when value was a name); recent_filings (up to 5 with pipeworx://edgar/company/{cik}/filings/{accession} URIs); fundamentals (LATEST 10-K Revenues + NetIncomeLoss + Cash, sorted period_end DESC); patents (USPTO PatentsView API sunset May 2025 — soft-fails until reactivated); federal_contracts (USAspending awards where the company is the recipient); fda_products (FDA-licensed biologics — vaccines, cell/gene therapies — from the Purple Book; a company with only small-molecule/generic drugs will show none here, that is expected, not a failure); hiring (H-1B sponsorship volume + salary range from DOL LCA filings); recent news mentions via GDELT→GNews fallback; LEI via GLEIF. sources_used / sources_failed say which of these actually returned data for THIS company — an empty section is a real "no data", not a bug. Pass a ticker ("AAPL"), zero-padded CIK ("0000320193"), OR a company name ("Moderna") — names now resolve via SEC EDGAR's company-name match; a private company (no CIK/ticker) returns resolved:false with an explicit notes line, not a bare failure. type accepts "company" or "ticker" interchangeably — both take the same value shapes above.

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

With annotations already indicating readOnly, idempotent, and non-destructive, the description goes well beyond by disclosing fan-out behavior, per-source soft-failures (USPTO sunset), 'sources_used/sources_failed' semantics, and the expectation that an empty section means genuine no-data, not failure. It also details private-company behavior explicitly.

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 long, but appropriately so for a multi-source fan-out tool with many return sections. It is front-loaded with usage examples, then flows through accepted inputs, return payload, and edge cases in a logical order. Every sentence carries a distinct caveat or clarification.

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 tool's complexity, the absence of an output schema, and the two-parameter input, the description is exceptionally complete: it enumerates all return sections, explains expected empty results, names the fallback chain (GDELT→GNews), and specifies accepted input forms. An agent can select and invoke this tool correctly with no further inference.

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%, so the baseline is 3. The description repeats and reinforces the schema's 'company'/'ticker' interchangeability and the value shapes, but adds little new parameter-level meaning beyond concrete examples like 'AAPL', '0000320193', and 'Moderna'.

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 opens with concrete user-phrase examples and an explicit anchor: 'full cross-source profile of a US public company in ONE parallel call.' It names the specific resource (US public company profile) and immediately differentiates from single-pack lookups, making the tool's purpose unmistakable.

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?

The description directly states when to use this tool: whenever the user asks for a holistic view, and explicitly says to 'ALWAYS PREFER over chaining single-pack SEC/XBRL/news lookups.' It also covers the private-company edge case (resolved:false with notes), giving an agent clear routing criteria.

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

Tools have mostly clear distinctions: ask_pipeworx variants differ by grounding/evidence guarantees, and meta-tools (discover_tools, suggest_questions) serve onboarding. However, ask_pipeworx_beta currently matches ask_pipeworx exactly, creating transient ambiguity, and deep_research vs ask_pipeworx overlap in routing capability though with different scopes.

Naming Consistency4/5

All tools use snake_case and most follow verb-first naming (ask_pipeworx, compare_entities, generate_avatar, subscribe). A few are descriptive nouns (recent_alerts, recent_changes, pipeworx_trending) but still readable and predictable. No mixed conventions; overall consistent style.

Tool Count2/5

33 tools is excessive for a single server, and many are auxiliary (avatar generation, memory, feedback) that do not serve the core data-access purpose. The primary question-answering capability is centralized in a few routers, making many separate tools feel redundant or unrelated, which dilutes navigability.

Completeness4/5

The core domain of structured data access is well covered with routing, grounded answering, deep research, entity profiles, comparisons, and claim validation. Subscription lifecycle (subscribe/unsubscribe/alerts) and memory (remember/recall/forget) round out the surface. Minor gaps like lack of direct tool invocation outside the router are covered by discover_tools, and no critical dead ends exist for typical queries.
