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.

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the readOnly, idempotent, openWorld, and non-destructive annotations, the description extensively discloses behavior: source fan-out, soft-fail for the USPTO API, empty sections meaning real 'no data', private-company resolution returning resolved:false with notes, and the interchangeable handling of type values. This is exactly the kind of contextual behavioral disclosure that helps an agent interpret results correctly.

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 long, but the tool is genuinely complex with many sources and failure modes to document. It is front-loaded with usage examples and the core one-call value proposition, and the later semicolon-separated return fields are dense but useful. A slightly tighter structure would help, but no sentence feels wasted.

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?

With no output schema, the description carries the full burden of explaining return values, and it does so thoroughly: it enumerates each response section, explains URI formats, notes expected empty cases (FDA small-molecule companies), and covers failure semantics for both sources and private companies. An agent has everything needed to invoke the tool and interpret its result.

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%, so the schema already documents both parameters. The description adds genuine value by explaining that type accepts 'company' or 'ticker' interchangeably regardless of the value shape, that values may be a ticker, zero-padded CIK, or company name, and that names resolve via SEC EDGAR company-name matching. This goes beyond the baseline without being verbose.

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 states a specific verb-resource pair ('full cross-source profile of a US public company') and opens with concrete user-phrase examples that make the intent unmistakable. It also differentiates itself from the generic 'single-pack' lookups by emphasizing the holistic one-call nature, so an agent can tell it apart from sibling tools like resolve_entity or compare_entities.

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 clear context for when to invoke it: when the user asks to 'tell me about', 'research', 'brief me on', or wants a company profile. It also provides an explicit preference rule: 'ALWAYS PREFER over chaining single-pack SEC/XBRL/news lookups when the user asks for a holistic view.' It stops short of explicitly naming sibling alternatives or stating when not to use the tool, so it earns a 4 rather than a 5.

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
Disambiguation2/5

Several tools have near-identical purposes: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta (explicitly identical today), and ask_pipeworx_grounded are the same router with only an evidence-extraction difference. polymarket_edges, bet_research, and polymarket_arbitrage also overlap heavily in surfacing mispricings, and ai_visibility_check is essentially a single-entity version of scan_competitor_ai_presence.

Naming Consistency3/5

There are recognizable patterns: ask_pipeworx_*, polymarket_*, verb_noun pairs like define_word, get_synonyms, resolve_entity. However, conventions are mixed across the set — ask_pipeworx_beta uses a suffix, ai_visibility_check vs scan_competitor_ai_presence are phrased in different styles, and memory tools (remember/recall/forget) follow yet another pattern. Readable but not predictable.

Tool Count2/5

33 tools is heavy for a single server, and many of them are meta-tools (discover_tools, suggest_questions, ask_pipeworx variants, pipeworx_trending, pipeworx_feedback, memory tools) that inflate the surface. The count would be defensible if each tool were orthogonal, but the overlap in research/Polymarket/memory areas means several tools do not earn their place.

Completeness4/5

For the actual Pipeworx data-access domain, coverage is quite rich: lookup, grounded answers, deep research, entity profiles, comparisons, claim validation, subscriptions, memory, and discovery tools all exist. Minor gaps remain (e.g., no tool to manage account/API keys, patents soft-fail), but the core query-research-monitor lifecycle is well covered. The server name 'dictionary' is misleading — only two tools serve a dictionary purpose — yet the inferred domain from descriptions is a data gateway, for which the surface is strong.
