Search Within a Source

search_within
Read-onlyIdempotent

Semantic search INSIDE a fetched record. Pass the text you already pulled (e.g. a SEC 10-K body, an article, a long tool result) plus a natural-language query; get back the top-N passages with character offsets and similarity scores. Use when the record is too big to cram into the prompt — search_within saves context, returns only the passages that matter, and every passage carries an offset so the agent can verify a verbatim quote. Pairs with ask_pipeworx_grounded: fetch with the gateway, ground over the relevant passages instead of the whole document. BGE-base-en embeddings + cosine over 500-char overlapping windows; cap is 200K chars (longer inputs are truncated and flagged).

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
textYesThe document text to search inside (max ~200K chars).
limitNoMax passages to return (1-20, default 5).
queryYesNatural-language query — what passages do you want? E.g. "supply-chain risk", "fiscal year 2024 revenue", "drug interactions with warfarin".

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations indicate readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint=false. Description adds significant behavioral details: uses BGE-base-en embeddings, cosine similarity, 500-char overlapping windows, 200K char limit with truncation flag. No contradiction with annotations.

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?

Description is a focused 6-sentence paragraph. Front-loads core purpose: 'Semantic search INSIDE a fetched record.' Each sentence adds value with no redundancy. Efficiently covers key aspects.

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 no output schema, description fully explains return values (passages, character offsets, similarity scores). Covers constraints (200K chars, truncation), embedding details, and relationship to sibling tool. Complete for a tool of moderate 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 coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. Description adds usage context (e.g., 'Pass the text you already pulled') but does not provide new technical detail beyond what schema already states for each parameter. Marginally adds value.

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?

Title 'Search Within a Source' and description clearly state it performs semantic search inside a fetched record. It specifies inputs (text, query) and outputs (top-N passages with offsets and similarity scores). Distinguishes from siblings by pairing with ask_pipeworx_grounded. Specific verb+resource.

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?

Explicitly states when to use: 'when the record is too big to cram into the prompt.' Describes it saves context and returns relevant passages. Mentions pairing with ask_pipeworx_grounded as an alternative workflow. Lacks explicit 'when not to use' but context is clear.

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

A3.6/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Several tool clusters have overlapping purposes: the three ask_pipeworx variants are nearly identical, polymarket_edges and polymarket_arbitrage both scan for opportunities, and ai_visibility_check vs scan_competitor_ai_presence create confusion. Although descriptions are detailed, an agent could easily misselect among these.

Naming Consistency3/5

Most tools follow snake_case verb_noun (get_article, search_journals, resolve_entity), but there are brand-prefixed names (ask_pipeworx*, pipeworx_trending, pipeworx_feedback) and noun-phrase tools (entity_profile, bet_research) that break the pattern. The three ask_pipeworx variants are consistently named but confusable.

Tool Count2/5

35 tools is excessive for a coherent server, especially one where many tools are meta-routes (ask_pipeworx, deep_research) that could consolidate functionality. The count exceeds the 25-tool threshold for 'heavy' and includes several one-off tools (generate_llms_txt, scan_dependency) that don't fit the dominant data-access theme.

Completeness3/5

The DOAJ subset is complete for read-only search and retrieval, but the server lacks a clear domain: it mixes DOAJ, prediction markets, memory, and subscriptions. For the broader Pipeworx platform, there are some dead ends (e.g., no subscription editing, no raw historical market data, no batch tools), and the non-DOAJ tools create confusion about what the server is actually for.
