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).

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and the description aligns with these by stating it returns tool definitions and is a discovery action. No contradictions or unstated behavioral traits.

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 slightly lengthy but well-structured: first sentence defines purpose, then usage context, then return details. Every sentence adds value, though some redundancy in listing domains could be trimmed.

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 fully explains what is returned (names, descriptions, full schemas) and that results are callable directly. Covers all necessary context for an agent to use the tool effectively.

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 descriptions for each parameter. The description adds value by listing alias parameters ('Accepts task, q, description, search') and providing examples, going beyond the schema.

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 verb ('Find tools by describing the data or task'), lists specific domains, and explains what it returns (top-N tools with schemas). It explicitly distinguishes from siblings by advising 'Call this FIRST when you have many tools available'.

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 provides clear usage context ('Use when you need to browse, search, look up, or discover what tools exist') and a strong recommendation ('Call this FIRST'). It lacks explicit when-not-to-use or alternatives, but the guidance is sufficient for an AI agent.

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

A3.8/5.0
Disambiguation3/5

Several tools form tight clusters that are easy to confuse: ask_pipeworx/ask_pipeworx_beta/ask_pipeworx_grounded are near-identical in routing, and the six polymarket_* tools (edges, arbitrage, edge_tracker, fill_risk, kalshi_spread, bet_research) all operate on prediction markets with overlapping names and purposes. While each has a distinct job, an agent will need to read descriptions very carefully to pick the right one, especially when many are similar.

Naming Consistency2/5

Naming conventions are mixed throughout the set: many tools use verb_noun (ask_pipeworx, compare_entities, discover_tools, resolve_entity, validate_claim), but there are also noun_noun (polymarket_edges, entity_profile, bet_research), adjective_noun (deep_research, recent_alerts), and bare verbs (forget, recall, remember, subscribe). No consistent pattern emerges, making tool names harder to predict and remember.

Tool Count2/5

At 34 tools, this server is heavy and tries to serve many unrelated domains—data research, prediction markets, package registries, memory, subscriptions, and AI visibility. The prediction-markets cluster alone accounts for six highly specialized tools that could be consolidated. The scope feels bloated rather than focused, which will overwhelm agents exploring the toolset.

Completeness4/5

Each domain within the server has solid coverage: data lookups offer stable, beta, grounded, and deep-research variants; entity analysis has profile, compare, changes, and resolve; subscriptions support create/list/delete/alert-read; memory has set/get/list/delete. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no direct package search by keyword, no tool to update a subscription), but the major workflows are covered and there are no dead ends.
