"What's new with X" / "latest on Y" / "what happened to Z this week / month / quarter" / "updates on Acme" / "news on Tesla recently" / "what's happening with Apple" — change feed for a company in the last N days/weeks/months in ONE parallel call. Fans out to SEC EDGAR (filings since since), GDELT→GNews fallback (news mentions in window — GDELT preferred, GNews when rate-limited or 5xx), USPTO (patents granted; PatentsView API sunset May 2025 so this soft-fails until reactivated). since accepts ISO date ("2026-04-01") or relative shorthand ("7d", "30d", "3m", "1y"). Returns structured changes[] grouped by source + total_changes count + pipeworx:// citation URIs. Use entity_profile instead when you want the static profile (filings + fundamentals + LEI + patents) regardless of window.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
typeYesEntity type. Only "company" supported today.
sinceYesWindow start — ISO date ("2026-04-01") or relative ("7d", "30d", "3m", "1y"). Use "30d" or "1m" for typical monitoring.
valueYesTicker (e.g., "AAPL") or zero-padded CIK (e.g., "0000320193").

TDQS

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already provide readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and openWorldHint. The description adds significant context: it fans out to multiple sources (SEC EDGAR, GDELT/GNews with fallback, USPTO), explains rate-limiting behavior, and notes API sunset. No contradictions 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.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is slightly long but well-structured. It starts with example queries, then explains behavior, parameter details, and ends with sibling comparison. Every sentence adds value; length is justified given complexity.

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?

The tool has 3 required params and no output schema, but the description explains return fields (changes[], total_changes count, citation URIs) and covers behavior across sources, fallbacks, and limitations. It provides a complete picture for agent usage.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, baseline 3. The description adds substantial meaning: explains `since` accepts ISO or relative shorthand with examples and suggests typical usage ('30d'). It clarifies `type` is limited to 'company' and `value` accepts ticker or zero-padded CIK.

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 provides a 'change feed for a company in the last N days/weeks/months in ONE parallel call' with example queries like 'What's new with X'. It explicitly distinguishes itself from the sibling tool entity_profile.

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 gives explicit when-to-use guidance with natural language examples (e.g., 'latest on Y', 'updates on Acme') and explicitly directs users to entity_profile for static profiles. It also explains fallback behavior and soft-fail conditions.

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

The server includes many overlapping tools (e.g., multiple ask_pipeworx variants, epa_regulation vs. epa_search vs. discover_tools). More critically, the tool set covers vastly different domains (Polymarket bets, npm packages, AI visibility, memory storage) alongside EPA regulations, making it hard for an agent to distinguish purposes.

Naming Consistency2/5

Tool names use a mix of styles: underscore (epa_regulation, ask_pipeworx), camelCase (deep_research, suggest_questions), and verb phrases (scan_competitor_ai_presence). No consistent pattern is followed across the set.

Tool Count2/5

33 tools is high for a server named 'Epa Regulations'. The vast majority are unrelated to EPA regulations (e.g., Polymarket, npm scanning, memory functions), making the scope mismatched. A focused server should have fewer, domain-specific tools.

Completeness1/5

For a server claiming to be about EPA regulations, only two tools (epa_regulation, epa_search) are directly relevant. The rest are from unrelated domains, leaving severe gaps in expected functionality like rule updates, compliance checks, or cross-referencing with other environmental data.
