Tool DescriptionsA

Average 4.1/5 across 15 of 15 tools scored. Lowest: 2.8/5.

Server CoherenceC
Disambiguation3/5

There is some overlap between the general ask_pipeworx tool and more specific tools like compare_entities, entity_profile, and validate_claim, which could cause ambiguity. However, most tools have distinct purposes, and descriptions help differentiate them.

Naming Consistency2/5

Naming is inconsistent: some tools use verb_noun patterns (ask_pipeworx, compare_entities), others are noun phrases (entity_profile, pipeworx_feedback), and some are single words (forget, recall). This lack of a uniform convention reduces predictability.

Tool Count2/5

While 15 tools is a reasonable number, many are unrelated to the server's apparent focus on Japanese statistics (e.g., tools for US companies, memory utilities). The set feels scattershot rather than cohesive for one domain.

Completeness2/5

For the stated domain of Japanese statistics, only 4 tools (list_data_catalog, search_stats, get_data, get_metadata) are relevant, leaving obvious gaps like comparison or trends. The US financial tools are complete for their purpose but misaligned with the server name.

Available Tools

18 tools
ask_pipeworxA
Read-only
Inspect

PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for questions about current or historical data: SEC filings, FDA drug data, FRED/BLS economic statistics, government records, USPTO patents, ATTOM real estate, weather, clinical trials, news, stocks, crypto, sports, academic papers, or anything requiring authoritative structured data with citations. Routes the question to the right one of 2,520 tools across 575 verified sources, fills arguments, returns the structured answer with stable pipeworx:// citation URIs. Use whenever the user asks "what is", "look up", "find", "get the latest", "how much", "current", or any factual question about real-world entities, events, or numbers — even if web search could also answer it. Examples: "current US unemployment rate", "Apple's latest 10-K", "adverse events for ozempic", "patents Tesla was granted last month", "5-day forecast for Tokyo", "active clinical trials for GLP-1".

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
questionYesYour question or request in natural language
Behavior4/5

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. Describes routing and result retrieval but does not explicitly state that it is read-only or disclose any side effects. However, behavior is implied as non-destructive querying.

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?

Description is informative but slightly verbose. Front-loaded with purpose and usage, includes multiple examples and source list. Could be trimmed slightly without losing meaning.

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 single parameter and no output schema or annotations, the description is complete: it explains the tool's functionality, when to use it, and provides examples. No critical gaps.

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 has 100% coverage with description 'Your question or request in natural language'. The tool description adds value by elaborating on the parameter's purpose, providing examples, and explaining how the question is processed.

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?

Clearly states the verb 'answer' and the resource 'natural-language question'. Describes automatic routing across many sources, distinguishing it from sibling tools that are specific to certain data packs or operations.

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?

Explicitly states 'Use when a user asks...' with concrete examples of question types, and advises against manually figuring out which tool to call, providing clear context for when to use this tool versus alternatives.

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

bet_researchA
Read-only
Inspect

Research a Polymarket bet by pulling the relevant Pipeworx data for it in one call. Pass a market slug ("will-bitcoin-hit-150k-by-june-30-2026"), a polymarket.com URL, or a question text. The tool resolves the market, classifies the bet (crypto price / Fed rate / geopolitical / sports / corporate / drug approval / election / other), fans out to the right packs (e.g. crypto+fred+gdelt for a BTC bet, fred+bls for a Fed bet, gdelt+acled+comtrade for Strait of Hormuz), and returns an evidence packet plus a simple market-vs-model comparison so the caller can see where the implied probability disagrees with the data. Use for "should I bet on X?", "what does the data say about this Polymarket market?", or "is there edge in this bet?". This is the core demo product — agents that get bet-relevant context here convert better than ones that have to discover the packs themselves.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
depthNoquick = 2-3 evidence sources, thorough = full fan-out. Default thorough.
marketYesPolymarket slug ("will-bitcoin-hit-150k-by-june-30-2026"), full URL ("https://polymarket.com/event/..."), or question text ("Will Bitcoin hit $150k by June 30?")
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true, openWorldHint=true, and destructiveHint=false. The description adds valuable behavioral details: it resolves markets, classifies bets (crypto price / Fed rate / etc.), fans out to appropriate data packs, and returns an evidence packet with comparison. This extends beyond the annotations without contradicting them.

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 front-loaded with the primary purpose and flows logically. It could be slightly more concise, as some phrases (e.g., the enumeration of bet types) are somewhat verbose. However, it remains well-structured and efficient for a complex tool.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's complexity and the absence of an output schema, the description fairly covers inputs, process, and output (evidence packet + comparison). It misses details on what the evidence packet contains, but the overall intent and usage are adequately conveyed. The openWorldHint annotation compensates for some variability.

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% with both parameters described. The description rephrases the market parameter but does not add new details about the depth parameter. It provides high-level context about the fan-out process but does not augment the schema's parameter descriptions meaningfully beyond what is already present.

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 'Research a Polymarket bet by pulling the relevant Pipeworx data for it in one call,' specifying a concrete verb and resource. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like ask_pipeworx and get_data by focusing exclusively on Polymarket bets and providing a market-vs-model comparison, making its 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 Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description explicitly lists usage scenarios: 'Use for "should I bet on X?", "what does the data say about this Polymarket market?", or "is there edge in this bet?".' It provides clear context but does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternatives among siblings, though the specificity implies exclusivity for Polymarket research.

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

compare_entitiesA
Read-only
Inspect

Compare 2–5 companies (or drugs) side by side in one call. Use when a user says "compare X and Y", "X vs Y", "how do X, Y, Z stack up", "which is bigger", or wants tables/rankings of revenue / net income / cash / debt across companies — or adverse events / approvals / trials across drugs. type="company": pulls revenue, net income, cash, long-term debt from SEC EDGAR/XBRL for tickers like AAPL, MSFT, GOOGL. type="drug": pulls adverse-event report counts (FAERS), FDA approval counts, active trial counts. Returns paired data + pipeworx:// citation URIs. Replaces 8–15 sequential agent calls.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
typeYesEntity type: "company" or "drug".
valuesYesFor company: 2–5 tickers/CIKs (e.g., ["AAPL","MSFT"]). For drug: 2–5 names (e.g., ["ozempic","mounjaro"]).
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It explains what data is pulled for each type (revenue, net income for companies; adverse events, trials for drugs), sources (SEC EDGAR/XBRL, FAERS), and output (paired data + citation URIs). It is transparent about the behavior but does not mention potential limitations or safety aspects.

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 concise (4 sentences) and front-loaded with the main purpose. Every sentence adds value: trigger phrases, data details, sources, and efficiency benefit. No redundant information.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's complexity (multi-type, multi-source), the description covers what each type returns, sources, and output format. It lacks an output schema but mentions 'paired data + citation URIs,' which is helpful. Slight gap in specifying the exact return structure.

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 baseline is 3. The description adds significant value beyond the schema by explaining how 'type' determines the data fields retrieved and providing concrete examples for 'values' (e.g., ["AAPL","MSFT"]). It enriches parameter understanding.

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 purpose: 'Compare 2–5 companies (or drugs) side by side in one call.' It specifies the verb 'compare' and the resource types (companies/drugs). It implicitly distinguishes from siblings like entity_profile by focusing on multi-entity comparison.

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 explicit trigger phrases ('compare X and Y', 'X vs Y', etc.) and use cases (tables/rankings). It notes the tool replaces 8-15 sequential calls, indicating when it is more efficient. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it (e.g., for a single entity).

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

discover_toolsA
Read-only
Inspect

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. Call this FIRST when you have many tools available and want to see the option set (not just one answer).

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
limitNoMaximum number of tools to return (default 20, max 50)
queryYesNatural language description of what you want to do (e.g., "analyze housing market trends", "look up FDA drug approvals", "find trade data between countries")
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must handle behavioral disclosure. It states it returns 'top-N most relevant tools with names + descriptions'. However, it does not mention any side effects, read-only nature, rate limits, or authentication requirements. For a simple search tool this is a minor gap.

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 a single sentence followed by a list of examples and usage advice. It is front-loaded with purpose and avoids redundancy. No wasted words, but slightly longer due to examples.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's simplicity (no output schema, few parameters), the description is sufficiently complete. It explains purpose, usage domain, return format, and when to call it. No output schema is needed for a tool that returns a list of tool names and descriptions.

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 3. The description adds examples for the query parameter and mentions default limit and max, but these are already in the schema description. Little additional value beyond 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 that the tool finds tools by describing data or task, explicitly listing many domains. It distinguishes from siblings by positioning itself as a first-step discovery tool ('Call this FIRST...'), which differentiates it from domain-specific tools in the sibling list.

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 explicit guidance on when to use ('when you need to browse, search, look up, or discover what tools exist') and advises calling it first. It does not explicitly mention when not to use, but the advice is clear enough.

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

entity_profileA
Read-only
Inspect

Get everything about a company in one call. Use when a user asks "tell me about X", "give me a profile of Acme", "what do you know about Apple", "research Microsoft", "brief me on Tesla", or you'd otherwise need to call 10+ pack tools across SEC EDGAR, SEC XBRL, USPTO, news, and GLEIF. Returns recent SEC filings, latest revenue/net income/cash position fundamentals, USPTO patents matched by assignee, recent news mentions, and the LEI (legal entity identifier) — all with pipeworx:// citation URIs. Pass a ticker like "AAPL" or zero-padded CIK like "0000320193".

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
typeYesEntity type. Only "company" supported today; person/place coming soon.
valueYesTicker (e.g., "AAPL") or zero-padded CIK (e.g., "0000320193"). Names not supported — use resolve_entity first if you only have a name.
Behavior4/5

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It discloses what data is returned (SEC filings, fundamentals, patents, news, LEI) and that URIs are provided. Does not mention rate limits or auth, but is comprehensive enough for a read tool.

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?

Single paragraph with front-loaded purpose, then usage, then return details, then input note. Efficient but could be slightly more structured with bullet points. No unnecessary words.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given tool complexity (aggregating multiple data sources), description covers key return categories and input constraints. No output schema, but listing what is returned suffices. Lacks details on result size or pagination, but overall complete for intended use.

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%, baseline 3. Description reinforces param meaning with examples and notes about name resolution, but adds minimal new info beyond schema. No significant enrichment.

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?

Description clearly states 'Get everything about a company in one call' with specific verb and resource. It lists multiple example queries and distinguishes from other tools by noting it replaces calling 10+ pack tools.

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?

Explicitly tells when to use ('when a user asks tell me about X...') and when not to use ('Names not supported — use resolve_entity first'). Provides clear context and alternatives.

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

forgetA
Destructive
Inspect

Delete a previously stored memory by key. Use when context is stale, the task is done, or you want to clear sensitive data the agent saved earlier. Pair with remember and recall.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
keyYesMemory key to delete
Behavior4/5

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

No annotations provided, but description clearly states destructive nature ('delete'). Does not mention error handling or permissions, but sufficient for a simple deletion.

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?

Two sentences, no wasted words. Essential information front-loaded.

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?

For a simple tool with one required parameter and no output schema, description fully covers purpose, usage, and context.

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?

Single parameter 'key' with description in schema. Description adds no extra meaning beyond schema. Schema coverage 100% so baseline 3.

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?

Description uses specific verb 'Delete' and resource 'memory by key'. Clearly distinguishes from siblings 'remember' and 'recall' by mentioning pairing.

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?

Provides explicit when-to-use scenarios: stale context, task done, or clearing sensitive data. Mentions pairing with related tools for alternative behavior.

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

get_dataB
Read-only
Inspect

Fetch observations from a stats table. Optionally filter by dimension codes.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
langNoJ | E
limitNo1-100000 (default 100)
filtersNoDimension code filters as { "cdCat01":"A03503", "cdTime":"2023" }
stats_data_idYesTable ID (statsDataId)
start_positionNo1-based row offset
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description must fully convey behavioral traits. It indicates a read operation ('Fetch') but lacks details on authorization, rate limits, pagination behavior, or what happens when no filters are applied. The description is adequate but minimally transparent.

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 a single sentence, making it very concise and front-loaded. It contains no fluff, but could be slightly expanded to include usage hints without losing brevity.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool has 5 parameters and no output schema, the description is too minimal. It does not explain the return format, pagination details, or how filters interact. The tool is moderately complex, and the description lacks sufficient context for confident use.

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?

All parameters have descriptions in the input schema (100% coverage), so the tool description's mention of 'Optionally filter by dimension codes' adds marginal value by summarizing the optional nature of the 'filters' parameter. However, it does not provide additional semantics beyond what the schema already offers.

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 verb 'Fetch' and the resource 'observations from a stats table', and mentions optional filtering by dimension codes. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like search_stats or get_metadata, which serve different purposes.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., search_stats). It does not specify prerequisites, when not to use it, or any context for prioritization among sibling tools.

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

get_metadataA
Read-only
Inspect

Fetch dimensions and code lists for a stats table.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
langNoJ | E
stats_data_idYesTable ID (statsDataId)
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It indicates a read operation ('fetch') without warnings about destructive actions or permissions. However, it lacks details like whether it requires authentication or the nature of the fetch (e.g., network call, database).

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 a single, concise sentence that directly states the tool's purpose. No extraneous words or redundancy.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The description is adequate for a simple metadata fetch, but it does not explain what is returned (e.g., format of dimensions or code lists) and there is no output schema to compensate. Could be more complete for an agent unfamiliar with the domain.

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?

The input schema covers 100% of parameters with descriptions (e.g., 'J | E' for lang, 'Table ID (statsDataId)' for stats_data_id). The description adds no extra meaning beyond what the schema already provides.

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 verb 'fetch' and the specific resource 'dimensions and code lists' for a 'stats table', which distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_data (retrieves data values) and list_data_catalog (lists tables).

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor any conditions or exclusions. The usage is only implied by the tool's name and description.

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

list_data_catalogC
Read-only
Inspect

Browse the high-level data catalog (table groupings).

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
langNoJ | E
limitNo1-100 (default 20)
queryNoOptional free-text filter
start_positionNo1-based offset
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations are empty, so the description carries full burden for behavioral context, but it only says 'browse', implying a read operation. It does not describe pagination behavior, response format, or any side effects. The presence of parameters like limit and start_position suggests pagination, but the description omits this.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

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

The description is extremely concise (6 words), front-loading the verb and resource. However, it is so short that it omits potentially helpful information about parameter usage or return format, making it slightly underspecified for a tool with 4 optional parameters.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

No output schema exists, so the description should indicate what the tool returns (e.g., list of grouping names or IDs). It only says 'browse' without specifying the output structure. For a simple list tool, this is a notable gap.

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?

Input schema provides 100% coverage with descriptions for all 4 parameters (lang, limit, query, start_position). The tool description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, so per guidelines, baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the verb 'browse' and the resource 'high-level data catalog (table groupings)', distinguishing it from sibling tools like get_data or get_metadata which deal with specific data or metadata. However, it could be more explicit about what it does not return.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. With 14 sibling tools including get_data, get_metadata, and search_stats, the agent receives no hints about the appropriate context for browsing the catalog vs. querying specific data.

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

pipeworx_feedbackAInspect

Tell the Pipeworx team something is broken, missing, or needs to exist. Use when a tool returns wrong/stale data (bug), when a tool you wish existed isn't in the catalog (feature/data_gap), or when something worked surprisingly well (praise). Describe the issue in terms of Pipeworx tools/packs — don't paste the end-user's prompt. The team reads digests daily and signal directly affects roadmap. Rate-limited to 5 per identifier per day. Free; doesn't count against your tool-call quota.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
typeYesbug = something broke or returned wrong data. feature = a new tool or capability you wish existed. data_gap = data Pipeworx does not currently expose. praise = positive note. other = anything else.
contextNoOptional structured context: which tool, pack, or vertical this relates to.
messageYesYour feedback in plain text. Be specific (which tool, what error, what data was missing). 1-2 sentences typical, 2000 chars max.
Behavior5/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full behavioral disclosure. It discloses rate limiting (5 per identifier per day), that it is free and doesn't count against tool-call quota, and that the team reads digests daily, affecting roadmap. No contradictions exist.

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 a single paragraph that is concise and well-structured. It front-loads the purpose, then provides usage guidelines, and ends with constraints. Every sentence serves a purpose with no wasted words.

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 description is fully complete for the tool's role. It explains when to use, what to include, limitations (rate limit, quota), and outcome (feedback informs roadmap). With a nested object and no output schema, the description covers all needed context.

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% with all parameters described. The description adds significant value: it explains the enum values in detail, clarifies the optional context parameter's purpose, and provides guidance on writing the message (be specific, 1-2 sentences, 2000 chars max). This goes beyond the schema's descriptions.

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 is for providing feedback to the Pipeworx team about bugs, features, data gaps, or praise. It enumerates specific types and their meanings, and distinguishes the tool from sibling tools (which are mainly data retrieval or entity tools) by its feedback-only purpose.

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 by mapping each enum value to a specific scenario (bug, feature, data_gap, praise). It also advises against pasting end-user prompts and notes rate limits and quota, providing clear context for appropriate use.

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

polymarket_arbitrageA
Read-only
Inspect

Find arbitrage opportunities on Polymarket by checking for monotonicity violations across related markets. TWO MODES: (1) event — pass a single Polymarket event slug; walks that event's child markets and checks ordering within it. (2) topic — pass a topic / seed question (e.g. "Strait of Hormuz traffic returns to normal"); the tool searches across separate events for related markets, groups them, then checks monotonicity. Cross-event mode catches the cases where Polymarket lists each cutoff as its own event ("…by May 31" is event A, "…by Jun 30" is event B — single-event mode misses the May≤June rule). Returns ranked opportunities with suggested trade direction + reasoning.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
eventNoSingle-event mode: Polymarket event slug (e.g. "when-will-bitcoin-hit-150k") or full URL.
topicNoCross-event mode: a topic or seed question. Tool searches Polymarket for related markets across separate events and checks monotonicity across them. E.g. "Strait of Hormuz traffic returns to normal".
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description adds details like walking child markets, extracting dates/thresholds, sorting, and reporting violations, which are consistent 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?

The description is concise yet complete, with a clear front-loaded purpose and specific example. Every sentence adds value.

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?

For a single-parameter tool with no output schema, the description fully covers what the tool does, how it works, and what it returns. The logic and output format are explicitly stated.

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% and the description adds slight context beyond the schema (e.g., example slug). Baseline 3 is appropriate as the schema already defines the parameter well.

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 finds arbitrage opportunities by checking monotonicity violations. It specifies the resource (Polymarket event) and distinguishes from siblings like polymarket_edges, which likely cover other analyses.

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?

It explains when to use (when there are multiple markets with dates/thresholds) and what input to provide (event slug/URL). However, it does not explicitly mention when not to use or alternative tools.

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

polymarket_edgesA
Read-only
Inspect

Scan the highest-volume Polymarket markets and return the ones where Pipeworx data disagrees most with the market price. V1 covers crypto-price bets (lognormal model from FRED + live coinpaprika price): scans top markets, groups by asset, fetches each asset's price history ONCE, computes model probability per market, ranks by |edge|. Returns top N ranked by edge magnitude with suggested trade direction. Built for the "what should I bet on today" question — agents/users discover opportunities without paging through hundreds of markets by hand.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
limitNoTop N edges to return after ranking. Default 10, max 25.
windowNoPolymarket volume window to filter markets. Default 1wk.
min_edge_ppNoMinimum |edge| in percentage points to include (default 0.5).
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations indicate read-only, open-world, non-destructive behavior. The description adds substantial behavioral detail: V1 covers crypto-price bets using a lognormal model from FRED and live coinpaprika price, scans top markets, groups by asset, fetches price history once, computes model probability, ranks by |edge|, and returns suggestions. 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.

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is a single paragraph with clear front-loading of the main purpose. It includes necessary details about the model and process, but is somewhat lengthy at multiple sentences. Could be slightly more concise, but still effective.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The tool is complex with no output schema, but the description explains the model process, ranking logic, and output (top N with trade direction) adequately. It omits error handling or edge cases, but provides enough for an agent to understand the tool's behavior.

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?

The input schema has 100% description coverage for all three parameters (limit, window, min_edge_pp). The description does not add new meaning to the parameters beyond what the schema already provides (e.g., defaults and constraints are already in schema). Baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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 scans high-volume Polymarket markets and returns those where Pipeworx data disagrees most with market price. It specifies the verb 'scan' and resource 'Polymarket markets', and distinguishes by noting it's built for discovering opportunities without manual paging, though it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling polymarket_arbitrage.

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 explicitly targets the 'what should I bet on today' question and mentions discovering opportunities without paging. It provides clear context for when to use the tool, but lacks explicit guidance on when not to use it or alternatives (e.g., polymarket_arbitrage).

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

recallA
Read-only
Inspect

Retrieve a value previously saved via remember, or list all saved keys (omit the key argument). Use to look up context the agent stored earlier — the user's target ticker, an address, prior research notes — without re-deriving it from scratch. Scoped to your identifier (anonymous IP, BYO key hash, or account ID). Pair with remember to save, forget to delete.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
keyNoMemory key to retrieve (omit to list all keys)
Behavior4/5

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It discloses two modes (key present vs omitted), scoping to user identifier, and relation to remember/forget. Lacks details on error handling or return format, but sufficient for a simple retrieval tool.

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 three sentences with no wasted words. The main action is front-loaded, and each sentence adds value (purpose, use case, scoping, pairing).

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

No output schema, but tool is low-complexity with one optional parameter. Description covers scoping and pairing. Could mention return type, but not essential for effective use.

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?

Input schema coverage is 100% and the schema's parameter description already explains the 'omit to list keys' behavior. The tool description reiterates this without adding new semantic information, so baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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 retrieves a saved value or lists all keys, with verb+resource specificity. It distinguishes from sibling tools (remember, forget) by describing the operation and pairing.

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 says when to use (to recall stored context like ticker, address) and mentions pairing with remember/forget. Does not explicitly list when not to use, but context is clear enough for an agent to decide.

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

recent_changesA
Read-only
Inspect

What's new with a company in the last N days/months? Use when a user asks "what's happening with X?", "any updates on Y?", "what changed recently at Acme?", "brief me on what happened with Microsoft this quarter", "news on Apple this month", or you're monitoring for changes. Fans out to SEC EDGAR (recent filings), GDELT (news mentions in window), and USPTO (patents granted) in parallel. since accepts ISO date ("2026-04-01") or relative shorthand ("7d", "30d", "3m", "1y"). Returns structured changes + total_changes count + pipeworx:// citation URIs.

ParametersJSON 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").
Behavior4/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full transparency burden. It discloses the parallel fan-out to three sources (SEC, GDELT, USPTO) and the output structure (changes, count, URIs). However, it does not address error conditions, rate limits, or side effects. The behavior is well-covered but not exhaustive.

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 a single paragraph that efficiently front-loads the purpose, provides examples, and then gives technical details. Every sentence is informative and earns its place with no redundancy.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given no output schema and no annotations, the description covers the tool's core functionality well: it explains the data sources, return format, and parameter formats. However, it omits details on error handling or behavior when no changes are found, leaving minor gaps.

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 baseline is 3. The description adds value by explaining the 'since' parameter formats (ISO date vs relative shorthand like '7d'), the 'value' parameter (ticker or CIK), and the limited 'type' option. This enriches the schema beyond the raw property descriptions.

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 purpose: retrieving recent changes for a company. It provides specific verb-resource pairs ('What's new with a company') and example user queries, distinguishing it from sibling tools like entity_profile 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 explicit use cases and example queries ('when a user asks...'), but does not mention when not to use this tool or suggest alternatives. The guidance is strong but lacks exclusions.

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

rememberAInspect

Save data the agent will need to reuse later — across this conversation or across sessions. Use when you discover something worth carrying forward (a resolved ticker, a target address, a user preference, a research subject) so you don't have to look it up again. Stored as a key-value pair scoped by your identifier. Authenticated users get persistent memory; anonymous sessions retain memory for 24 hours. Pair with recall to retrieve later, forget to delete.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
keyYesMemory key (e.g., "subject_property", "target_ticker", "user_preference")
valueYesValue to store (any text — findings, addresses, preferences, notes)
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description fully bears the transparency burden. It discloses scope (across sessions), scoping by identifier, persistence behavior (authenticated users persistent, anonymous 24 hours), and pairs with forget. Could mention overwrite behavior but is otherwise transparent.

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 three sentences, front-loaded with purpose, and each sentence adds value. No wasted words; covers purpose, usage, pairing, and persistence efficiently.

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?

For a simple two-parameter tool with no output schema, the description is complete. It explains what, when, how, scope, persistence, and pairing with siblings. No apparent gaps.

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 baseline is 3. The description adds examples for key ('subject_property', 'target_ticker') and explains value as 'any text.' This adds meaning beyond the schema's descriptions.

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 verb 'Save' and the resource 'data the agent will need to reuse later.' It distinguishes itself from siblings by mentioning pairing with 'recall' and 'forget,' and provides specific examples of data to save (resolved ticker, target address, user preference).

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 explicitly says 'Use when you discover something worth carrying forward' and gives concrete examples. It also mentions pairing with recall and forget. Lacks explicit 'when not to use' but provides sufficient guidance for common scenarios.

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

resolve_entityA
Read-only
Inspect

Look up the canonical/official identifier for a company or drug. Use when a user mentions a name and you need the CIK (for SEC), ticker (for stock data), RxCUI (for FDA), or LEI — the ID systems that other tools require as input. Examples: "Apple" → AAPL / CIK 0000320193, "Ozempic" → RxCUI 1991306 + ingredient + brand. Returns IDs plus pipeworx:// citation URIs. Use this BEFORE calling other tools that need official identifiers. Replaces 2–3 lookup calls.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
typeYesEntity type: "company" or "drug".
valueYesFor company: ticker (AAPL), CIK (0000320193), or name. For drug: brand or generic name (e.g., "ozempic", "metformin").
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It mentions returns IDs and pipeworx:// citation URIs and implies a read operation. However, it does not disclose error handling, permissions, or what happens if the entity is not found, limiting transparency to a 3.

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?

Description is well-structured, front-loads the main purpose, and uses bullet-like examples. It is concise but not overly terse, earning a 4.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given no output schema, description explains return format (IDs plus URIs). Covers primary use cases and includes replacement claim. Lacks edge-case details, but for a lookup tool this is reasonably complete, scoring a 4.

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 schema already fully documents both parameters. Description adds examples and context but does not provide additional parameter semantics beyond what the schema offers, baseline 3 is appropriate.

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?

Description specifically states 'look up canonical/official identifier' for company or drug, lists exact ID systems and examples, and contrasts with sibling tools by highlighting that it provides identifiers needed by other tools, making purpose unambiguous.

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?

Clearly says to use when needing official identifiers and to call before other tools, providing explicit context. Does not mention when not to use, but the positive guidance is strong enough for a 4.

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

search_statsA
Read-only
Inspect

Search e-Stat statistical tables. Returns IDs and names for tables matching the query. Use the IDs with get_data / get_metadata.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
langNoJ (Japanese, default) | E (English)
limitNo1-100000 (default 20)
queryYesFree-text (Japanese or English)
start_positionNo1-based row offset (default 1)
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations exist, so the description must disclose behaviors. It states that it returns IDs and names, which is useful. However, it does not mention pagination behavior, default parameter values beyond schema, or any side effects. This is adequate but not thorough.

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 extremely concise, consisting of two sentences. Every sentence serves a purpose: the first explains the core function, the second provides next-step guidance. No wasted words.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a search tool with 4 parameters and no output schema, the description covers the main output (IDs and names) and how to use results. It lacks mention of total counts or empty result handling, but given the schema richness, it is nearly complete.

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?

The input schema has 100% coverage with descriptions, so the baseline is 3. The description adds no additional parameter meaning beyond what the schema provides, maintaining parity.

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 searches e-Stat statistical tables and returns IDs and names, using specific verb 'Search' and resource 'e-Stat statistical tables'. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like 'get_data' and 'get_metadata' by specifying that the output IDs are used with those tools.

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 explicit guidance on what to do with the results ('Use the IDs with get_data / get_metadata'), which implies the tool is for discovery. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool over alternatives or mention exclusions, leaving some clarity to the agent.

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

validate_claimA
Read-only
Inspect

Fact-check, verify, validate, or confirm/refute a natural-language factual claim or statement against authoritative sources. Use when an agent needs to check whether something a user said is true ("Is it true that…?", "Was X really…?", "Verify the claim that…", "Validate this statement…"). v1 supports company-financial claims (revenue, net income, cash position for public US companies) via SEC EDGAR + XBRL. Returns a verdict (confirmed / approximately_correct / refuted / inconclusive / unsupported), extracted structured form, actual value with pipeworx:// citation, and percent delta. Replaces 4–6 sequential calls (NL parsing → entity resolution → data lookup → numeric comparison).

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
claimYesNatural-language factual claim, e.g., "Apple's FY2024 revenue was $400 billion" or "Microsoft made about $100B in profit last year".
Behavior4/5

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

Given no annotations, the description fully carries the burden. It discloses supported claim types, data sources (SEC EDGAR + XBRL), and return structure (verdict types, actual value, citation). Missing limitations like only US public companies, but still comprehensive.

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 front-loaded with purpose, then usage, scope, returns, and efficiency. It is clear and well-structured, though slightly verbose with multiple examples. Still efficient for the information conveyed.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a simple 1-parameter tool with no output schema, the description covers purpose, usage, scope, return types, and underlying data sources. Minor gap: does not explain verdict terms like 'approximately_correct'. Overall, it is fairly complete.

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 baseline is 3. The description does not add significant meaning beyond the schema's parameter description for 'claim'. The examples in the description are helpful but already implied by 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 uses specific verbs (fact-check, verify, validate, confirm/refute) and a clear resource (natural-language factual claim). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like ask_pipeworx or compare_entities by focusing on claim validation.

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?

Provides explicit usage examples and context (e.g., 'Is it true that…?') and mentions scope (company-financial claims). However, it lacks explicit do-not-use scenarios, which is a minor gap.

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