Tool Definition Quality
Average 4.1/5 across 18 of 18 tools scored. Lowest: 1/5.
Most tools have distinct purposes (e.g., bet_research vs compare_entities), but the set mixes EU Parliament tools (mep, meps) with unrelated data-fetching and betting tools (ask_pipeworx, polymarket_arbitrage), creating conceptual confusion. An agent might struggle to decide when to use a parliament tool vs. a general data tool.
Tool names use inconsistent patterns: verb_noun (ask_pipeworx, compare_entities), noun_noun (entity_profile, session_calendar), single verbs (forget, recall), and acronyms (mep, meps). This lack of a unified convention makes it harder for an agent to infer functionality from the name.
With 18 tools, the count is moderate, but only 4 (mep, meps, plenary_documents, session_calendar) are relevant to the 'Eu Parliament' domain. The remaining 14 tools are general-purpose and belong to a different server, making the set feel bloated and off-topic.
For an EU Parliament server, the tool surface is severely incomplete: it lacks search, voting records, committees, legislation details, and procedure tracking. The general tools do not fill these gaps, leaving a minimal and underpowered parliament interface.
Available Tools
18 toolsask_pipeworxARead-onlyInspect
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".

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate readOnly and openWorld. The description adds significant behavioral context: mentions routing to 1,423+ tools across 392+ sources, returns structured answer with stable citation URIs. No contradiction with annotations, and it enriches agent understanding of what happens.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is informative but slightly verbose. It front-loads the key preference directive and organizes logically with examples. Each sentence adds value, but could be trimmed slightly without losing clarity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity as a router, the description covers when to use, question types, data sources, and output format (citations). No output schema exists, but the description adequately explains what to expect. Fully meets the needs of an AI agent.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100% for the single 'question' parameter. The description adds value by specifying the range of acceptable questions (factual, structured data) and providing examples, going beyond the schema's generic 'natural language' description.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: routing questions about structured data to appropriate tools, with specific examples of domains (SEC filings, FDA data, etc.) and verb phrases like 'look up' and 'find'. It distinguishes itself from web search, making its purpose unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly instructs 'PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH' for factual, structured data queries. Provides a list of query types and examples (e.g., 'current US unemployment rate') and advises use whenever the user asks for factual information, offering clear when-to-use guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
bet_researchARead-onlyInspect
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.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| depth | No | quick = 2-3 evidence sources, thorough = full fan-out. Default thorough. | |
| market | Yes | Polymarket 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?") |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already mark readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true. The description adds behavioral context: it resolves the market, classifies the bet, fans out to relevant packs, and returns a comparison. No contradictions.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise at 4-5 sentences, front-loaded with the main action, and each sentence adds meaningful detail without redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
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 the return value (evidence packet plus market-vs-model comparison) and the internal logic (resolving, classifying, fanning out). It 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.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%. The description adds value beyond the schema by explaining the depth enum ('quick = 2-3 evidence sources, thorough = full fan-out') and the market parameter's accepted formats (slug, URL, question text), which the schema only describes as 'string'.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: researching a Polymarket bet by pulling Pipeworx data. It specifies input formats (slug, URL, question text) and outputs (evidence packet, market-vs-model comparison), and distinguishes itself as the core demo product for bet research.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Provides explicit use cases: 'should I bet on X?', 'what does the data say about this Polymarket market?', 'is there edge in this bet?'. It implicitly contrasts with sibling tools by stating agents using this convert better. No explicit when-not-to-use, but the positive guidance is strong.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
compare_entitiesARead-onlyInspect
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.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| type | Yes | Entity type: "company" or "drug". | |
| values | Yes | For company: 2–5 tickers/CIKs (e.g., ["AAPL","MSFT"]). For drug: 2–5 names (e.g., ["ozempic","mounjaro"]). |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations (readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, destructiveHint) are consistent. Description adds data sources (SEC EDGAR/XBRL for companies, FAERS for drugs) and return format (paired data + citation URIs), providing behavioral context beyond annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, front-loaded with primary action. Every sentence is informative with no redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Covers purpose, triggers, behaviors, and parameters for both entity types. Could be more explicit about output format (e.g., table structure) but sufficient given no output schema.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions. Description adds meaning by explaining how type determines data pulled and giving examples for values (tickers, drug names), enhancing schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states 'Compare 2–5 companies (or drugs) side by side in one call.' Specifies verb, resource, scope, and how it replaces sequential calls, distinguishing it from siblings.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Provides explicit when-to-use triggers with example user queries ('compare X and Y', 'X vs Y', etc.) and describes the two modes. Lacks explicit when-not-to-use guidance but adequately signals its role.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
discover_toolsARead-onlyInspect
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).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Maximum number of tools to return (default 20, max 50) | |
| query | Yes | Natural language description of what you want to do (e.g., "analyze housing market trends", "look up FDA drug approvals", "find trade data between countries") |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already provide readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description adds that it returns 'top-N most relevant tools with names + descriptions' and lists data categories, which is useful context beyond annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences with an inline list, front-loaded with purpose, no wasted words. Extremely concise and well-structured.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, the description adequately explains return values (tool names and descriptions). It covers purpose, usage context, and result format completely for a search/discovery tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% and descriptions are clear. The tool description does not add further semantics beyond what the input schema provides, 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.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Find tools by describing the data or task' and lists specific categories (SEC filings, financials, etc.). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools by being the discovery meta-tool.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly says 'Call this FIRST when you have many tools available and want to see the option set (not just one answer).' This provides strong when-to-use guidance and implies when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
entity_profileARead-onlyInspect
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".
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| type | Yes | Entity type. Only "company" supported today; person/place coming soon. | |
| value | Yes | Ticker (e.g., "AAPL") or zero-padded CIK (e.g., "0000320193"). Names not supported — use resolve_entity first if you only have a name. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true. The description adds valuable behavioral context: it aggregates from multiple sources (SEC, USPTO, news, GLEIF) and returns specific data types with citation URIs. 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single paragraph but packs essential information: purpose, use cases, return data, parameter clarification. It is front-loaded with the primary function. Minor redundancy ('tell me about X' examples could be shortened) but overall efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (aggregation across multiple domains), the description fully covers purpose, usage conditions, return value composition, and parameter limitations. No output schema exists, but the description compensates by listing what is returned.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
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 extra meaning: 'type' is only 'company' currently, 'value' can be ticker or CIK, and names are not supported. This improves an agent's understanding beyond the raw schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states a specific verb ('Get everything') and resource ('about a company'), clearly distinguishing from siblings like 'resolve_entity' by mentioning it handles ticker/CIK but not names.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicit when-to-use provided with example user queries, and a when-not-to-use: if only a name, use 'resolve_entity' first. This directly guides agent decision-making.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
forgetADestructiveInspect
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.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| key | Yes | Memory key to delete |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false. The description adds context about clearing sensitive data and deleting by key, enhancing transparency without contradiction.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, front-loaded with the primary action, and no unnecessary words. Every sentence serves a purpose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity (one parameter, no output schema, annotations cover safety), the description fully addresses what the tool does, when to use it, and how it relates to siblings.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with a single parameter 'key' described as 'Memory key to delete.' The description's 'by key' marginally reinforces but does not add significant meaning beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Delete a previously stored memory by key,' providing a specific verb ('delete') and resource ('memory'). This distinguishes it from siblings like 'remember' (store) and 'recall' (retrieve).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly lists when to use: 'when context is stale, the task is done, or you want to clear sensitive data.' Also suggests pairing with 'remember' and 'recall,' indicating alternatives and context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
mepCRead-onlyInspect
Single MEP by id.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, covering safety. Description adds no extra behavioral context, but no contradiction.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Very concise (4 words) but lacks structure. Front-loads purpose, but omits necessary details for a complete understanding.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple 1-param tool with no output schema, the description is minimally complete. However, it does not explain what 'MEP' means, leaving some ambiguity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%. The description adds 'by id' which indicates the parameter is an identifier, but lacks format or constraints.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Single MEP by id' clearly states the tool retrieves one MEP by ID. It implies differentiation from the sibling 'meps' (plural) but does not explicitly distinguish.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives (e.g., 'meps' for multiple MEPs). Missing context for when to choose this tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
mepsBRead-onlyInspect
List MEPs (current term by default).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| term | No | Parliamentary term number (e.g. 10 = 2024-2029). | |
| group | No | EP political group acronym (e.g. "EPP"). | |
| limit | No | ||
| offset | No | ||
| country | No | ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 (e.g. "DEU"). |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is clear. The description adds only the default term behavior but does not disclose pagination, filtering mechanics, or output structure, adding minimal value beyond annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is exceptionally concise—only seven words—and immediately communicates the core action and default behavior. Every word earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has 5 parameters, no output schema, and moderate schema coverage, the description is too sparse. It fails to explain pagination (limit/offset), filtering by group or country, or the response format. A minimal listing tool still benefits from more context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 60% (3 of 5 parameters have descriptions). The tool description does not elaborate on any parameters or their usage, nor does it compensate for the two undocumented parameters (limit, offset). No additional meaning is added beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'List MEPs (current term by default)' uses a specific verb ('List') and resource ('MEPs'), and includes default behavior. It distinguishes from the sibling tool 'mep' (singular) which likely retrieves a single MEP.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies listing MEPs, but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'mep' or filtering conditions. Usage context is only implicit.
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.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| type | Yes | bug = 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. | |
| context | No | Optional structured context: which tool, pack, or vertical this relates to. | |
| message | Yes | Your feedback in plain text. Be specific (which tool, what error, what data was missing). 1-2 sentences typical, 2000 chars max. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Beyond annotations (which indicate no read-only, destructive, or open-world implications), the description discloses rate limits, quota-free usage, and that feedback affects the roadmap. It also states the team reads digests daily, providing operational context.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single paragraph but front-loads purpose and then covers specifics. It is fairly concise given the amount of information, though could be slightly tighter. No unnecessary sentences.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, the description adequately covers what to expect (team reviews, roadmap impact) and constraints (rate limits, quota-free). It also explains what not to include, making it complete for a feedback tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with detailed descriptions for all parameters. The description adds minimal extra meaning about parameters (e.g., 'don't paste end-user prompt') but primarily reinforces usage context. Baseline 3 is appropriate as schema already handles semantics.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: to tell the Pipeworx team about bugs, feature requests, data gaps, or praise. It specifies distinct categories (bug, feature, data_gap, praise) and differentiates from sibling tools, which are largely data query tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly states when to use the tool (wrong/stale data for bug, missing tool for feature/data_gap, positive experience for praise) and what not to do (don't paste the end-user's prompt). It also mentions rate limits (5 per identifier per day) and that it's free with no quota impact.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
plenary_documentsCRead-onlyInspect
Plenary documents.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| term | No | ||
| type | No | e.g. "REPORT", "MOTION_FOR_RESOLUTION" | |
| limit | No | ||
| offset | No |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint true and destructiveHint false, but the description adds no further behavioral context. There is no disclosure about response format, pagination, or what 'plenary documents' refers to. The description adds minimal value beyond the annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise (two words) but at the expense of informativeness. It does not earn its place because it adds almost no useful information. A good concise description would pack meaning into few words; this one is merely underspecified.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With no output schema, low parameter documentation, and no explanation of what the tool returns or how it works, the description is incomplete. An agent would lack essential context to use this tool correctly, especially given the complexity of 4 parameters and no required fields.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is only 25% (only 'type' has a description). The tool description does not explain the roles of 'term', 'limit', or 'offset'. Given low coverage, the description fails to compensate by clarifying parameter semantics or providing usage examples.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Plenary documents.' is a simple noun phrase that restates the tool name without indicating any action or purpose. It fails to say what the tool does (e.g., list, search, retrieve). Among siblings like entity_profile and bet_research, there is no differentiation.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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. The description does not mention use cases, prerequisites, or exclusions. The agent has no context for selecting this tool over others.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
polymarket_arbitrageARead-onlyInspect
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.

|---|---|---|---|
| event | No | Single-event mode: Polymarket event slug (e.g. "when-will-bitcoin-hit-150k") or full URL. | |
| topic | No | Cross-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". |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Provides clear explanation of the two modes and the underlying logic (monotonicity violations). No contradiction with annotations; adds detail about return format.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Concise and front-loaded. Every sentence adds value. The structure with bolded mode names improves readability.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description provides sufficient context for an agent to understand the tool's capabilities, modes, and return values. Given the lack of output schema, the description compensates by stating what is returned.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Even though schema coverage is high, the description enriches the parameter semantics by explaining the purpose of each mode with concrete examples, helping the agent understand which parameter to use.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly defines the tool's function: finding arbitrage via monotonicity violations on Polymarket. It details two modes and explains what it returns, making its purpose distinct from other tools like polymarket_edges.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 each mode with examples and explains why one mode may be insufficient, enabling correct selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
polymarket_edgesARead-onlyInspect
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.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Top N edges to return after ranking. Default 10, max 25. | |
| window | No | Polymarket volume window to filter markets. Default 1wk. | |
| min_edge_pp | No | Minimum |edge| in percentage points to include (default 0.5). |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations indicate readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description adds valuable behavioral context: it uses external data sources (FRED, coinpaprika), groups by asset, computes model probabilities, and ranks by edge. This goes beyond the annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single dense paragraph that front-loads the main action. Every sentence provides essential information without redundancy. It is concise yet comprehensive.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Although there is no output schema, the description specifies what is returned (top N ranked by edge magnitude with suggested trade direction). It explains the model scope (V1 covers crypto-price bets) and the algorithmic steps. Completeness is high given the tool's complexity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with parameter descriptions. The tool description adds minimal extra meaning beyond the schema, but it does link parameters to the ranking algorithm (e.g., min_edge_pp is the edge threshold). Baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly specifies the action: scanning high-volume Polymarket markets, finding disagreements with Pipeworx data, and returning top N ranked by edge magnitude. It uses specific verbs and resources, and distinguishes from siblings like 'polymarket_arbitrage'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly states it is built for the 'what should I bet on today' question, providing clear context for when to use. It does not explicitly mention when not to use or alternatives, but the usage context is sufficiently clear.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
recallARead-onlyInspect
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.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| key | No | Memory key to retrieve (omit to list all keys) |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. Description adds behavioral context: scoping by identifier and behavior when key omitted. This exceeds the baseline for annotated tools.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, no redundant words. Front-loaded with action and resource. Every sentence adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity (one optional param, no output schema), the description covers retrieval, listing, scoping, and sibling interactions. No gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema covers 100% of the single parameter. Description adds value by explaining the effect of omitting the key (list all keys) and the purpose of the key, beyond schema description.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description explicitly states the tool retrieves a saved value or lists all keys, using a specific verb+resource combination. It distinguishes from siblings 'remember' and 'forget' by directly referencing them.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Provides clear when-to-use guidance with examples (target ticker, address) and scope details. Mentions alternative use cases (omit key to list all). No explicit when-not-to-use, but adequate for simple tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
recent_changesARead-onlyInspect
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.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| type | Yes | Entity type. Only "company" supported today. | |
| since | Yes | Window start — ISO date ("2026-04-01") or relative ("7d", "30d", "3m", "1y"). Use "30d" or "1m" for typical monitoring. | |
| value | Yes | Ticker (e.g., "AAPL") or zero-padded CIK (e.g., "0000320193"). |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations indicate readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, but the description adds significant context: it fans out to SEC EDGAR, GDELT, and USPTO in parallel, returns structured changes plus total_changes count and citation URIs. This explains the multi-source aggregation and output format beyond the annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is well-structured, starting with the core purpose and example queries, then detailing the fan-out and parameter specifics. It is concise yet informative, though it could be slightly more compressed without losing clarity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has 3 required parameters with full schema descriptions, annotations, and no output schema, the description covers all necessary context: input format, multi-source behavior, and output structure (changes + count + URIs). The agent has enough information to use the tool correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions for all parameters. The description adds value by explaining the accepted formats for 'since' (ISO date or relative shorthand) and recommending a default ('30d' or '1m'). It also clarifies that 'type' only supports 'company' and 'value' can be ticker or CIK, providing practical usage guidance.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'What's new with a company in the last N days/months?' It specifies the verb (get recent changes), resource (company), and scope (time window). It also provides example user queries that trigger this tool, effectively distinguishing it from siblings like entity_profile (static profile) and bet_research (research).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description gives explicit usage scenarios: user asks 'what's happening with X?', 'any updates on Y?', etc. It also explains the fan-out to multiple data sources. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use or list alternative siblings, so it's clear but lacks exclusion guidance.
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.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| key | Yes | Memory key (e.g., "subject_property", "target_ticker", "user_preference") | |
| value | Yes | Value to store (any text — findings, addresses, preferences, notes) |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Discloses key behavioral details beyond annotations: key-value pair storage, scoping by identifier, persistence differences (authenticated vs anonymous, 24-hour retention). 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Four sentences, front-loaded with purpose, then usage, behavioral details, and sibling references. No unnecessary words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Covers all needs for a memory storage tool: purpose, usage triggers, storage format, scoping, retention. No output schema needed—description sufficiently explains what happens.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Adds meaning beyond schema: example key conventions and that values can be any text. Schema coverage is 100%, so the description enriches understanding.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly specifies the verb 'save' and resource 'data to reuse later', and distinguishes from sibling tools like 'recall' and 'forget' by mentioning its complementary role.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly states when to use: 'when you discover something worth carrying forward' and references complementary tools 'recall' and 'forget', giving clear contextual guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
resolve_entityARead-onlyInspect
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.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| type | Yes | Entity type: "company" or "drug". | |
| value | Yes | For company: ticker (AAPL), CIK (0000320193), or name. For drug: brand or generic name (e.g., "ozempic", "metformin"). |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description confirms the read-only nature implied by annotations, adds context about returning IDs plus citation URIs, and explains the open-world aspect by listing multiple possible ID systems. 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Four sentences with no wasted words. Front-loaded with purpose, then usage guidance, then examples, then sequencing. Every sentence earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite no output schema, the description compensates by listing return elements (IDs plus citation URIs). It covers both entity types and all ID systems, providing enough context for an agent to invoke the tool correctly and interpret results.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, but the description adds significant meaning beyond the schema by explaining what values are acceptable for each parameter (e.g., 'For company: ticker (AAPL), CIK (0000320193), or name'). This helps an agent understand how to populate the parameters correctly.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it looks up canonical identifiers (CIK, ticker, RxCUI, LEI) for companies or drugs, using a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes itself from siblings by noting it replaces 2-3 lookup calls and should be used before other tools that need official identifiers.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly tells when to use the tool ('when a user mentions a name and you need the CIK...') and provides sequencing guidance ('Use this BEFORE calling other tools that need official identifiers'). Includes concrete examples with outputs, making the usage context very clear.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
session_calendarDRead-onlyInspect
Session calendar.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| term | No | ||
| year | No |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description adds no behavioral context beyond what annotations already declare (readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, destructiveHint). Annotations indicate it is a safe, read-only operation, but the description fails to disclose any specific behaviors such as what data is accessed, how pagination works, or any side effects.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
At two words, the description is severely underspecified. Conciseness is about being efficient yet informative; this provides zero useful information, wasting the opportunity to aid the agent.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With no output schema and a minimal description, the tool is completely opaque. An agent cannot know what data the calendar returns, any limits, or how to interpret results, making it unusable in practice.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
No parameter descriptions are present in the input schema (0% coverage), and the description does not explain the 'term' or 'year' parameters. An agent cannot infer that these likely refer to academic terms or years, leaving the usage ambiguous.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description 'Session calendar.' is a tautology that restates the tool name without a verb or resource. It provides no actionable information about what the tool does, making it impossible for an agent to distinguish from siblings like 'compare_entities' or 'discover_tools'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is given on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description is a mere label, offering no context about typical use cases or conditions that would lead an agent to select 'session_calendar' over other tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
validate_claimARead-onlyInspect
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).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| claim | Yes | Natural-language factual claim, e.g., "Apple's FY2024 revenue was $400 billion" or "Microsoft made about $100B in profit last year". |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations declare readOnlyHint=true, openWorldHint=true, destructiveHint=false. The description adds context about the tool being a composite that replaces multiple sequential steps, explains the verdict types, and specifies the source. No contradictions, and it enriches what annotations provide.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise (three sentences) with no superfluous words. Key information is front-loaded: purpose, usage trigger, capabilities, and output summary. Every sentence adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With a single parameter and no output schema, the description covers the tool's domain, sources, output verdict types, and efficiency. It lacks details on exact output format for 'percent delta' or handling unsupported claims, but overall it provides sufficient context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100% with a well-described 'claim' parameter. The description provides examples and format hints, but the schema already does this. Thus the description adds marginal value, meeting the baseline of 3.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool fact-checks natural-language claims against authoritative sources, specifying the domain (company financials via SEC EDGAR+XBRL). It uses specific verbs ('Fact-check, verify, validate, confirm/refute') and distinguishes from siblings by scoping to financial claims.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly says 'Use when an agent needs to check whether something a user said is true' and provides example queries. It also lists supported claim types, but lacks guidance on when to avoid using the tool (e.g., for non-financial claims) and does not mention alternative sibling tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
