Search Within a Source

search_within
Read-onlyIdempotent

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

Input Schema

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

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Discloses technical details beyond annotations: uses BGE-base-en embeddings, cosine similarity, 500-char overlapping windows, 200K char cap with truncation flagged. Annotations already indicate read-only and idempotent; description adds significant behavioral context.

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 a single coherent paragraph but contains multiple valuable statements. Front-loads the core purpose, then usage, then technical details. Could be slightly more structured, but every sentence contributes 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?

Despite no output schema, the description explains return values (passages with offsets and similarity scores). Covers limitations (char cap, truncation) and embedding technique, providing a complete picture for an agent to use the tool effectively.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema covers 100% of parameters with descriptions. Description adds examples for query and clarifies limits for text and limit parameters, providing extra practical guidance beyond the schema.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states the tool's function: semantic search inside a fetched record. It gives concrete examples (SEC 10-K, article) and distinguishes itself from sibling tools like ask_pipeworx by focusing on searching within an already-fetched text.

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 when to use: when the record is too large for the prompt. Provides a pairing with ask_pipeworx_grounded for grounding over passages. Implies when not to use (small records can be directly included).

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

A3.8/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Several tools are near-duplicates: ask_pipeworx_beta is explicitly identical to ask_pipeworx, and discover_tools/suggest_questions plus entity_profile/recent_changes/compare_entities/validate_claim overlap in purpose. An agent selecting among the five ask/deep-research variants or six Polymarket tools will frequently need to read lengthy descriptions to avoid picking the wrong one.

Naming Consistency3/5

Most names are readable snake_case and clear verb_noun phrases like search_articles, resolve_entity, and validate_claim, with helpful families like polymarket_* and timeline_*. However, several tools are bare noun phrases (entity_profile, recent_alerts, pipeworx_trending, tone_distribution), and the memory trio (remember/recall/forget) breaks the domain-prefix pattern.

Tool Count2/5

35 tools is past the 25+ threshold and feels bloated for a server nominally about GDELT; much of the surface is meta/utility tooling (diagnostics, memory, discovery, subscriptions) rather than core news retrieval. Several tools could be consolidated, such as ask_pipeworx_beta and the multiple Polymarket edge/arb/research variants.

Completeness4/5

For its broad data/news/prediction-market scope, the surface is quite complete: GDELT search, volume, tone, and distribution are covered, along with entity resolution, company profiles, comparisons, claim verification, and trade-side analytics. Minor gaps exist, such as no full-text article fetch or direct GDELT raw-event export, but agents can mostly work around them.
