Ask Pipeworx

ask_pipeworx

Read-onlyIdempotent

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 5,908 tools across 1540 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". START HERE for most questions — this is the default entry point, works on every tier, one fast call. Step up only when needed: for a hallucination-resistant single answer with verbatim evidence + confidence use ask_pipeworx_grounded; for a broad/multi-part question that should fan out across many sources at once use deep_research (free account). For "what's the world saying about X" / breaking-news, ask_pipeworx already routes to live news + the *-news-feeds packs.

A4.5/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Beyond the readOnly/openWorld/idempotent annotations, the description discloses that the tool routes to one of 5,798 tools across 1,517 sources, fills arguments automatically, and returns structured answers with stable pipeworx:// citation URIs. It does not cover edge cases like ambiguous questions or rate limits, but the disclosure is materially useful.

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 dense but front-loaded with the key instruction ('PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH') and remains organized with domain list, trigger phrases, examples, and alternative routing. It is longer than average, but nearly every sentence carries selection-relevant information; only the final news-routing sentence is slightly redundant.

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 query-router tool with no output schema, the description covers the input style, the type of data sources, the citation-URI return behavior, and the main sibling alternatives. Missing details like pagination or failure behavior are not critical for selecting and invoking this tool.

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% and the question parameter is already described with aliases. The description adds semantic guidance on which natural-language questions are appropriate, with domain examples and trigger phrases, going beyond the schema's generic 'question or request'.

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 names a specific verb+resource: ask Pipeworx to answer factual questions with authoritative structured data and citations. It clearly distinguishes from ask_pipeworx_grounded and deep_research by naming exactly which tool to choose for grounded single answers vs broad multi-source research.

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 says 'PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH' and provides a concrete domain list plus query-pattern triggers ('what is', 'look up', 'find', 'get the latest', 'current'). It also states when not to use it: use ask_pipeworx_grounded for hallucination-resistant single answers with verbatim evidence, and deep_research for broad/multi-part questions.

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