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 5,798 tools across 1517 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.

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the annotations (read-only, idempotent), the description discloses that the tool fills arguments automatically, routes to a sub-tool, and returns citations via stable URIs. It warns that the tool already covers live news through news-feeds packs, which is a behavioral detail not visible in the schema or 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 long but dense with useful information, and it front-loads the strongest guidance ('PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH'). A small amount of redundancy remains in the repeated 'USE whenever' and 'START HERE' phrasing, but every section contributes to selection or invocation.

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 tool with no output schema, the description adequately explains the return format (structured answer with stable citation URIs) and the conditions that warrant using deep_research instead. It does not differentiate from the sibling variants ask_pipeworx_beta and ask_pipeworx_grounded, which is a minor completeness gap given those near-identical names.

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?

The schema already documents the `question` parameter and its aliases at 100% coverage, so the description adds value with natural-language trigger phrases and concrete example queries that clarify what makes a good question. It does not add constraints like length or format, but the examples and trigger phrases meaningfully supplement 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 states a specific verb and resource: it routes a natural-language question to the right one of 5,798 tools across 1,517 verified sources and returns a structured answer with pipeworx:// citation URIs. It clearly distinguishes itself from a generic web search by specifying the type of authoritative, structured data it handles, so an agent understands what this tool uniquely does.

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 to prefer this over web search, lists trigger phrases and example queries, and names the exact alternative (deep_research) for broad/multi-part questions. It also clarifies that breaking-news style questions are still routed through this tool, leaving little ambiguity about when to select it.

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

A3.9/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have distinct purposes, but several query tools (ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research, entity_profile, compare_entities, validate_claim) overlap in functionality, which could confuse an agent. The Polymarket and HUD subgroups are well-separated.

Naming Consistency3/5

Tool names use multiple styles: verb_noun (ask_pipeworx), prefixed groups (hud_*, polymarket_*, pipeworx_*), and standalone verbs (forget, recall). While subgroups are consistent, the overall set lacks a uniform pattern.

Tool Count3/5

With 35 tools, the server offers broad data and analytics capabilities. The count is on the high side but justified by the range of features (HUD, general queries, prediction markets, memory, subscriptions). Some tools are highly specialized.

Completeness4/5

The tool surface covers housing data, multi-source querying, prediction markets, memory, subscriptions, and meta-tools. Minor gaps exist (e.g., deeper user account management), but core workflows are well-supported.
