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

A4.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations indicate readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive. Description adds truncation behavior (200K char cap flagged), embedding model (BGE-base-en), similarity method (cosine), window size (500-char overlapping), and that offsets are returned. No contradictions. Lacks details on rate limits or auth, but sufficient.

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?

Three sentences: each earns its place. Front-loaded with core capability, then usage benefits, then technical details. No redundancy or filler. Perfectly concise.

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 3 params, no output schema, and annotations present, the description covers all necessary aspects: usage, behavior, limitations, pairing, and technical details. Nothing missing for an agent to use this 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 all 3 parameters with descriptions. The description adds practical context: 'Pass the text you already pulled' for the text parameter, natural-language query examples for query, and the limit range (1-20). This enhances understanding beyond schema alone.

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 specifies 'semantic search INSIDE a fetched record', giving concrete examples (SEC 10-K, article) and a distinguishing pairing with sibling ask_pipeworx_grounded. The verb 'search' and resource 'fetched record' are clear, and the tool's niche is well-defined.

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: 'Use when the record is too big to cram into the prompt — search_within saves context'. Also provides guidance on pairing: 'Pairs with ask_pipeworx_grounded'. This clearly delineates from alternatives.

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

A3.6/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Several tool clusters have genuinely blurry boundaries: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta (explicitly 'currently matches ask_pipeworx exactly'), ask_pipeworx_grounded, and deep_research all route questions to the same 5,743-tool catalog, and the six Polymarket tools (bet_research, polymarket_edges, polymarket_arbitrage, polymarket_edge_tracker, polymarket_fill_risk, polymarket_kalshi_spread) heavily overlap on 'should I bet / where is the edge'. The descriptions are detailed and cross-reference each other, but an agent would still struggle to pick correctly among near-duplicates.

Naming Consistency3/5

Everything is uniformly snake_case and readable, but there is no consistent verb_noun pattern: verb_noun (resolve_entity, discover_tools, validate_claim) mixes with noun_noun (domain_search, entity_profile, polymarket_arbitrage), adjective_noun (deep_research, recent_changes), bare verbs (forget, recall, remember), and brand prefixes (pipeworx_*, ask_pipeworx_*). Readable, but patternless.

Tool Count2/5

34 tools is well above the heavy threshold, but the bigger issue is scope incoherence: a server named 'Hunter' dedicates only 3 of 34 tools to Hunter.io email lookup while the remaining 31 belong to an unrelated Pipeworx data-research/prediction-market platform. The count is not earned by a single coherent purpose.

Completeness3/5

The Pipeworx research core is quite thorough: entity resolution, single-lookup, grounded answers, deep research, profiles, comparisons, claim validation, semantic search-within-records, change feeds, subscriptions, and memory form a full research lifecycle. However, the domain is a grab-bag spanning email finding, npm dependency checking, prediction markets, and data research, and the three Hunter.io tools that match the server name are only a thin fragment of the surface.
