Tool Definition Quality
Average 4.5/5 across 21 of 25 tools scored.
Most tools have distinct purposes (e.g., list_states vs. bet_research), but some overlap exists: ask_pipeworx can answer many of the same questions as other specific data tools, and compare_entities overlaps with entity_profile. Overall, confusion is minimal.
All names use snake_case, but the verb_prefix pattern varies (list_, lookup_, resolve_, etc.) and some tools are single words (forget, recall) or nouns (entity_profile). This inconsistency in pattern reduces predictability.
At 25 tools, the count is high, and the server name 'Ibge Br' suggests a narrow focus on Brazilian statistics, yet many tools cover unrelated domains (betting, memory, fact-checking). The scope is too broad for the implied niche.
For IBGE data, the server provides 6 tools covering aggregates, location hierarchy, and name frequency, which are basic but lack more granular or customizable queries. The unrelated tools do not fill this gap, leaving the IBGE coverage incomplete.
Available Tools
25 toolsaggregated_dataARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Pull official IBGE/SIDRA statistical series (inflation, GDP, population, etc.). Specify the aggregate table, variable, periods, and locality. Common examples: IPCA monthly inflation = aggregate "1737" variable "63"; population estimate = aggregate "6579" variable "9324". Returns time series keyed by period.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| periods | No | Periods: "-1" (latest), "-6" (last 6), or explicit like "202604" or "202601-202604". Default "-1". | |
| variable | Yes | Variable id within the aggregate, e.g. "63" (IPCA monthly variation %). Use "all" for every variable. | |
| aggregate | Yes | SIDRA aggregate (table) id, e.g. "1737" (IPCA) or "6579" (population estimate). Discover ids via list_aggregates. | |
| localities | No | Locality filter, e.g. "N1[all]" (Brazil), "N3[35]" (state SP), "N6[3550308]" (a municipality). Default "N1[all]". Brackets are auto-encoded. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint, and destructiveHint false, covering safety and idempotency. The description adds that it returns time series keyed by period, which is useful but not essential beyond annotations. 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?
Three sentences, no wasted words. The purpose is front-loaded, and key usage guidance is provided succinctly. Each 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?
Despite no output schema, the description states the return format ('time series keyed by period'), and the examples cover typical use cases. For a 4-parameter data query tool with high schema coverage, this is complete.
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%, so the schema already documents each parameter well. The description adds value by giving concrete examples for aggregate (e.g., '1737') and variable (e.g., '63'), and explains the periods format, enhancing the schema's meaning.
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 pulls official IBGE/SIDRA statistical series, specifies the exact parameters needed, and gives concrete examples (IPCA, population). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like list_aggregates by focusing on data retrieval rather than discovery.
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 to specify aggregate, variable, periods, and locality, and provides common usage examples. It mentions discovering ids via list_aggregates, indicating a prerequisite. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use this tool, leaving some ambiguity.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
ai_visibility_checkARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Probe one or more LLMs for what they know about a business / brand / product / topic and score visibility (0-100) per model. Default model is Workers AI Llama-3.3-70b (free); pass _apiKey to also probe Anthropic (BYO key — you pay Anthropic directly for those calls). Returns per-model {score, confidence, signals, raw_response} + a combined view. Useful for AI-marketing audits, pre-launch brand checks, competitive monitoring.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| entity | Yes | The thing to ask about. Brand/business name, product name, person, or topic. E.g. "Pipeworx", "OpenInvoice", "Acme Corp pricing". | |
| models | No | Which models to probe. Supported: "workers-ai" (free default), "anthropic" (requires _apiKey). Omit for just workers-ai. | |
| _apiKey | No | Optional Anthropic API key (sk-ant-...) — only needed if "anthropic" is in models. Passed straight through to api.anthropic.com. | |
| context | No | Optional: a phrase locating the entity (e.g. "Boston restaurant", "B2B SaaS"). Helps disambiguate common names. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare the tool as read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive. The description adds value by explaining the return format (per-model fields + combined view) and the cost implications (free default vs. BYO Anthropic key). 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 two sentences, each serving a distinct purpose: first defines the action and output, second adds pricing and structure details. No redundant information, front-loaded with key 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?
The description covers return values (per-model scores, confidence, etc.) and parameter usage for a 4-param tool without output schema. It lacks details on error handling or edge cases (e.g., unknown entity), but the open-world annotation implies graceful handling. Adequate for the 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% and parameter descriptions are thorough. The description adds only the default model hint, which slightly clarifies but doesn't significantly extend meaning. Baseline 3 is appropriate given high schema coverage.
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 specifies a clear action ('Probe one or more LLMs'), resource ('business / brand / product / topic'), and output ('score visibility 0-100 per model'). It distinguishes from siblings by focusing on visibility scoring across models, which is unique among tools like 'scan_competitor_ai_presence'.
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 use cases ('AI-marketing audits, pre-launch brand checks, competitive monitoring') and clarifies when to provide an API key for Anthropic. However, it does not mention when NOT to use or suggest alternative tools, leaving a minor gap.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
ask_pipeworxARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
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 2,902 tools across 633 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".
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| question | Yes | Your question or request in natural language |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive behavior. The description adds value by explaining the tool internally routes questions to appropriate sub-tools and returns structured answers with pipeworx:// citation URIs, which is not evident from annotations alone.
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 that front-loads the key message ('PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH'), then lists supported domains, explains the routing mechanism, and provides examples. It is well-structured and each sentence adds value, though it could be slightly more concise.
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 this is a simple single-parameter tool with no output schema, the description is remarkably complete. It covers purpose, usage, behavior (routing to sub-tools), output format (structured answer with citations), and provides extensive examples. It compensates for the lack of output schema by detailing the return value.
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?
The input schema fully describes the 'question' parameter with 100% coverage. The description enhances this by explaining that the question will be analyzed and routed to the correct internal tool, adding context about how the parameter is used beyond the schema's 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 routes questions to 2,866 tools across 623 verified sources and returns structured answers with stable citation URIs. It distinguishes itself from web search by explicitly saying 'PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH' and from sibling tools by positioning itself as the primary factual query router.
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: 'PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH' and 'Use whenever the user asks...' with a list of example queries. It covers a wide range of use cases but does not explicitly discuss when not to use the tool or compare it to specific sibling tools beyond the general preference.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
bet_researchARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
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, fans out to category-specific data packs in parallel, and returns an evidence packet + simple market-vs-model comparison. Use for "should I bet on X", "what does the data say about Y", or "is there edge in Z". CLASSIFIERS: crypto_price, fed_rate, geopolitical, sports, sports_championship, drug_approval, election_candidate, tech_launch, space_launch, corporate, corporate_earnings, corporate_event, public_figure_speech, weather, other. FAN-OUT EXAMPLES: BTC bet → coingecko + fred + gdelt+gnews; Fed bet → fred + kalshi_macro + federal_register; Hormuz bet → imf_portwatch + airspace + gdelt; Yankees WS → mlb_stats_standings + parent_event partition + news; NVDA-vs-AAPL → finnhub get_quote + edgar shares-outstanding (derived market cap) + edgar filings + news. RESPONSE SHAPES: result.market carries best_bid/best_ask/spread_pp/liquidity/price_change_1h/1d/1w; result.analysis carries model_probability/edge_pp/kelly_fraction_half when a closed-form model fires; result.evidence is keyed by source. SAFETY: low-confidence resolutions short-circuit with status:"low_confidence_match" and suppress analysis fields so agents can't accidentally size on phantom matches. Closed/dead markets return status:"market_closed_or_inactive" and skip fan-out. Wide-spread markets (>10pp) carry tradeability:"illiquid_wide_spread" + an explanatory note.
| 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?") | |
| include_raw | No | Default false. When false (recommended), FRED/FDA/GDELT/Federal-Register evidence is summarized to the few fields agents actually use — keeps responses under ~20KB. Pass true to get full upstream payloads (50KB-500KB) when you need to recompute deltas, cite specific observations, or post-process. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Beyond the annotations (readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, etc.), the description provides extensive behavioral context: it explains the fan-out process, response shapes (result.market, result.analysis, result.evidence), safety mechanisms (low-confidence short-circuit, closed market skip, illiquidity warning), and status codes. This goes far beyond what annotations alone convey, fully informing the agent of the tool's actions and constraints.
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 relatively long but well-structured with capitalized sections (CLASSIFIERS, FAN-OUT EXAMPLES, RESPONSE SHAPES, SAFETY) that make it easy to scan. Every sentence provides useful information without redundancy. Slight verbosity in fan-out examples could be trimmed, but overall it earns its length.
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 thoroughly explains the response structure and possibilities (market, analysis, evidence). It covers edge cases like low-confidence matches, closed markets, and wide spreads, and provides safety instructions. The agent has enough context to use the tool correctly without additional assumptions.
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?
The input schema has 100% coverage with descriptions, but the tool description adds significant value by providing examples, explaining the depth parameter options ('quick' vs 'thorough' defaults), and detailing the include_raw parameter's impact on response size. This extra context helps the agent choose appropriate parameter values, justifying a score above 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's purpose: 'Research a Polymarket bet by pulling the relevant Pipeworx data for it in one call.' It specifies the input types (slug, URL, question text) and provides examples, making it easy to understand what the tool does. The mention of classifiers and fan-out examples further clarifies the scope, distinguishing it from sibling tools like polymarket_edges that focus on specific calculations.
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 recommends using the tool for scenarios like 'should I bet on X' and 'what does the data say about Y'. It also explains safety behaviors (low-confidence resolution, closed markets) that help the agent decide when to use it. However, it does not directly contrast with sibling tools or specify when NOT to use it, though the context implies it's for general research.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
compare_entitiesARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Compare 2-5 companies (or drugs) side by side in one call. Use for "compare X and Y", "X vs Y", "which is bigger", or rank-by-metric questions. type="company" — pulls LATEST 10-K revenue + net income + cash + long-term debt from SEC EDGAR/XBRL (post-Run-6 fix: returns the actual most-recent FY filing per concept, not arbitrarily-old data; off-calendar fiscal years like AAPL Sep, NVDA Jan handled correctly). type="drug" — pulls adverse-event report counts from FAERS, FDA approval counts, active trial counts. Returns paired data + pipeworx:// citation URIs per entity. Replaces 8-15 sequential lookups; results are sorted by the primary metric (revenue for company, adverse events for drug) so "largest" / "most" reads off the top of the response.
| 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 already indicate readOnly, openWorld, idempotent, non-destructive. The description adds data sources (SEC EDGAR/XBRL for companies, FAERS/FDA for drugs) and explains the fix for fiscal year handling, 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?
The description is well-structured, beginning with the core purpose, then enumerating per-type behavior, and ending with benefits. Every sentence adds value; no redundant or filler content.
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 explains return format (paired data with citation URIs) and sorting behavior. It covers all necessary invocation details, making the tool self-contained for 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 coverage is 100%, and the description adds meaningful context: for 'type' it explains data fetched per type, for 'values' it provides examples (tickers/CIKs, drug names) and constraints (2-5 items).
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 compares 2-5 companies or drugs side by side. It uses a specific verb and resource, and distinguishes itself from siblings by noting it replaces 8-15 sequential lookups.
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: for comparison queries like 'compare X and Y', 'X vs Y', 'which is bigger', or rank-by-metric. Details per entity type and mentions sorted results, providing clear context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
discover_toolsARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
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, and full input schemas (with curated examples) — each result is ready to call directly, no second schema lookup needed. 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 declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is clear. The description adds that the tool returns full schemas and examples, but no additional behavioral traits like rate limits or auth requirements are disclosed.
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 but informative, front-loading purpose and usage. It could be slightly tighter, but each 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 (2 parameters, no output schema), the description fully covers what the tool does, when to use it, and what it returns, leaving 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 description coverage is 100%, so the input schema already documents both parameters. The description implies the 'limit' parameter by mentioning 'top-N most relevant tools', but adds no new semantics beyond what the schema provides.
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 domains like SEC filings, FDA drugs, etc. It distinguishes from siblings by advising to call this FIRST when many tools are available.
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?

Description clearly states the tool generates an llms.txt file for a URL, with specific verb and resource. It differentiates from sibling tools like scan_competitor_ai_presence by focusing on file generation rather than scanning.
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 use cases (client indexing, drafting, auditing) and describes the process. However, does not explicitly state when not to use or compare to siblings.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_aggregatesARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Browse the catalog of IBGE/SIDRA aggregate tables grouped by subject (inflation, agriculture, demographics, etc.). Use to discover aggregate ids to pass to aggregated_data. Optionally filter by research/subject acronym.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| acronym | No | Optional research acronym to filter by, e.g. "PNAD", "IPCA". Omit to list everything. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint and idempotentHint, so the description doesn't need to restate those. The description adds value by explaining that the tool lists tables grouped by subject and supports optional filtering by acronym. This enriches the agent's understanding of what the tool does 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 remarkably concise: two sentences that convey the tool's purpose, usage, and optional functionality. Every sentence adds value with no redundant or extraneous information. It is front-loaded with the main 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 low complexity (one optional parameter, no output schema, annotations present), the description is mostly complete. It explains the tool's role in the workflow (discovery for aggregated_data) and its filtering capability. However, it could mention that the output is a list of aggregate tables with IDs and subjects, but this is implied by 'browse the catalog'.
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% for the single parameter 'acronym', which already has a description. The tool description adds further meaning by explaining that the acronym filters by research/subject and providing examples like 'PNAD' and 'IPCA'. This helps the agent understand the parameter's usage 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 the tool's purpose: browsing the catalog of IBGE/SIDRA aggregate tables grouped by subject. It specifies the action ('Browse'), the resource ('aggregate tables'), and the purpose ('discover aggregate ids to pass to aggregated_data'). This effectively differentiates it from sibling tools like aggregated_data, which uses the ids.
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 tells when to use this tool: to discover aggregate ids for later use with aggregated_data. It also mentions an optional filter by acronym. While it does not explicitly state when not to use it, the context is clear and the guidance is sufficient for an AI agent to decide.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

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?
Three sentences, front-loaded with the main purpose. Every sentence serves a clear role: stating the function, describing optional filters, and noting the special case. No wasted 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?
The description covers parameters and basic usage but omits details about the output structure, which is important since there is no output schema. The agent lacks information on what the response looks like (e.g., frequency by decade as a list or object).
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 the description adds value by explaining the 'ranking' special value for the name parameter and providing examples for locality (e.g., '33' for RJ). This goes beyond the schema documentation.
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 provides Brazilian census name statistics, with specific actions: get frequency for a first name or get top names via 'ranking'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like list_municipalities, which deal with different data.
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?

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?
The description discloses rate limits ('5 per identifier per day'), cost ('free'), quota impact ('doesn't count against your tool-call quota'), and how feedback is processed ('team reads digests daily and signal directly affects roadmap'). These details go beyond what annotations provide and are critical for appropriate use.
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?

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?
The input schema already covers all three parameters with descriptions and enums (100% coverage). The description adds value by emphasizing not to paste the end-user prompt, which clarifies expected message structure. While helpful, this is not essential for schema 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?
The description clearly states the purpose: sending feedback to the Pipeworx team about bugs, feature requests, data gaps, or praise. It uses a specific verb ('Tell') and resource ('Pipeworx team'), and distinguishes itself from sibling tools by being the only feedback channel.
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 lists when to use the tool ('when a tool returns wrong/stale data', 'when a tool you wish existed isn't in the catalog', 'when something worked surprisingly well') and provides clear guidance on how to structure the message (describe in terms of Pipeworx tools/packs, avoid pasting end-user prompts).
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
pipeworx_trendingARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
What other AI agents are calling on Pipeworx right now. Returns the top tools, top packs, and total call volume over a recent window (24h, 7d, or 30d). Useful for: (1) discovering what data sources are hot for current events, (2) confirming a popular tool is the canonical choice before asking your own question, (3) seeing whether your use case aligns with what most agents need. Self-aggregating signal — derived from CF analytics-engine, no PII, just (pack, tool, count). Cached 5min-1h depending on window.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| window | No | 24h (default) | 7d | 30d. Shorter windows surface what's hot right now; longer windows show steady-state demand. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate read-only, open-world, idempotent, non-destructive behavior. The description adds valuable context: derived from CF analytics engine, no PII, caching duration (5min-1h). 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 well-structured with a lead sentence followed by bullet points. It is informative without being verbose, though the bullet points could be slightly tightened.
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 simple parameter set, sufficient annotations, and explicit mention of return shape ('just (pack, tool, count)'), the description provides complete 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?
The single parameter 'window' has an enum and description in the schema. The description adds meaning by explaining the trade-off: shorter windows surface hot trends, longer show steady-state demand.
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 returns 'top tools, top packs, and total call volume' over a recent window, which is a specific verb+resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools by focusing on what other AI agents are using, rather than listing all tools or entities.
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?
It explicitly lists three use cases: discovering hot data sources, confirming canonical choice, and seeing alignment with agent needs. While it doesn't specify when not to use or alternatives, the context is clear enough for selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
polymarket_arbitrageARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Find arbitrage opportunities on Polymarket via monotonicity violations + partition-sum checks. TWO MODES: (1) event — pass a single Polymarket event slug; walks child markets, checks date-axis / threshold-axis ordering AND computes the partition_check (sum of YES prices across mutually-exclusive legs — should ≈1; deviations >3pp emit a BUY/SELL EVERY LEG signal). (2) topic — pass a seed question ("Strait of Hormuz traffic returns to normal"); searches related events across the platform, flattens markets, runs the comparator on the union. Cross-event mode catches "...by May 31" vs "...by Jun 30" patterns that single-event misses. SEMANTIC ANCHOR: cross-event pairs require ≥0.30 Jaccard similarity on question tokens (prevents Powell-Fed-Pause being paired with Powell-DOJ-probe); skipped_low_similarity surfaces the rejected pair count. PARTITION FILTER: drops will-person-X / will-manager-Y / will-someone-else- placeholder slugs; partitions with >20% placeholder fraction return null arb signal. Response carries opportunities[] (gap_pp, suggested_trade, reasoning) plus partition_check when in event mode (with placeholders_filtered count).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true. The description adds rich internal details: monotonicity checks, partition-sum validation with a 3pp threshold, Jaccard similarity filtering, and placeholder handling. There is no contradiction with annotations, and the description significantly enhances transparency.
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 verbose and contains detailed algorithmic steps (e.g., Jaccard threshold, placeholder fraction). While informative, it could be more concise by omitting minor implementation details. The structure is clear with mode breakdown, but length slightly detracts.
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 complexity of the tool and no output schema, the description comprehensively covers return values (opportunities array with gap_pp, suggested_trade, reasoning, partition_check) and edge cases. All key aspects are explained, making it self-sufficient for correct invocation.
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 each parameter described. The description adds value by explaining that 'event' accepts slug or full URL and that 'topic' triggers cross-event search with comparator logic. This enriches the schema information without redundancy.
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 specifies the tool's purpose: finding arbitrage opportunities on Polymarket via monotonicity violations and partition-sum checks. It clearly distinguishes two modes (event and topic), and unlike siblings like polymarket_edges or polymarket_kalshi_spread, this tool focuses on cross-market arbitrage detection.
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 explains when to use each mode: 'event' for a single event slug and 'topic' for cross-event searches. It also notes that cross-event mode catches patterns single-event misses, providing context but not explicit when-not-to-use scenarios. Overall, it offers sufficient guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
polymarket_edgesARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Scan top Polymarket markets and return opportunities where Pipeworx data disagrees with market price. Built for "what should I bet on today" — agents discover opportunities without paging hundreds of markets. FIVE MODEL FAMILIES grouped into three response segments under by_segment: (1) MODEL_DRIVEN — crypto_price (lognormal barrier from 90d FRED log-returns) and news_momentum (GDELT 7d/21d article-volume ratio, soft signal w/ halved Kelly). (2) STRUCTURAL_ARBITRAGE — partition_overround on mutually-exclusive events; per-leg favorite-longshot bias correction with per-sport α (tennis 1.02, soccer 1.10, MMA 1.15, default 1.0); placeholder-slug filter drops will-person-X / will-team-Y / will-manager-Z / will-someone-else- backstops; partitions with >20% placeholder fraction skipped entirely. (3) CONCENTRATED_LONGSHOT — basket trade when one leg ≥85% AND ≥2 longshots ≤5% AND portfolio return ≥50:1; rare-by-design. EVERY OPPORTUNITY carries edge_pp_net (after slippage), kelly_fraction + kelly_fraction_half (capped at 0.25), market.liquidity, market.spread_pp, market.volume. TRADEABLE-EDGE KNOBS: min_liquidity / max_spread_pp drop opportunities where edge isn't realizable; min_partition_leg_kelly filters partitions by best per-leg Kelly. Cached 1h at the KV level keyed on all knobs. fed_rate bets are scanned but EXCLUDED from ranking (1m-T vs EFFR signal is unreliable at meeting-month horizons without paid OIS/SOFR-futures data); see fed_rate_context for raw spread.
| 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_kelly | No | Minimum half-Kelly fraction (as decimal, e.g. 0.005 = 0.5% of bankroll) to include single-leg opportunities. Default 0 (no filter). Skips opportunities that are too small to bet sensibly even if the edge is large. | |
| min_edge_pp | No | Minimum |edge| in percentage points to include (default 0.5). Edge is evaluated NET of slippage. | |
| slippage_pp | No | Assumed execution slippage in percentage points per leg (default 0.3). Subtracted from raw |edge| before ranking and Kelly sizing. Polymarket has zero trading fees as of 2024 but bid/ask + thin depth typically eats 20-50bp per trade. Bump for very thin partitions; drop to 0 if you have a smarter fill model. | |
| max_spread_pp | No | Tradeable-edge filter. Maximum bid/ask spread in percentage points on the representative market. Default null (no filter). Set to 2 to require tight books — anything wider eats most plausible edges. | |
| min_liquidity | No | Tradeable-edge filter. Minimum $ liquidity on the representative market (or for partition_overround, on at least one top_leg). Default 0 (no filter). Set to 5000 to drop thin-book opportunities where executing the edge would walk the book past breakeven. | |
| category_filter | No | Comma-separated list to restrict the output: "model_driven" (crypto_price + news_momentum), "structural_arbitrage" (partition_overround), "concentrated_longshot". Combine like "model_driven,structural_arbitrage". Default: all. | |
| min_partition_leg_kelly | No | Minimum BEST per-leg half-Kelly fraction across a partition_overround opportunity's top_legs (or longshot_basket legs). Default 0 (no filter). Partition arbs always return kelly_fraction_half=0 at the parent level by design (basket trades don't compose to single-leg Kelly), so min_kelly never filters them — this knob applies to the per-leg Kelly inside top_legs instead. Use to suppress thin partitions whose individual leg edges aren't worth the per-leg slippage cost. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate safe read-only operation, but description adds caching behavior (cached 1h at KV level keyed on all knobs), exclusion of fed_rate bets from ranking, and detailed explanation of how segments and knobs affect results. 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?
Long but efficient: front-loads purpose, then groups details by segment and knobs. Every section adds necessary context. Minor redundancy (e.g., knobs repeated later), but overall 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?
Very complete for a complex tool: explains three model families, caching, exclusions, all 9 parameters, and what opportunities carry (edge_pp_net, kelly_fraction, etc.). No output schema, but return fields are described in text. Covers all aspects an agent needs.
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 has 100% description coverage for 9 parameters, but description adds narrative context: explains how min_liquidity, max_spread_pp act as tradeable-edge filters, and clarifies min_partition_leg_kelly's role for partition overround. Adds value beyond schema definitions.
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 specifies verb 'scan', resource 'top Polymarket markets', and outcome 'return opportunities where Pipeworx data disagrees with market price'. Clearly distinguishes from siblings like polymarket_arbitrage by focusing on Pipeworx disagreement and unique segment types.
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 'Built for "what should I bet on today"' and mentions agents can discover without paging. Notes fed_rate bets are excluded from ranking due to unreliable signal. Lacks explicit when-not-to-use vs alternatives, but provides clear context on tradeable-edge knobs.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
polymarket_kalshi_spreadARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Cross-venue spread between Kalshi and Polymarket for the same resolving question. Kalshi and Polymarket frequently price the same event 2-25pp apart because the venues have different participant pools — that delta is a real arb signal. TWO MODES: (1) topic — pre-mapped macro shortcuts ("fed", "btc", "cpi", "gdp", "sp500", "recession", "next_pope") that auto-fetch the matching event on each venue. (2) explicit kalshi_event_ticker + polymarket_event_slug for custom pairings. Returns: each venue's leg-by-leg prices (in raw probability, 0-1), and where a leg from each side maps to the same outcome, the spread (Kalshi − Polymarket) in percentage points.

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is clear. The description adds that it returns prices and spreads in 0-1 and percentage points. No extra behavioral traits (rate limits, auth) are needed given 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 front-loaded with purpose and modes, but the second paragraph could be slightly more concise. Still, it's well-structured and every sentence contributes 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 complexity (2 modes, 3 params, no output schema), the description covers return format and usage context. It lacks some details like precise spread calculation, but is sufficient for an agent to understand what to expect.
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?
The input schema already describes each parameter. The description adds meaning by explaining the two modes and how parameters override each other, providing context beyond the schema's basic descriptions.
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 as a cross-venue spread calculator between Kalshi and Polymarket, with two distinct modes (topic shortcuts and explicit ticker pairs). It distinguishes itself from siblings like polymarket_arbitrage by focusing on inter-venue 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 explains when to use each mode (pre-mapped topics vs. explicit tickers) and the rationale (real arbitrage signal). However, it does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or compare it to alternatives like compare_entities.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
recallARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
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?
Disclosures beyond annotations: scoped to identifier, pairing with remember/forget. Annotations already indicate read-only and idempotent, description adds value with scoping and pairing 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?
Three sentences, no wasted words. Purpose stated first, followed by usage context and scoping. Efficient 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?
For a simple key-value retrieval with no output schema, the description covers functionality (get by key, list all), scoping, and pairing with siblings. Completely adequate for agent understanding.
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 has 100% coverage on one parameter. Description adds meaning that omitting key lists all keys, which is not in schema description. Provides examples showing both use cases.
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 clearly states it retrieves a value saved via remember or lists all keys when omitted. Distinguishes from siblings like remember and forget, and specifies the context of previously stored data.
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 guidance on when to use (look up context stored earlier) and implies not for other purposes. Mentions scoping to identifier, but does not explicitly list alternative tools for other use cases.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
recent_changesARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
What's new with a company in the last N days/months? Use for "what's happening with X", "updates on Y", "news on Apple this month", or change-monitoring. Fans out in parallel to: SEC EDGAR (filings since since), GDELT→GNews fallback (news mentions in window — GDELT preferred, GNews when rate-limited or 5xx), USPTO (patents granted; PatentsView API sunset May 2025 so this soft-fails until reactivated). since accepts ISO date ("2026-04-01") or relative shorthand ("7d", "30d", "3m", "1y"). Returns structured changes[] grouped by source + total_changes count + pipeworx:// citation URIs. Use entity_profile instead when you want the static profile (filings + fundamentals + LEI + patents) regardless of window.
| 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 already indicate a safe, read-only, idempotent operation. The description adds valuable behavioral details: parallel fan-out to SEC EDGAR, GDELT→GNews fallback, USPTO soft-fail, and output structure (grouped changes, total count, 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 efficiently packs a lot of information. It is front-loaded with purpose and examples. While slightly lengthy, every sentence adds value. Minor improvement could be structuring into bullet points for clarity, but overall it is effective.
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 (multiple sources, parallel execution, fallback logic) and no output schema, the description covers essential aspects: input parameters, behavior, output structure, and comparisons. It could mention error handling or all-source failure scenarios, but it is largely complete for 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?
While schema coverage is 100%, the description enriches parameters with examples ('since' for ISO dates and relative shorthands like '7d', '30d'), default suggestions ('Use 30d or 1m'), and clarifications ('value' can be ticker or CIK). This goes beyond the schema's base descriptions.
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: retrieving recent changes for a company over a specified period. It uses specific verbs ('What's new') and resource ('company'), and provides example queries. It distinguishes itself from the sibling tool 'entity_profile' by explicitly contrasting use cases.
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 the tool ('what's happening with X') and when to use an alternative ('Use entity_profile instead for static profile'). It also describes the tool's multi-source fan-out logic and fallback behavior, aiding correct invocation.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
rememberAIdempotentInspect
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?
Annotations indicate idempotentHint true and destructiveHint false. Description adds persistence details (authenticated vs anonymous) without contradicting 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?
Single paragraph, no wasted words. Front-loaded with purpose. Could be slightly more structured but impactful.
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 key-value store with no output schema and 2 params, description covers purpose, usage, persistence, and pairing. Fully complete.
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 both parameters with descriptions (key and value). Description reinforces but does not significantly add beyond schema. Baseline 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?
Description specifies the tool's function (save data for reuse), provides concrete examples (resolved ticker, target address), and distinguishes from siblings (recall, forget) by mentioning 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?
Explicitly states when to use (discover something worth carrying forward) and how to pair with recall and forget. Also notes scoping by identifier and session duration.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
resolve_entityARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Resolve a user-spoken name to the canonical/official identifiers other tools require as input. Use FIRST when you have a name but need an ID. SUPPORTED TYPES: "company" (returns ticker + 10-digit CIK + company_name from SEC EDGAR + pipeworx://edgar/company/{cik} citation URI; accepts ticker, CIK, or company name as input — auto-disambiguated), "drug" (returns RxCUI + ingredient + brand from RxNorm + pipeworx://rxnorm/{rxcui} citation; accepts brand or generic name). Each call cascades through several lookup endpoints internally — using resolve_entity replaces 2-3 manual lookups.
| 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?
Annotations already indicate read-only, open-world, idempotent, and non-destructive behavior. The description adds that each call cascades through multiple endpoints internally, revealing compound nature and efficiency gain, which goes 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 plus a bullet-like list of supported types. Front-loaded with primary purpose; every sentence contributes meaningful information 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?
Completely covers the two supported entity types with input and output details. Mentions internal cascading and citation URIs, which compensates for lack of output schema. Could mention error handling or rate limits, but given tool simplicity, it is quite complete.
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 has 100% coverage with descriptions for both parameters. The description adds substantial semantic value: for company type, input can be ticker, CIK, or name with auto-disambiguation; for drug, input is brand or generic name. It also explains return values (e.g., ticker + CIK for company, RxCUI + ingredient for drug).
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 clearly states the tool resolves user-spoken names to canonical identifiers, with specific verb 'resolve' and resource 'names to identifiers.' Supported types and their outputs are detailed, and the tool's role is distinct from siblings like entity_profile or compare_entities.
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 advises 'Use FIRST when you have a name but need an ID,' providing clear usage context. It also notes that the tool replaces manual lookups, but does not explicitly contrast with alternatives beyond that.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
scan_competitor_ai_presenceARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Compare AI visibility across multiple entities side-by-side. Probes each entity (your brand + N competitors) with ai_visibility_check, ranks by score, surfaces which is most/least recognized. Useful for competitive AI-marketing audits: "does Claude know about us as well as our competitors?". Returns ranked list with score, confidence, signal density per entity.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| models | No | Which models to probe. Supported: "workers-ai" (free default), "anthropic" (requires _apiKey). Omit for just workers-ai. | |
| _apiKey | No | Optional Anthropic API key — only if "anthropic" is in models. Passed to api.anthropic.com per probe. | |
| context | No | Optional shared context applied to every probe (e.g. "B2B SaaS", "Boston restaurant"). Disambiguates common names. | |
| entities | Yes | Array of 2-8 entities to compare (brand/business/product names). First entry treated as the "subject" for narrative; rest are competitors. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate read-only, idempotent, non-destructive behavior. The description adds valuable behavioral context: it 'Probes each entity with ai_visibility_check', treats the first entity as the subject, and details return fields (score, confidence, signal density). 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?
Three concise sentences with the core action front-loaded. Every sentence adds value: action, method, use case, and output description. No redundant or unnecessary wording.
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 tool with no output schema, the description adequately covers return format ('ranked list with score, confidence, signal density per entity') and behavior (treats first as subject, probes each with ai_visibility_check). Given the tool's moderate complexity and rich annotations, no additional information is needed.
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?
All 4 parameters have schema descriptions (100% coverage). The description adds meaning beyond schema: it clarifies that 'entities' must be 2-8 with first as subject, 'models' default to workers-ai, '_apiKey' only needed for anthropic, and 'context' disambiguates common names. This reduces ambiguity for the AI agent.
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: 'Compare AI visibility across multiple entities side-by-side.' It specifies a specific verb ('compare'), a clear resource ('AI visibility'), and scope ('multiple entities'), strongly distinguishing it from sibling tools like ai_visibility_check (single entity) and compare_entities (generic comparison).
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 usage context: 'Useful for competitive AI-marketing audits' and gives a concrete example ('does Claude know about us as well as our competitors?'). However, it does not explicitly mention when not to use or suggest alternative tools, though the sibling context makes that inferable.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
validate_claimARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
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 already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint. The description adds significant context: data source (SEC EDGAR + XBRL), return types (verdict with multiple possible values, structured form, actual value with citation, percent delta), and performance benefit (replaces 4–6 sequential calls). 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: one paragraph of about 5 sentences, front-loading purpose and usage, then providing behavioral details. Every sentence contributes value 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?
Given no output schema, the description fully explains return values (verdict, structured form, actual value, citation, percent delta) and scope limitations (v1 supports company-financial claims). This is complete for a single-parameter 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% for the single parameter 'claim', and its description in the schema includes examples. The overall tool description adds some extra examples and context about supported claim types, but the schema already provides adequate meaning. Baseline 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 uses strong verbs like 'fact-check', 'verify', 'validate', and clearly identifies the resource as 'natural-language factual claim or statement against authoritative sources'. It distinguishes from siblings by focusing on claim verification, which none of the sibling tools directly address. Examples and return types are provided.
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 when to use ('when an agent needs to check whether something a user said is true') and provides example queries. It does not explicitly state when not to use or mention alternatives, but the context is clear enough given the sibling list and the tool's scope.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
