Discover Tools

discover_tools
Read-onlyIdempotent

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).

A4.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false. The description adds that results include full schemas with examples and are ready to call directly – disclosing return format and behavior beyond what annotations provide. 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.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loaded with main purpose, but slightly long due to listing many domains. Every sentence adds value, but could be tightened without losing information.

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 no output schema, the description explains return format (top-N tools with names, descriptions, schemas). All parameters documented. Complete for discovery task.

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 has 100% coverage with descriptions for all 6 parameters. The description clarifies that 'task', 'q', 'search', 'description' are all aliases for 'query', adding meaning beyond individual parameter descriptions.

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 starts with 'Find tools by describing the data or task' which is a specific verb+resource. It lists numerous domains and distinguishes this tool from siblings by focusing on tool discovery rather than performing specific tasks.

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 'Call this FIRST when you have many tools available and want to see the option set (not just one answer),' providing clear when-to-use guidance.

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
Disambiguation2/5

Many tools have overlapping purposes (e.g., three ask_pipeworx variants, multiple Polymarket analysis tools, and several entity-focused tools). Agents may struggle to select the correct tool for tasks like querying data or analyzing prediction markets.

Naming Consistency4/5

All tool names use snake_case, and most follow a verb_noun pattern (e.g., ask_pipeworx, compare_entities). A few names like ai_visibility_check are slightly less conventional, but overall the naming is consistent.

Tool Count3/5

With 32 tools covering a broad range of data services, the count is on the high side but still manageable. However, the server name 'Idf Events' is misleading, as only one tool relates to events in Paris.

Completeness4/5

The tool set covers core workflows for the Pipeworx platform: data querying, research, comparisons, subscriptions, memory, and feedback. Minor gaps exist, but most user needs are addressed.
