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

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
textYesThe document text to search inside (max ~200K chars).
limitNoMax passages to return (1-20, default 5).
queryYesNatural-language query — what passages do you want? E.g. "supply-chain risk", "fiscal year 2024 revenue", "drug interactions with warfarin".

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Description adds significant behavioral details beyond annotations: embedding model (BGE-base-en), similarity metric (cosine), window size (500-char overlapping), character cap (200K chars with truncation flagging). Annotations already indicate readOnly and idempotent, which aligns with the described behavior.

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?

Five sentences, each earning its place. First sentence immediately states core purpose. No redundant information. Front-loaded with actionable guidance.

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?

Despite no output schema, description specifies return format (top-N passages with character offsets and similarity scores). Covers technical details (embedding, windowing, cap) and usage context. Complete for an effective search tool.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% and descriptions in schema are already detailed. The description repeats the character cap for 'text' and provides query examples identical to those in the schema, adding no new semantic meaning beyond what the schema provides.

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 clearly states the tool's purpose: semantic search inside a fetched record. It distinguishes from siblings by detailing when to use (when record is too big) and how it pairs with ask_pipeworx_grounded.

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 'Use when the record is too big to cram into the prompt' and provides a complementary tool (ask_pipeworx_grounded) for grounding over passages, offering clear guidance on when and how to use.

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

A3.8/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Several tools blur together: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, ask_pipeworx_grounded, and deep_research all answer factual questions with overlapping routing behavior, while polymarket_edges, polymarket_arbitrage, and bet_research all surface prediction-market opportunities. Long descriptions help, but the boundaries between these clusters are genuinely unclear, and the three IEEE tools are buried in a sea of unrelated Pipeworx tools.

Naming Consistency4/5

The naming is predominantly snake_case with clear family prefixes like ieee_, ask_pipeworx_, and polymarket_, and most tools follow a readable verb_noun or noun_verb shape. Minor deviations exist (remember/recall/forget, bet_research, pipeworx_trending) but there is no camelCase/mixed-convention problem, so the overall pattern is predictable.

Tool Count1/5

A server named 'Ieee Standards' exposes 34 tools, yet only three of them (ieee_search, ieee_standard_search, ieee_article) actually serve that domain. The remaining 31 tools form a general Pipeworx data, prediction-market, memory, and subscription platform, which is an extreme scope mismatch for the stated server purpose.

Completeness4/5

For the IEEE lookup domain, the three IEEE tools cover the core read-only workflow: broad corpus search, standards-specific search, and full metadata retrieval by article number or DOI. Minor gaps exist (browsing by committee, revision/status history, full-text access) but those are workable or inherently restricted by IEEE's paywall.
