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).

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false. The description adds behavioral context by stating that the tool returns top-N relevant tools with schemas and examples, and that each result is ready to call directly. 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.

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is well-structured and front-loaded with the main purpose. It includes multiple sentences but each adds value: purpose, use cases, return behavior, and guidance. It could be slightly more concise, but the structure supports readability.

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 thoroughly explains what is returned: 'top-N most relevant tools with names, descriptions, and full input schemas (with curated examples).' Combined with the exhaustive parameter documentation in the schema, the agent has complete information to use the tool effectively.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description does not add substantial meaning beyond the schema; it provides example queries but the schema already describes parameters as natural language descriptions. The description's examples are supplementary but not necessary.

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 'Find tools by describing the data or task' and specifies the tool's purpose of browsing, searching, and discovering tools. It lists numerous example domains (SEC filings, financials, etc.) and explains that it returns top-N tools with schemas ready to call, distinguishing it from other tools.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description explicitly advises to 'Call this FIRST when you have many tools available and want to see the option set (not just one answer).' It also enumerates specific use cases (e.g., 'Use when you need to browse...') but does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternatives.

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
Disambiguation3/5

Most tools have detailed, carve-out descriptions, but ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, and ask_pipeworx_grounded share the same routing core, with the beta version currently identical to the stable one. The Polymarket and company-research clusters are better differentiated, but the number of overlapping research/query entry points still creates real selection risk.

Naming Consistency3/5

The set is consistently snake_case and has coherent prefixes like ask_pipeworx_ and polymarket_, but it mixes verb_noun names (resolve_entity, scan_dependency, discover_tools) with noun-phrase names (entity_profile, bet_research, recent_changes) and one-word verbs (remember, recall, forget). The naming is readable but does not follow one predictable pattern.

Tool Count2/5

With 32 tools, the server exceeds the 25+ threshold for too many tools and feels like a broad platform dump rather than a focused toolkit. Several utility, memory, and meta-discovery tools could reasonably live in separate servers, and the Insee name makes the breadth especially unfocused.

Completeness4/5

For the broad data-research platform it actually exposes, the coverage is strong: general lookup, grounded verification, deep research, entity resolution, company profiles, comparisons, change feeds, subscriptions, and memory all have working lifecycles. The main gap is that some unrelated utilities like scan_dependency and generate_llms_txt feel tacked on rather than part of a missing core workflow.
