Ask Pipeworx

ask_pipeworx
Read-onlyIdempotent

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 5,798 tools across 1517 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". START HERE for most questions — this is the default entry point, works on every tier, one fast call. Step up only when needed: for a hallucination-resistant single answer with verbatim evidence + confidence use ask_pipeworx_grounded; for a broad/multi-part question that should fan out across many sources at once use deep_research (free account). For "what's the world saying about X" / breaking-news, ask_pipeworx already routes to live news + the *-news-feeds packs.

A4.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already guarantee read-only, open-world, idempotent behavior; the description adds meaningful internal behavior by disclosing multi-tool routing, automatic argument filling, and stable citation URIs in the answer. It does not mention rate limits or failure modes, but those are not necessary for a read-only query tool with this annotation coverage.

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 front-loaded with the most important routing directive and every major section provides actionable content, but the closing escalation paragraph is slightly redundant after 'START HERE... STEP UP to a sibling' and is worded awkwardly. Still, it remains efficient for a router tool that needs to cover many domains.

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?

For a tool with one required string parameter and no output schema, the description fully covers selection criteria, invocation patterns, examples, output shape (structured answer with stable citation URIs), and alternatives. Nothing an agent needs to decide whether to call it or construct the query is missing.

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?

Input schema already documents the single 'question' parameter and all aliases with 100% coverage, so the baseline is 3. The description adds value by showing concrete trigger phrases and real examples ('current US unemployment rate', 'Apple's latest 10-K'), which clarify the expected natural-language input beyond the schema.

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?

Description names a precise job: takes a natural-language question, routes it to the right one of 5,767 tools across verified sources, fills arguments, and returns a structured answer with pipeworx:// citation URIs. This distinguishes it from siblings by framing it as the default router: 'START HERE for most questions'.

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 'PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH', lists trigger phrases and example topics, and gives direct escalation conditions: use ask_pipeworx_grounded for a hallucination-resistant single answer and deep_research for broad/multi-part questions. This is unusually clear about when to use this tool versus alternatives.

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

A3.6/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Several tools have overlapping purposes: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, ask_pipeworx_grounded, and deep_research all answer data questions; polymarket_arbitrage, polymarket_edges, and polymarket_edge_tracker all scan prediction markets. Despite long descriptions, an agent could easily select the wrong one, especially the currently identical ask_pipeworx and ask_pipeworx_beta.

Naming Consistency3/5

Mostly snake_case, but with inconsistent patterns: get_my_ip/lookup_ip use verb_noun, entity_profile/recent_changes are noun phrases, remember/recall/forget are bare verbs, and the polymarket_* tools share a brand-prefixed noun style. Readable but not a predictable, uniform convention.

Tool Count2/5

At 33 tools, the server is overloaded, far exceeding the 25-tool threshold for 'too many.' It combines two unrelated identities—the original ipinfo IP lookup and the massive Pipeworx data/research platform—making the toolset heavy and harder for an agent to navigate efficiently.

Completeness4/5

The tool surface provides strong coverage of the data query and research lifecycle: discovery (discover_tools, suggest_questions), entity resolution (resolve_entity), lookup (ask_pipeworx, entity_profile), verification (validate_claim, ask_pipeworx_grounded), and post-processing (search_within, recent_changes). Minor gaps exist—for example, no dedicated 'get SEC filing by accession' tool or single-purpose financials endpoint—but these are workaroundable via the routing tools.
