Ask Pipeworx — Grounded

ask_pipeworx_grounded
Read-onlyIdempotent

Hallucination-resistant answer mode for high-stakes reads. Same routing as ask_pipeworx — picks the right tool from 5,743 across 1500 sources, fills arguments, fetches the data — then EXTRACTS the answer using ONLY what the tool result contains. Returns {answer, evidence (verbatim quote), confidence, source, fetched_at, refusal_reason:null} on success, OR an explicit refusal {answer:null, refusal_reason:"not_in_source"|"no_tool_match"|"tool_error"|"data_truncated"|"llm_error"} when the data doesn't directly answer. Use whenever an answer will be quoted, cited, or acted on, and the agent must not invent facts (financial verdicts, legal claims, medical lookups, public statements). Costs one extra LLM call vs ask_pipeworx — prefer ask_pipeworx for casual lookups.

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the readOnly and idempotent annotations, the description reveals refusal behavior with enumerated refusal reasons, evidence extraction via verbatim quotes, and the extra LLM call cost. This gives the agent a clear model of failure modes and output guarantees.

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?

The description is dense but perfectly front-loaded: purpose, mechanism, return shapes, usage guidance, and cost tradeoff appear in logical order. Every sentence carries essential information with no filler.

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?

There is no output schema, so the description compensates by fully specifying both the success response fields and the explicit refusal response variants. Together with annotations and input schema, an agent has everything needed to select, invoke, and interpret this 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%, so the schema fully documents the question parameter and its aliases. The description adds no parameter-specific semantics beyond the generic 'fills arguments' phrase, so the baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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 identifies the tool as a hallucination-resistant answer mode for high-stakes reads, with a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes itself from ask_pipeworx by noting identical routing but stricter extraction, and by defining the success and refusal return contracts.

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?

Provides explicit when-to-use guidance: whenever an answer will be quoted, cited, or acted on in financial, legal, medical, or public-statement contexts. It also explicitly recommends preferring ask_pipeworx for casual lookups because this mode costs an extra LLM call.

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

A3.5/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Multiple natural-language query tools (ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research, validate_claim, discover_tools, suggest_questions) have heavily overlapping purposes, and the descriptions rely on subtle caveats to differentiate them. Similarly, entity_profile vs compare_entities vs recent_changes and ai_visibility_check vs scan_competitor_ai_presence blur boundaries. Only the four check_* tools (email/ip/phone/url) are cleanly distinct.

Naming Consistency2/5

There are some consistent prefixes (check_*, polymarket_*, ask_pipeworx_*, pipeworx_*) but the overall set mixes verb_noun, noun_verb, and standalone adjectival names (deep_research, entity_profile, bet_research, validate_claim, recent_changes). The pattern is readable within families but chaotic across the whole surface, with no unified convention.

Tool Count2/5

35 tools is excessive for a server branded 'Ipqualityscore', especially since only 4 tools actually serve that fraud-checking domain. The rest sprawls into general data research, prediction-market analysis, memory management, subscriptions, and npm dependency scanning — a far larger scope than the name implies. This is a scattershot collection rather than a coherent offering.

Completeness2/5

The IPQS core domain is thin (only email, IP, phone, URL checks) and missing common fraud-screening operations like transaction scoring or domain reputation. Conversely, the Pipeworx side is over-complete with redundant query paths, while unrelated subsystems (memory, subscriptions, feedback) create dead ends that don't serve the server's apparent purpose. The lack of a clear domain makes genuine completeness impossible to assess or claim.
