Scan Dependency

scan_dependency
Read-onlyIdempotent

Composite "should I add this npm package to my project" check in ONE call — fans out across deps.dev (license + advisories + version history) and bundlephobia (gzipped/minified bundle size, dependency count, ESM/tree-shake support). Use whenever an agent asks "is X safe / popular / small" or "what does adding lodash cost me". Returns a summary block (is_latest, license, published_at, advisory_count, bundle_kb_min, bundle_kb_gz, dependency_count, has_esm, tree_shakeable), per-advisory detail, links, and a list of recent alternative versions. NPM ecosystem only in v1; PyPI / Maven / Cargo / Go fall under deps.dev:version directly. Partial failures degrade gracefully — bundlephobia's first measurement on a new version can take 5-30s; sources_failed will list it if it times out, the rest still returns.

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already provide readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint=false. The description adds behavioral details: it fans out across two services, handles partial failures gracefully, and notes that bundlephobia's first measurement can take 5-30 seconds. This adds value beyond annotations with 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?

The description is a single dense paragraph but communicates all necessary information efficiently. It is front-loaded with the main purpose and covers key details. Could be slightly improved with bullet points or shorter sentences, but currently concise and well-structured.

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, the description fully enumerates the return fields (summary block with is_latest, license, etc., per-advisory detail, links, alternative versions) and explains error behavior (sources_failed list). This provides complete context for an agent to understand what to expect.

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 coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds meaning by stating that scoped packages are accepted and that version defaults to the latest published version when omitted, which goes 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 it's a composite check for npm packages using deps.dev and bundlephobia. It specifies the verb 'scan' and resource 'dependency', and distinguishes itself from siblings by focusing on npm package evaluation, which is unique among the listed tools.

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?

The description explicitly says 'Use whenever an agent asks "is X safe / popular / small" or "what does adding lodash cost me".' It also notes ecosystem constraints ('NPM ecosystem only in v1') and directs users to alternative tools for other ecosystems, providing clear when-to-use and when-not-to-use guidance.

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

A3.8/5.0
Disambiguation3/5

Many tools are clearly distinct, but the existence of multiple ask_pipeworx variants (standard, beta, grounded) and the overlapping check_risk/lookup_ip tools create meaningful selection ambiguity. Description differentiation helps but doesn't fully resolve it.

Naming Consistency3/5

All names use snake_case, but conventions vary between verb-noun (lookup_ip, compare_entities), noun phrases (entity_profile, recent_alerts), and domain-prefixed names (polymarket_edges, pipeworx_trending). It's readable but not a consistent pattern.

Tool Count2/5

At 33 tools the surface is large, with duplicated ask_pipeworx variants, a modest IP lookup core, and a large number of meta/management tools (memory, subscriptions, onboarding, feedback). Even with a broad scope this feels overloaded, and it is well above the 25+ threshold.

Completeness4/5

The query domain is well covered: entity profiles, comparison, claim validation, deep research, changes, plus memory and subscription management. Minor gaps exist (no direct subscription update, no raw citation fetch utility), but agents can work around them.
