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".

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond readOnly/idempotent annotations, description details BGE-base-en embeddings, cosine similarity, 500-char overlapping windows, 200K char cap with truncation flag. Completely transparent about internal mechanics.

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?

Front-loaded with core purpose, then expands with usage and technical details. Each sentence adds unique value, though slightly dense. No wasted words.

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, description adequately explains return format (passages with offsets and similarity scores) and input limits (200K chars, truncation). Fully informs agent of expectations.

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 covers all parameters descriptively. Description adds value by giving natural-language query examples and stating the text parameter is for already-pulled content. Enhances schema without redundancy.

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 'Semantic search INSIDE a fetched record' with specific examples (SEC 10-K, article). It distinguishes from siblings by mentioning 'ask_pipeworx_grounded' as a pair, making it unique among sibling 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?

Explicitly says 'Use when the record is too big to cram into the prompt' and pairs with 'ask_pipeworx_grounded'. No explicit when-not scenarios, but context is clear enough.

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

A4.3/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose, from querying data (ask_pipeworx) to entity profiling (entity_profile) to prediction market analysis (polymarket_arbitrage, polymarket_edges). Even similar tools like deep_research and ask_pipeworx are differentiated by scope (single vs. multi-facet). There is no ambiguity.

Naming Consistency4/5

The vast majority of tools use snake_case (e.g., validate_claim, compare_entities). However, a few tools are single words (forget, recall, remember, subscribe, unsubscribe) which breaks the pattern slightly. This is a minor inconsistency.

Tool Count4/5

With 33 tools, the set is on the larger side but well-justified by the broad scope of the server (data querying, entity research, prediction markets, JSON utilities, subscriptions, etc.). Each tool serves a specific need, making the count appropriate.

Completeness5/5

The tool surface covers virtually all expected operations for the domain: querying, profiling, comparison, change tracking, validation, discovery, subscriptions, memory, and utilities. No obvious gaps are present for the intended use case of accessing Pipeworx data and related tasks.
