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 5,743 tools across 1500 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.

A3.9/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare read-only, open-world, and idempotent behavior. The description adds meaningful context: it routes across 5,743 tools, fills arguments, and returns stable pipeworx:// citation URIs, which helps the agent anticipate the response style. No contradiction with annotations exists.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

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

The description is mostly well-structured and front-loaded, opening with the web-search preference, then domains, mechanics, trigger phrases, and examples. However, the final exception about live-only breaking news is grammatically tangled and confusing, undermining the otherwise clean structure.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the complex meta-routing behavior and absence of an output schema, the description is quite complete: it covers domains, usage triggers, examples, and citation behavior. It falls short of a 5 because it leaves the live-news exception unclear and does not clarify relationship to sibling variants like ask_pipeworx_beta or ask_pipeworx_grounded.

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?

The schema documents all six properties, but five are trivial aliases for the single required question parameter. The description compensates with concrete trigger phrases and examples, giving the agent practical guidance on what kind of natural-language input is expected.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly explains the tool as a meta-router that takes natural-language questions and returns authoritative, cited answers from a large verified-source catalog. It is specific about domains and distinguishes itself from web search, but it does not differentiate from sibling variants like ask_pipeworx_beta or ask_pipeworx_grounded.

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?

It gives strong when-to-use guidance: prefer over web search, use for factual questions, and specific trigger phrases like 'what is', 'look up', and 'get the latest'. The 'START HERE' instruction reinforces its primary positioning, but the live-news exception is confusing and alternatives among sibling tools are not mentioned.

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
Disambiguation2/5

Multiple tool families overlap heavily: ask_pipeworx/ask_pipeworx_beta/ask_pipeworx_grounded all route through the same 5,721 tools, polymarket_edges/polymarket_arbitrage/bet_research/polymarket_fill_risk all target prediction-market opportunities, and ai_visibility_check vs scan_competitor_ai_presence cover the same probe. An agent would struggle to pick the right one without reading every description carefully.

Naming Consistency3/5

There are coherent subfamilies (ask_pipeworx_*, polymarket_*, remember/recall/forget, list/read/fetch_feed), but the overall set mixes verb-first names (list_feeds, validate_claim, fetch_feed) with noun-first names (entity_profile, bet_research, deep_research) and adjective-led names (recent_alerts, recent_changes). The inconsistency is noticeable but not chaotic.

Tool Count2/5

34 tools is heavy for a server branded 'Law Feeds,' and many tools are off-domain (Polymarket betting, npm dependency scanning, AI visibility marketing, generic memory). The breadth could justify a larger catalog, but the overlapping research/Polymarket tools inflate the count beyond what the surface needs.

Completeness3/5

As a general data-gateway, the set is fairly complete: routing, grounded answers, deep research, entity resolution, comparison, subscriptions, memory, and feedback are all covered. Relative to the 'Law Feeds' identity, though, the surface is shallow — only list_feeds, read_feed, and fetch_feed serve that purpose, with no feed search, management, or update capabilities.
