list_subscriptionsList the caller's active subscriptions. Returns id, type, params, created_at, last_fired_at, fire_count for each. Use this to review what you're monitoring before adding more or to find an id to cancel.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| include_inactive | No | Include cancelled subscriptions in the response (default false). |
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so description's job is lighter. It adds value by noting default active-only behavior and the effect of include_inactive parameter. Describes returned fields, enhancing transparency without contradicting annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences: first states purpose and output fields, second gives usage guidance. No fluff, every sentence is justified and front-loaded. Excellent conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given low complexity (1 optional param, no output schema), the description covers purpose, usage, and behavior adequately. It lists return fields and default behavior. No missing critical information; could mention pagination or limits but not needed for this simple tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema covers the only parameter (include_inactive) with 100% description coverage, so description doesn't need to add much. It mentions the parameter implicitly but adds no new semantics beyond the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states 'List the caller's active subscriptions', providing specific verb and resource. It also enumerates return fields (id, type, params, etc.), making the output clear. Differentiates from siblings like subscribe/unsubscribe by focusing on listing.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicit guidance: 'Use this to review what you're monitoring before adding more or to find an id to cancel.' Tells when to use and provides practical context, distinguishing it from other actions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Add one secure layer between your agents and this server.
Several clusters overlap: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research, and validate_claim all answer natural-language questions, and ai_visibility_check duplicates scan_competitor_ai_presence at a smaller scale. The detailed descriptions do separate most of these by routing, mode, or output, but the currently identical beta router and the broad ask/research family create real ambiguity.
Names are all lowercase snake_case and there are coherent prefixes like polymarket_ and pipeworx_, but the set mixes imperative verb_noun names (list_subscriptions, validate_claim) with descriptive noun phrases (macro_snapshot, entity_profile, polymarket_edge_tracker) and bare verbs. The inconsistency is readable but not a single predictable pattern.
33 tools is well beyond the 25+ threshold for a coherent server, and the set spans many unrelated domains: data routing, prediction markets, memory, subscriptions, AI visibility, package scanning, and llms.txt generation. Even if each cluster has a purpose, the server is overloaded and several high-level wrappers could be consolidated.
The main clusters are well covered: memory has remember/recall/forget, subscriptions have subscribe/list/recent_alerts/unsubscribe, and company research has resolve_entity, entity_profile, recent_changes, and compare_entities. Minor gaps exist (no direct trade placement, no general web search, no account/profile management), but agents can complete most workflows without dead ends.
