Entity Profile

entity_profile
Read-onlyIdempotent

"Tell me about X" / "research Acme" / "brief me on Tesla" / "what does Apple do" / "company profile for Microsoft" / "give me the rundown on NVDA" / "everything you know about $TICKER" — full cross-source profile of a US public company in ONE parallel call. ALWAYS PREFER over chaining single-pack SEC/XBRL/news lookups when the user asks for a holistic view. Fans out across SEC EDGAR, XBRL, USPTO patents, federal contracts (USAspending), FDA-licensed biologics (Purple Book), H-1B hiring (DOL LCA), news and GLEIF, and returns: cik + company_name (+ resolved_from/resolved_to when value was a name); recent_filings (up to 5 with pipeworx://edgar/company/{cik}/filings/{accession} URIs); fundamentals (LATEST 10-K Revenues + NetIncomeLoss + Cash, sorted period_end DESC); patents (USPTO PatentsView API sunset May 2025 — soft-fails until reactivated); federal_contracts (USAspending awards where the company is the recipient); fda_products (FDA-licensed biologics — vaccines, cell/gene therapies — from the Purple Book; a company with only small-molecule/generic drugs will show none here, that is expected, not a failure); hiring (H-1B sponsorship volume + salary range from DOL LCA filings); recent news mentions via GDELT→GNews fallback; LEI via GLEIF. sources_used / sources_failed say which of these actually returned data for THIS company — an empty section is a real "no data", not a bug. Pass a ticker ("AAPL"), zero-padded CIK ("0000320193"), OR a company name ("Moderna") — names now resolve via SEC EDGAR's company-name match; a private company (no CIK/ticker) returns resolved:false with an explicit notes line, not a bare failure. type accepts "company" or "ticker" interchangeably — both take the same value shapes above.

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the read-only/idempotent annotations, the description details the fan-out across EDGAR, XBRL, USPTO, USAspending, Purple Book, DOL LCA, news, and GLEIF; explains that sources_used/sources_failed indicate real no-data vs. bugs; and discloses name-resolution and private-company behavior. No contradiction with annotations.

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 dense and long, but nearly every clause carries functional information: trigger examples, source fan-out, return fields, failure semantics, and input shapes. It is front-loaded with purpose and usage preference, though the packed parenthetical style makes it slightly harder to scan.

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?

With no output schema, the description must explain return values, and it does: CIK/company_name, recent_filings with URIs, fundamentals, sources_used/failed, and resolved flags. It also covers accepted input formats and edge cases, making it fully sufficient for an agent to invoke this complex cross-source tool correctly.

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 input schema already documents both parameters at 100% coverage. The description adds value by stating that type='company' and type='ticker' are interchangeable, clarifying that value can be a ticker, zero-padded CIK, or company name, and explaining what name resolution resolves to.

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 opens with natural-language trigger examples and a direct statement of function: 'full cross-source profile of a US public company in ONE parallel call.' It names the specific resource (US public company) and clearly differentiates itself from chained single-pack SEC/XBRL/news lookups, which distinguishes it from 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 Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

It explicitly says to use this when 'the user asks for a holistic view' and to 'ALWAYS PREFER' it over chaining separate lookups. It also covers when it is not applicable: private companies without a CIK/ticker return resolved:false with a notes line, and person/place is not yet supported.

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

Several tools have heavily overlapping purposes: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, and ask_pipeworx_grounded share the same router, with the beta variant currently identical to stable. The five polymarket_* tools plus bet_research also blur boundaries, and discover_tools/suggest_questions both serve discovery. Detailed descriptions help, but an agent could easily select the wrong tool.

Naming Consistency3/5

All names use lower_snake_case and many follow a clear verb_noun pattern (resolve_entity, validate_claim, generate_llms_txt). However, there are notable deviations: entity_profile, pipeworx_feedback, polymarket_edges, recent_changes, and bet_research lead with nouns or adjectives. The style is readable and predictable in clusters, but not uniform.

Tool Count2/5

32 tools is well above the 25+ threshold for 'too many', and the server name Macvendors suggests a narrow MAC-lookup service, yet most tools belong to a much broader Pipeworx data/prediction-market platform. Several tools are near-duplicates or micro-variants (three ask_pipeworx versions, six polymarket tools). The set would be more appropriately split or heavily consolidated.

Completeness4/5

Within the actual broad research platform domain, the surface is fairly complete: discovery, routing, grounded answers, entity profiles, comparisons, recent changes, claim validation, semantic search, prediction-market analysis, subscriptions, memory, and feedback are all covered. Minor gaps exist, such as no subscription update tool and no batch MAC lookup, but agents can generally complete workflows without dead ends.
