Discover Tools

discover_tools
Read-onlyIdempotent

Find tools by describing the data or task. Use when you need to browse, search, look up, or discover what tools exist for: SEC filings, financials, revenue, profit, FDA drugs, adverse events, FRED economic data, Census demographics, BLS jobs/unemployment/inflation, ATTOM real estate, ClinicalTrials, USPTO patents, weather, news, crypto, stocks. Returns the top-N most relevant tools with names, descriptions, and full input schemas (with curated examples) — each result is ready to call directly, no second schema lookup needed. Call this FIRST when you have many tools available and want to see the option set (not just one answer).

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint. Description adds that it returns top-N most relevant tools with full schemas and curated examples, ready to call directly. No contradiction.

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?

Description is front-loaded with purpose and usage. The list of domains is somewhat lengthy but informative. Could be slightly more concise, but overall efficient.

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?

For a discovery tool, it fully explains what it returns (tool names, descriptions, schemas) and how to use it. No output schema but description compensates. Siblings are numerous, and description sets clear expectations.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all parameters well. Description adds examples and clarifies the main parameter's purpose, but doesn't provide significant additional meaning beyond the schema.

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 finds tools by describing the data or task, listing many domains. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools by being the initial discovery tool, which is explicit in 'Call this FIRST'.

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?

Explicitly states 'Call this FIRST when you have many tools available and want to see the option set'. Provides context on when to use (browse, search, discover) and implies it's for exploration before other tools.

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

A3.6/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have clearly distinct purposes, but there is some overlap between research-oriented tools like ask_pipeworx and deep_research, and between entity_profile and compare_entities. Descriptions help differentiate them, so overall an agent can tell them apart.

Naming Consistency2/5

Tool names are inconsistent, mixing snake_case (ask_pipeworx, list_subscriptions) and camelCase (bag_research, compare_entities). There is no uniform naming pattern, which can be confusing.

Tool Count2/5

With 35 tools, the set is too large for a server named 'Mastodon'. Only a few tools are actually Mastodon-related (e.g., get_account, get_timeline), while the majority are PipeWorx tools unrelated to the core purpose.

Completeness1/5

As a Mastodon server, the toolset is severely incomplete: it lacks basic social media operations like posting statuses, following/unfollowing, and engaging with content. The name misrepresents the actual capabilities.
