What Can I Ask Pipeworx?

suggest_questions
Read-onlyIdempotent

What can I ask Pipeworx? / what is Pipeworx good for? / what can you do? / give me ideas / show me examples / getting started / what data do you have? — the onboarding entry point for an agent that just connected and wants to know what is worth asking. Returns category-bucketed example questions (company financials, drugs & clinical trials, economics, real estate, prediction markets, weather, government & patents, science & academia, news) — each with the exact tool + argument shape that answers it, drawn from the live catalog of thousands of tools. Call with no arguments for the full spread, or pass topic (e.g. "finance", "pharma", "betting") to focus. Use this FIRST when you do not yet know what Pipeworx can do for you, or to learn how to call the meta-tools (ask_pipeworx, entity_profile, compare_entities, etc.).

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, openWorld, idempotent, non-destructive. Description adds that it draws from a live catalog and returns structured examples, providing context beyond the annotations.

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 lengthy with many example queries and a long list of categories, which could be more concise. It is front-loaded with key uses, but contains redundant phrasing.

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?

For a discovery tool with one optional param and no output schema, the description adequately covers purpose, usage, and output nature (category-bucketed examples). No major gaps.

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?

Parameter schema coverage is 100%; description adds meaning by listing valid topic values (finance, pharma, etc.) and explaining behavior when omitted (full spread).

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 is an onboarding entry point that returns category-bucketed example questions with exact tool and argument shapes, distinguishing it from siblings like ask_pipeworx.

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 this FIRST' when unsure what Pipeworx can do, and describes optional topic filtering. Lacks explicit when-not-to-use, but context is clear.

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

A4/5.0
Disambiguation3/5

Several tools have overlapping purposes, such as the ask_pipeworx family (standard, beta, grounded) and the multiple Polymarket analysis tools (edges, arbitrage, fill_risk, edge_tracker, kalshi_spread, bet_research). The detailed descriptions help differentiate them, but an agent could still misselect between deep_research vs ask_pipeworx or polymarket_edges vs polymarket_arbitrage.

Naming Consistency3/5

Naming patterns are mixed: many tools use verb_noun (discover_tools, validate_claim, compare_entities), but others are noun_noun (entity_profile, polymarket_edges), single verbs (remember, recall, forget), or unusual forms (extension_for, search_within, ask_pipeworx). The polymarket_ prefix and ask_pipeworx family provide some consistency, but overall the style is not uniform.

Tool Count2/5

33 tools is a large number for the server's scope. While it covers many domains (data querying, entity research, Polymarket analysis, subscriptions, memory, utilities), there is redundancy: three ask_pipeworx variants and six Polymarket-specific tools inflate the count. Several tools could be merged or dropped without losing functionality, making the set feel heavier than necessary.

Completeness4/5

The toolset covers its core domains well: data querying (ask_pipeworx, deep_research), entity resolution (resolve_entity, entity_profile, compare_entities), Polymarket analysis (research, arbitrage, risk, edges, tracking, cross-venue), subscriptions (subscribe/unsubscribe/list/alerts), memory (remember/recall/forget), and utilities (MIME lookup, dependency scan). Minor gaps exist, such as no direct fetch tool for pipeworx:// citation URIs and no update operation for subscriptions, but these are not critical.
