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).

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, and non-destructive, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds valuable behavioral context: it returns full input schemas with curated examples, results are ready to call directly without a second lookup, and it returns a top-N ranked list. This goes beyond annotations and helps the agent understand the tool's output behavior.

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 appropriately sized: it front-loads the core purpose, then provides concrete usage guidance and a domain list. Every sentence adds value, though the domain enumeration is slightly long. Overall it is well-structured and information-dense without being verbose.

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?

The tool is a discovery tool with no output schema, but the description explicitly outlines what the return value includes (names, descriptions, full input schemas with examples). It also covers when to use it, parameter behavior (limit, query aliases), and the 'ready to call' aspect. This is a complete picture for the agent to invoke it correctly.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the schema fully documents all parameters, including aliases and defaults. The description adds slight context by explaining the query is a 'natural language description' and that limit controls top-N size, but this overlaps with schema descriptions. Per the rubric, baseline 3 is appropriate when the schema does the heavy lifting.

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 'Find tools by describing the data or task,' which clearly states the verb (find) and resource (tools). It further distinguishes itself from siblings by framing itself as a meta-tool for discovering other tools, not performing data lookups. The domain list and mention of 'top-N most relevant tools' reinforce this purpose.

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?

The description explicitly states when to use the tool: 'Use when you need to browse, search, look up, or discover what tools exist...' and 'Call this FIRST when you have many tools available and want to see the option set (not just one answer).' This gives clear context and even hints at timing (first), effectively guiding the agent away from alternatives.

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

A3.7/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have clear, distinct purposes, especially within the same domain (e.g., Polymarket betting tools each serve a specific function). However, the multiple data-querying tools (ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research) could cause confusion despite detailed descriptions.

Naming Consistency3/5

Many tools follow a verb_noun snake_case pattern (e.g., bet_research, compare_entities), but there are exceptions like ai_visibility_check, forget, and suggest_questions. The mix of imperative verbs and descriptive phrases creates inconsistency.

Tool Count2/5

With 35 tools, the server feels overloaded. While each domain (biomedical, financial, betting) is covered extensively, the sheer number of tools likely overwhelms agents, and many tools could be merged or split into separate servers.

Completeness4/5

The tool set is comprehensive for its declared purpose, covering biomedical queries, company data, betting analysis, memory management, and more. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no tool to delete a bet, no write operations for biomedical data), but the breadth is impressive.
