Scan Competitor AI Presence

scan_competitor_ai_presence
Read-onlyIdempotent

Compare AI visibility across multiple entities side-by-side. Probes each entity (your brand + N competitors) with ai_visibility_check, ranks by score, surfaces which is most/least recognized. Useful for competitive AI-marketing audits: "does Claude know about us as well as our competitors?". Returns ranked list with score, confidence, signal density per entity.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
modelsNoWhich models to probe. Supported: "workers-ai" (free default), "anthropic" (requires _apiKey). Omit for just workers-ai.
_apiKeyNoOptional Anthropic API key — only if "anthropic" is in models. Passed to api.anthropic.com per probe.
contextNoOptional shared context applied to every probe (e.g. "B2B SaaS", "Boston restaurant"). Disambiguates common names.
entitiesYesArray of 2-8 entities to compare (brand/business/product names). First entry treated as the "subject" for narrative; rest are competitors.

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare this as a safe, idempotent read operation. The description adds valuable behavior beyond that: it explains that the tool probes each entity via ai_visibility_check, ranks results by score, and surfaces the most/least recognized, along with the return format. No contradictions 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.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Three sentences, front-loaded with the core function, and every sentence adds value. It includes purpose, method, use case, and output format without any redundancy.

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?

Given the tool's moderate complexity, full annotation coverage, and complete schema, the description covers the key aspects: what it does, how it works, when to use it, and what to expect in the output. No output schema exists, so the description's mention of the ranked list with score/confidence/signal density compensates reasonably.

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?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds extra meaning by explaining 'entities' as 'your brand + N competitors' and noting that the first entry is treated as a subject, which is not in the schema. This helps the agent understand how to construct the parameter values.

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 the verb 'Compare' and the resource 'AI visibility across multiple entities side-by-side'. It distinguishes itself from the sibling tool ai_visibility_check by emphasizing the multi-entity comparison and ranking, making the purpose unmistakable.

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?

The description provides clear context for when to use the tool ('competitive AI-marketing audits') with a concrete example query. It does not explicitly exclude alternatives or name when-not-to-use, but the comparison focus is clear enough to guide selection.

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
Disambiguation3/5

Many tools are crisply separated (memory CRUD, subscription lifecycle, single-entity vs compare vs profile), but several broad entry points overlap: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, and ask_pipeworx_grounded are very close variants, and discover_tools/suggest_questions/ask_pipeworx all serve discovery/routing. Descriptions help, but an agent can still easily select one of the duplicate or adjacent tools instead of the intended one.

Naming Consistency3/5

All names are readable snake_case and there are coherent families (polymarket_*, ask_pipeworx_*, search_*, get_*), but there is no consistent verb_noun convention: noun-phrase names like recent_alerts and pipeworx_trending coexist with single verbs like remember and forget and domain-prefixed nouns like polymarket_edges. Mixed, but still reasonably navigable.

Tool Count2/5

At 35 tools, the surface is well past the comfortable 3-15 tool scope and even beyond the 16-25 heavy range unless the server has one explicit mega-purpose. The set also sprawls across music lookup, Pipeworx research, prediction markets, npm checks, LLM visibility, memory, and subscriptions, so no single coherent job emerges.

Completeness4/5

For the dominant read-only research workflow, the set is remarkably complete: discover tools, grounded and ungrounded asking, deep research, entity resolution, profiles, recent changes, comparisons, claim verification, search_within, plus full memory and subscription lifecycles. Minor gaps include the shallow music side relative to the rest of the server and the absence of an explicit source catalog.
