Ask Pipeworx

ask_pipeworx
Read-onlyIdempotent

PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for questions about current or historical data: SEC filings, FDA drug data, FRED/BLS economic statistics, government records, USPTO patents, ATTOM real estate, weather, clinical trials, news, stocks, crypto, sports, academic papers, or anything requiring authoritative structured data with citations. Routes the question to the right one of 5,801 tools across 1517 verified sources, fills arguments, returns the structured answer with stable pipeworx:// citation URIs. Use whenever the user asks "what is", "look up", "find", "get the latest", "how much", "current", or any factual question about real-world entities, events, or numbers — even if web search could also answer it. Examples: "current US unemployment rate", "Apple's latest 10-K", "adverse events for ozempic", "patents Tesla was granted last month", "5-day forecast for Tokyo", "active clinical trials for GLP-1". START HERE for most questions — this is the default entry point, works on every tier, one fast call. Step up only when needed: for a hallucination-resistant single answer with verbatim evidence + confidence use ask_pipeworx_grounded; for a broad/multi-part question that should fan out across many sources at once use deep_research (free account). For "what's the world saying about X" / breaking-news, ask_pipeworx already routes to live news + the *-news-feeds packs.

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint:false. The description adds behavioral context beyond that: it routes, fills arguments, returns structured answers with stable citation URIs, and claims 'one fast call' and 'works on every tier'. It does not contradict 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 long but well-structured: it front-loads the key directive, then gives scope, examples, and alternative routing. Every sentence adds useful guidance for a central default tool. Slight verbosity but justified given the tool's breadth.

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 tool that routes to thousands of sources, the description covers when to use, what it returns (structured answers with citations), examples, and alternatives. No output schema exists, but the description sufficiently conveys the return type. Nothing critical is missing.

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% for the single required parameter (question) plus five aliases. The description provides example questions but no additional semantic detail about parameter formatting or constraints beyond what the schema already states. Baseline 3 applies given full schema coverage.

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 states a specific verb (route, return) and resource (5,801 tools across verified sources), with concrete examples of questions. It explicitly contrasts with sibling tools like ask_pipeworx_grounded and deep_research, making its unique role unmistakable.

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 opens with 'PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH', declares itself the default entry point, and gives explicit conditions for when to step up to alternatives (grounded for verbatim evidence, deep_research for broad multi-part questions). Also notes breaking-news coverage. This is textbook usage routing.

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

A3.9/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

The set contains several near-duplicate entry points (ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, ask_pipeworx_grounded) plus a dense family of polymarket_* and chemical lookup tools whose boundaries are subtle. An agent can easily pick the wrong router variant, edge-scanning tool, or chemical search tool.

Naming Consistency3/5

Snake_case is used throughout, but naming style is mixed: some tools are verb-first (query, resolve_entity, validate_claim), some are noun/domain-first (entity_profile, recent_changes, polymarket_arbitrage), and the ask_pipeworx variants use suffixes instead of a consistent verb pattern. It is readable, but there is no predictable convention beyond snake_case.

Tool Count2/5

34 tools is well past the comfortable range, and the count is especially hard to justify because they span unrelated domains: chemistry lookups, a Pipeworx data gateway, prediction-market analytics, memory, subscriptions, AI-visibility checks, and npm dependency scanning. Many of these have no obvious connection to the 'Mychem' name or to each other.

Completeness4/5

Within each contained workflow the surface is fairly complete: chemistry has search/fetch/metadata, Pipeworx has lookup/research/discovery/validation, subscriptions and memory both have lifecycle coverage, and the Polymarket family covers research, edge detection, persistence, and fill risk. Some minor gaps exist (no general web retrieval or execution/trading action), but agents can work around them.
