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 declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true. The description adds that it returns top-N relevant tools with full schemas and examples, ready to call, which complements annotations without 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?

The description is front-loaded with the main purpose and packed with useful details. It is slightly long but every sentence contributes to understanding.

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?

Given no output schema, the description adequately explains what is returned (names, descriptions, full schemas with examples) and the top-N behavior, making the tool's response fully predictable.

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%, and the description adds value by explaining the purpose of aliases (e.g., task, q, search, description) and providing example queries. It clarifies that query is natural language.

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 'Find tools by describing the data or task' with a specific verb and resource. It lists extensive data domains and distinguishes itself from sibling tools by being the discovery entry point.

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 'Call this FIRST when you have many tools available and want to see the option set,' providing clear context. Does not explicitly mention when not to use, but the intent is clear.

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

Several clusters have overlapping purposes: ask_pipeworx and ask_pipeworx_beta are explicitly identical, and the five prediction-market tools (bet_research, polymarket_edges, polymarket_arbitrage, polymarket_kalshi_spread, polymarket_fill_risk) all target 'find edge in Polymarket markets' with subtle differences. query and variant both retrieve the same variant annotations, and ai_visibility_check vs scan_competitor_ai_presence are near-duplicates.

Naming Consistency4/5

Most tools follow a consistent verb_noun or domain-prefixed pattern (ask_pipeworx, compare_entities, resolve_entity, polymarket_edges, remember/recall/forget). Minor deviations exist: the bare nouns query, variant, and metadata are less descriptive, and ask_pipeworx_beta uses a suffix instead of a clean verb pattern, but the overall convention is fairly uniform.

Tool Count2/5

34 tools is far too many for a server named 'Myvariant' whose stated domain is genetic variant annotations. The set is a grab-bag spanning genetic data, Pipeworx query routing, Polymarket betting, memory persistence, subscriptions, AI visibility, and npm dependency scanning. Most tools are unrelated to the server's apparent purpose, making the count feel bloated and incoherent.

Completeness3/5

Individual clusters are reasonably complete: variants have search/get/metadata, memory has remember/recall/forget, and subscriptions have subscribe/list/unsubscribe/alerts. However, as a Myvariant server the surface is massively over-scoped yet oddly missing any batch-variant or annotation-source-specific lookup, and the sprawling multi-domain design makes 'complete' hard to meaningfully assess.
