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

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations indicate read-only, idempotent, non-destructive. Description adds that it returns top-N relevant tools with schemas and curated examples, ready to call directly. No contradictions.

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?

Three well-structured sentences: purpose with examples, return format, usage guidance. No fluff, front-loaded, each sentence adds value.

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?

Without output schema, description adequately explains return format (names, descriptions, schemas) and that results are directly callable. Covers essential aspects for a search tool.

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% with descriptions for all parameters. Description adds context about query purpose, aliases, and return format (schemas included), providing extra value beyond schema.

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 finds tools by describing data or task, lists specific domains, and distinguishes from sibling tools by advising to call it first to see the option set.

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 when you need to browse, search, look up, or discover what tools exist' and 'Call this FIRST when you have many tools available'. Provides clear context, though no explicit when-not or alternatives.

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 near-duplicate lookup and prediction-market tools make selection ambiguous: ask_pipeworx_beta deliberately mirrors ask_pipeworx, and the five polymarket_* tools plus bet_research all target the same general 'should I bet / where is the edge' use case. The descriptions are detailed, but at the set level an agent must read extensive disambiguation essays to avoid picking the wrong tool.

Naming Consistency3/5

The set is uniformly snake_case, and subfamilies like ask_pipeworx*, polymarket_*, and subscribe/unsubscribe are internally consistent. However, conventions vary widely: verb_noun (fetch_dataset, validate_claim), noun phrases (entity_profile, bet_research), bare verbs (remember, recall, forget), and prefix-branded meta tools (pipeworx_feedback, pipeworx_trending) all coexist without a single predictable pattern.

Tool Count2/5

34 tools for a server nominally called 'Oecd' vastly exceeds the scope implied by the name and crosses the 25+ too-many threshold. Many tools belong to unrelated domains such as Polymarket arbitrage, npm dependency scanning, llms.txt generation, and AI visibility audits, making the set feel like a broad dumping ground rather than a focused tool server.

Completeness4/5

Within its sprawling domains the tool surface is fairly complete: lookup, grounded verification, deep research, entity resolution/profile/comparison, memory, subscriptions, alerts, and OECD dataflow search/list/fetch are all represented. There are minor gaps such as lack of direct OECD metadata descriptions or deeper navigation of the 5,708 underlying tools, but most workflows can be completed without dead ends.
