Ask Pipeworx Beta

ask_pipeworx_beta
Read-onlyIdempotent

Beta version of ask_pipeworx: identical universal router (same 7,136 tools, same arguments, same response shape) with candidate routing improvements enabled live whenever one is under test. No candidate is active right now (the last was retired on outcome evidence 2026-07-26), so this currently matches ask_pipeworx exactly. Use it exactly like ask_pipeworx when you want the newest routing; results are compared against the stable router to decide what merges. Falls back to nothing — this IS a full working router, just the experimental edge.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
qNoAlias for question.
askNoAlias for question.
textNoAlias for question.
inputNoAlias for question.
packsNoOPTIONAL. Restrict routing to these pack slugs (e.g. ["sec-form-d","sec-13f"]) — the router then picks only from tools in those packs. Omit for the default full-catalog routing. Slugs come from list_packs / search_packs / https://pipeworx.io/directory; unlisted or unknown slugs are ignored and named in _meta.pack_scope.ignored, and if none of them resolves the question is routed across the whole catalog with _meta.pack_scope.full_catalog:true (never an empty answer).
queryNoAlias for question.
promptNoAlias for question.
messageNoAlias for question.
questionYesYour question or request in natural language. Accepts query, q, prompt, text, input, ask, message as aliases.

TDQS

A4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover readOnly/idempotent/open-world, but the description adds real context beyond them: routing changes are compared against the stable router, results feed merge decisions, and the 'falls back to nothing' line clarifies this is a fully working router rather than a degraded failover. It still doesn't say what a failure or low-confidence routing looks like at call time.

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?

Front-loaded and mostly efficient: identity, differentiation, usage, and fallback semantics in four sentences. Minor waste comes from the baked-in volatile state ('last was retired on outcome evidence 2026-07-26') that will go stale, and the 'Falls back to nothing —' opener is momentarily ambiguous before being negated.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

There is no output schema, and the description only defers return-shape questions to ask_pipeworx ('same response shape'), which requires prior knowledge of that sibling. For a router whose response includes routing metadata, a brief pointer to the key return fields would close the gap; safety behavior is adequately covered by annotations plus the no-fallback clarification.

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 coverage is 100%: all seven question aliases are documented and 'packs' has a detailed description covering unknown slugs, _meta.pack_scope.ignored, and full-catalog fallback. The description adds nothing about arguments beyond 'same arguments' as ask_pipeworx, so baseline 3 applies.

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?

States a specific verb/resource (universal router, beta edition of ask_pipeworx) and immediately pins down the relationship to the sibling: same 7,136 tools, same arguments, same response shape. An agent can tell exactly what differs from ask_pipeworx (only the live routing candidate) without opening either schema.

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?

Names the alternative explicitly and gives a selection rule: 'Use it exactly like ask_pipeworx when you want the newest routing.' However, the immediately preceding sentence says no candidate is active and it currently matches ask_pipeworx exactly, which leaves the agent without a reason to prefer it over the stable tool right now. There is no explicit when-not-to-use guidance.

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