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

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Description adds behavioral context beyond annotations: returns top-N tools with schemas and examples, each ready to call. Annotations already indicate safety and idempotency.

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?

Single paragraph, front-loaded with purpose, no redundant sentences, efficient use of language.

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 6 parameters (1 required) and no output schema, description adequately covers what the tool does and what it returns. Could mention pagination but not required.

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%. Description adds meaning by explaining the query parameter's role as natural language and listing aliases. Limit parameter is explained.

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?

Description clearly states the tool finds tools by describing data or task, lists explicit domains, and distinguishes it from specific tools in sibling list.

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' for browsing the option set, providing clear usage context. Doesn't explicitly state when not to use but implies it's for discovery.

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

Several tools occupy adjacent territory—ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research, and validate_claim all answer natural-language questions, and the Polymarket family has five overlapping analysis tools. The descriptions do a decent job of differentiating them, but an agent could still plausibly select the wrong variant in a mixed workflow.

Naming Consistency3/5

Most names follow a readable lowercase snake_case style, and there are coherent families like ask_pipeworx_*, polymarket_*, and pipeworx_*. However, conventions are mixed across the set—some are verb_noun (list_subscriptions, resolve_entity), some are bare verbs (forget, recall, reverse), and some are noun-phrase-only (entity_profile, recent_alerts)—so no single predictable pattern governs the whole server.

Tool Count2/5

33 tools is well past the 25+ threshold for a heavy tool surface, even accounting for the broad data-domain ambitions of the server. Many of these tools are meta-tools or thin variants of one another, so the set feels larger than necessary and imposes meaningful selection cost on an agent.

Completeness4/5

The server covers its apparent domain thoroughly: querying, grounded verification, deep research, entity resolution, profiles, comparisons, change tracking, claim validation, memory, subscriptions, and prediction-market analytics are all represented. Minor gaps exist—such as no direct tool for retrieving a raw pipeworx:// citation record and no account/auth flow—but agents can generally complete core workflows without dead ends.
