Tool Definition Quality
Average 3.8/5 across 19 of 19 tools scored. Lowest: 1.5/5.
Several tools overlap in purpose: bet_research and polymarket_edges both analyze Polymarket bets, entity_profile and recent_changes both provide company information. While descriptions help differentiate, the boundaries are not always clear.
Tool names mix verb phrases (ask_pipeworx, resolve_entity), nouns (dataset, datasets), and compound terms (bet_research, pipeworx_feedback). No consistent pattern like verb_noun is followed.
19 tools is slightly above the typical range but still manageable. Most tools serve a distinct purpose, though some could be consolidated.
The set covers data discovery, entity resolution, company research, and Polymarket analysis but lacks basic CRUD operations for datasets (e.g., no create, update, delete). Core workflows are present but with notable gaps.
Available Tools
19 toolsask_pipeworxARead-onlyInspect
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 2,522 tools across 575 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".
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| question | Yes | Your question or request in natural language |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate readOnly, openWorld, and non-destructive behavior. The description adds meaningful context: it explains that the tool routes to vetted sources, fills arguments, and returns citations with stable URIs. This complements the 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single focused paragraph that front-loads the key guidance (PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH) and provides ample examples. It is concise without being terse, though bullet points could improve scannability.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has a single parameter and no output schema, the description provides sufficient context: it explains what kinds of questions are suitable, the breadth of sources, and the type of output (structured answer with citations). It does not detail output format but that is acceptable for a meta-router.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The only parameter (question) is fully described in the schema with 'Your question or request in natural language', which is sufficient. The description reiterates this implicitly through examples but adds no new parameter-level details. Baseline 3 is appropriate given 100% schema coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: it is a meta-search tool that routes factual questions to 2,520 tools across 575 sources, returning structured answers with citations. It explicitly contrasts with web search and lists many domains (SEC filings, FDA data, etc.), making it distinct from sibling tools like entity_profile or dataset.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly says to prefer this tool over web search for factual questions and provides specific query examples and trigger phrases ("what is", "look up", etc.). It does not explicitly state when not to use it, but the positive guidance is very clear and directive.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
bet_researchARead-onlyInspect
Research a Polymarket bet by pulling the relevant Pipeworx data for it in one call. Pass a market slug ("will-bitcoin-hit-150k-by-june-30-2026"), a polymarket.com URL, or a question text. The tool resolves the market, classifies the bet (crypto price / Fed rate / geopolitical / sports / corporate / drug approval / election / other), fans out to the right packs (e.g. crypto+fred+gdelt for a BTC bet, fred+bls for a Fed bet, gdelt+acled+comtrade for Strait of Hormuz), and returns an evidence packet plus a simple market-vs-model comparison so the caller can see where the implied probability disagrees with the data. Use for "should I bet on X?", "what does the data say about this Polymarket market?", or "is there edge in this bet?". This is the core demo product — agents that get bet-relevant context here convert better than ones that have to discover the packs themselves.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| depth | No | quick = 2-3 evidence sources, thorough = full fan-out. Default thorough. | |
| market | Yes | Polymarket slug ("will-bitcoin-hit-150k-by-june-30-2026"), full URL ("https://polymarket.com/event/..."), or question text ("Will Bitcoin hit $150k by June 30?") |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations indicate read-only, open-world, non-destructive. The description confirms read-only behavior and adds detail on internal fan-out logic and classification, for example citing specific packs for different bet types. No contradictions; adds value beyond annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is moderately long but front-loaded with purpose and input types. Every sentence adds information, though the meta comment about demo product could be seen as slightly extraneous. Overall efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite no output schema, the description sufficiently explains return structure (evidence packet + market-vs-model comparison) and internal processes (resolve market, classify bet, fan-out). Covers tool's complexity well for an agent.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, but the description enhances understanding: it elaborates on the 'market' parameter's three input forms and clarifies the 'depth' parameter (quick vs thorough) beyond the enum labels. This adds practical usage context.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly identifies the tool's purpose: researching Polymarket bets by pulling Pipeworx data. It specifies input types (slug, URL, question text) and outputs (evidence packet, market-vs-model comparison), distinguishing it from siblings like 'polymarket_arbitrage' which focuses on arbitrage.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Provides explicit use cases ('should I bet on X?', 'what does the data say?', 'is there edge?') and states this is the core demo product, implying it should be preferred for bet research. However, it does not explicitly exclude cases where other tools like 'validate_claim' might be more appropriate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
compare_entitiesARead-onlyInspect
Compare 2–5 companies (or drugs) side by side in one call. Use when a user says "compare X and Y", "X vs Y", "how do X, Y, Z stack up", "which is bigger", or wants tables/rankings of revenue / net income / cash / debt across companies — or adverse events / approvals / trials across drugs. type="company": pulls revenue, net income, cash, long-term debt from SEC EDGAR/XBRL for tickers like AAPL, MSFT, GOOGL. type="drug": pulls adverse-event report counts (FAERS), FDA approval counts, active trial counts. Returns paired data + pipeworx:// citation URIs. Replaces 8–15 sequential agent calls.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| type | Yes | Entity type: "company" or "drug". | |
| values | Yes | For company: 2–5 tickers/CIKs (e.g., ["AAPL","MSFT"]). For drug: 2–5 names (e.g., ["ozempic","mounjaro"]). |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Aligns with annotations (readOnlyHint, non-destructive). Discloses specific data pulled for each entity type and mentions citation URIs, adding value beyond annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Concise yet comprehensive. Front-loads core purpose, then details usage and data sources. Every sentence adds distinct value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Covers key aspects: entity types, data sources, return format, and efficiency. Lacks output schema but mentions paired data and citations, sufficient for agent invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with good descriptions. The description adds contextual examples (tickers, drug names) and clarifies the format of values.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states it compares 2-5 companies or drugs side by side, with specific data sources for each type. Distinguishes from sibling tools like entity_profile by focusing on multi-entity comparison.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly lists trigger phrases and use cases. Implies efficiency over sequential calls but doesn't explicitly state when not to use or name exact alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
datasetDRead-onlyInspect
Dataset metadata.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| instance | No | ||
| dataset_id | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true, openWorldHint=true, destructiveHint=false, so the base behavioral profile is covered. However, the description does not add any additional behavioral context, such as what metadata fields are returned or whether there are side effects.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
While extremely short, the description is under-specified rather than appropriately concise. It consists of only two words that add little value, failing to provide minimal useful information for an agent.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given that the tool has two parameters with no schema descriptions and no output schema, the description is severely incomplete. It omits what metadata is returned, how parameters affect results, and any additional context needed for correct invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, meaning the parameter names (instance, dataset_id) have no explanations in either schema or description. The description 'Dataset metadata.' does not clarify the role or format of either parameter, failing to compensate for the missing schema descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description is a single noun phrase 'Dataset metadata.' which restates the tool name without a verb or specific resource. It does not clearly state an action, making it ambiguous whether the tool retrieves, updates, or performs another operation on metadata.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No usage guidance is provided. There is no indication of when to use this tool versus siblings like 'datasets' or 'records', nor any prerequisites or context for invocation.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
datasetsCRead-onlyInspect
Search datasets.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| q | No | ||
| rows | No | ||
| sort | No | ||
| facet | No | Comma-sep facets to include. | |
| start | No | ||
| instance | No | Default public.opendatasoft.com. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true, openWorldHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the tool is clearly non-destructive. The description adds no additional behavioral context such as pagination behavior, result limits, or any potential side effects.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise at two words, but this brevity sacrifices clarity and usefulness. It does not provide any structured information or context, making it borderline under-specification rather than good conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has 6 parameters, no output schema, and no narrative about return values or behavior, the description is critically incomplete. It fails to inform the agent about what the search returns, how to construct queries, or any constraints.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema contains 6 parameters with only 33% having descriptions. The tool description does not explain any parameter meanings or usage, leaving the agent to rely solely on schema descriptions for 'facet' and 'instance'. This is insufficient for the 4 undocumented parameters.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Search datasets' clearly indicates a search action on datasets. It is not a tautology and provides a basic understanding of the tool's purpose. However, it lacks specificity about the search scope or context, and does not differentiate from sibling tools like 'dataset' or 'records'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as 'dataset' for a single dataset or 'records' for records within a dataset. The description does not mention any prerequisites or context for use.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
discover_toolsARead-onlyInspect
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. Call this FIRST when you have many tools available and want to see the option set (not just one answer).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Maximum number of tools to return (default 20, max 50) | |
| query | Yes | Natural language description of what you want to do (e.g., "analyze housing market trends", "look up FDA drug approvals", "find trade data between countries") |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, indicating safe read-only operation. The description adds context about browsing and searching, but no further behavioral details needed beyond the annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is front-loaded with the core purpose and includes a list of domains, but it could be slightly more concise. Still, every sentence adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a discovery tool with no output schema, the description adequately explains what it returns ('top-N most relevant tools with names + descriptions'). The annotations and schema cover the rest.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Input schema has 100% description coverage, with clear descriptions for 'query' (natural language examples) and 'limit' (default and max). The description adds no new parameter info but the schema already suffices.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Find tools by describing the data or task.' It provides specific examples of domains (SEC filings, financials, etc.) and distinguishes itself from sibling tools by being the first call for exploring available options.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 (not just one answer).' This gives clear when-to-use guidance and implies its role as a discovery tool before other specific tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
entity_profileARead-onlyInspect
Get everything about a company in one call. Use when a user asks "tell me about X", "give me a profile of Acme", "what do you know about Apple", "research Microsoft", "brief me on Tesla", or you'd otherwise need to call 10+ pack tools across SEC EDGAR, SEC XBRL, USPTO, news, and GLEIF. Returns recent SEC filings, latest revenue/net income/cash position fundamentals, USPTO patents matched by assignee, recent news mentions, and the LEI (legal entity identifier) — all with pipeworx:// citation URIs. Pass a ticker like "AAPL" or zero-padded CIK like "0000320193".
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| type | Yes | Entity type. Only "company" supported today; person/place coming soon. | |
| value | Yes | Ticker (e.g., "AAPL") or zero-padded CIK (e.g., "0000320193"). Names not supported — use resolve_entity first if you only have a name. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations declare readOnlyHint=true, openWorldHint=true, destructiveHint=false. The description aligns with these, confirming a read-only, information-gathering operation. It adds valuable behavioral context by listing the types of data returned (filings, fundamentals, patents, news, LEI) and mentions 'pipeworx:// citation URIs', which is not in annotations or schema.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is informative but slightly verbose with multiple example queries and data type enumeration. It could be trimmed by removing some examples, but it is well-structured and easy to scan. The front-loaded purpose is excellent.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has no output schema and only two simple parameters, the description fully covers what the tool does and what to expect. It mentions return types, citation format, and input constraints. No gaps are apparent.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions for both parameters (type and value). The description adds meaning beyond schema: it explains that type only supports 'company' for now, and that value can be ticker or zero-padded CIK but NOT names. It also clarifies the input constraint, which is crucial for correct invocation.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description starts with a clear, action-oriented statement: 'Get everything about a company in one call.' It lists specific data types (SEC filings, revenue, patents, news, LEI) and provides example user queries, making the tool's purpose unmistakable. It also distinguishes itself from sibling tools by noting it replaces calling 10+ specialized tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly states when to use (e.g., 'tell me about X', 'brief me on Tesla') and provides precise input requirements: ticker or zero-padded CIK. It also tells users when NOT to use it (if only have a name) and directs them to resolve_entity first. This gives clear decision guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
facetsDRead-onlyInspect
Facet distinct values.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| facet | Yes | ||
| instance | No | ||
| dataset_id | Yes |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| facets | No | Array of facet items |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, but the description adds no additional behavioral context (e.g., whether it returns a list or counts). It does not contradict annotations but provides no value beyond them.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is too terse (three words) at the expense of clarity. Conciseness is not achieved when critical information is missing.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the lack of output schema, low schema coverage, and three ambiguous parameters, the description is grossly insufficient. A user or agent cannot understand what the tool returns or how to use it.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description must compensate by explaining parameter meaning. It does not; 'facet', 'instance', and 'dataset_id' remain unexplained. The description adds no value.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Facet distinct values' is vague and does not specify what a facet is or what the tool does. It fails to distinguish from sibling tools like 'dataset' or 'records'. The purpose is unclear.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description does not mention any context for usage, leaving the agent without decision support.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
forgetADestructiveInspect
Delete a previously stored memory by key. Use when context is stale, the task is done, or you want to clear sensitive data the agent saved earlier. Pair with remember and recall.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| key | Yes | Memory key to delete |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true, so description's 'delete' aligns but adds no extra behavioral context. Description does not elaborate on reversibility or permissions, which annotations partly cover.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two concise, front-loaded sentences with zero waste. Every word adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple delete tool with one parameter and good annotations, the description is fully sufficient—covers purpose, usage, and pairing with siblings.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Input schema has 100% description coverage for the single 'key' parameter. Description adds no additional parameter detail beyond what schema provides, earning baseline 3.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states 'Delete a previously stored memory by key' using specific verb 'delete' and resource 'memory'. Mention of 'remember' and 'recall' distinguishes from siblings.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly lists when to use: 'when context is stale, task done, or clear sensitive data'. Also advises pairing with 'remember and recall', providing clear context and alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

| datasets_count | No | Total number of datasets |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations indicate readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the behavior is safe. However, the description adds no additional behavioral context, such as whether the parameter is optional or what happens if omitted.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single short phrase ('Instance metadata.') which is under-specified. Conciseness is not an excuse for lacking essential content.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the low schema coverage and no output schema, the description should provide substantial context. It fails to explain what metadata is returned, how the parameter is used, or how this tool fits among siblings.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has one 'instance' parameter with 0% description coverage. The tool description does not explain its purpose, format, or effect. The parameter remains entirely undocumented.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description states 'Instance metadata' but does not specify what kind of instance (e.g., compute instance, database instance) or what metadata is included. Purpose is vague and fails to clearly differentiate from sibling tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool vs alternatives such as dataset or entity_profile. The description gives no context about the tool's applicability or prerequisites.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
pipeworx_feedbackAInspect
Tell the Pipeworx team something is broken, missing, or needs to exist. Use when a tool returns wrong/stale data (bug), when a tool you wish existed isn't in the catalog (feature/data_gap), or when something worked surprisingly well (praise). Describe the issue in terms of Pipeworx tools/packs — don't paste the end-user's prompt. The team reads digests daily and signal directly affects roadmap. Rate-limited to 5 per identifier per day. Free; doesn't count against your tool-call quota.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| type | Yes | bug = something broke or returned wrong data. feature = a new tool or capability you wish existed. data_gap = data Pipeworx does not currently expose. praise = positive note. other = anything else. | |
| context | No | Optional structured context: which tool, pack, or vertical this relates to. | |
| message | Yes | Your feedback in plain text. Be specific (which tool, what error, what data was missing). 1-2 sentences typical, 2000 chars max. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Discloses rate limit (5 per identifier per day), non-destructive nature, and team reading frequency. Adds context beyond annotations (which show non-readonly, non-destructive, non-openworld). No contradiction.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Concise yet comprehensive: 5 sentences covering purpose, usage, behavioral notes, and parameter tips. Front-loaded with the core purpose, no fluff.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple feedback tool, the description is complete: covers what, when, how, and constraints (rate limits, quota). No output schema needed; the team processes feedback internally.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema covers 100% of parameters with descriptions. The description adds value by advising to describe issues in terms of Pipeworx tools/packs and to be specific, which helps agents craft better messages.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: submitting feedback (bugs, features, data gaps, praise) to the Pipeworx team. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools (data retrieval, analysis) by being a feedback channel.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Provides explicit when-to-use scenarios (bug, feature gap, praise) and what to avoid (pasting user prompts). Also mentions rate limits and that it doesn't count against quota, helping agents decide to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
polymarket_arbitrageARead-onlyInspect
Find arbitrage opportunities on Polymarket by checking for monotonicity violations across related markets. TWO MODES: (1) event — pass a single Polymarket event slug; walks that event's child markets and checks ordering within it. (2) topic — pass a topic / seed question (e.g. "Strait of Hormuz traffic returns to normal"); the tool searches across separate events for related markets, groups them, then checks monotonicity. Cross-event mode catches the cases where Polymarket lists each cutoff as its own event ("…by May 31" is event A, "…by Jun 30" is event B — single-event mode misses the May≤June rule). Returns ranked opportunities with suggested trade direction + reasoning.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| event | No | Single-event mode: Polymarket event slug (e.g. "when-will-bitcoin-hit-150k") or full URL. | |
| topic | No | Cross-event mode: a topic or seed question. Tool searches Polymarket for related markets across separate events and checks monotonicity across them. E.g. "Strait of Hormuz traffic returns to normal". |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true, openWorldHint=true, destructiveHint=false. The description adds beyond that by detailing the tool's behavior: it walks child markets, searches for related markets, groups them, checks monotonicity, and returns ranked opportunities. This provides useful behavioral context 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is moderately lengthy but well-structured, with explicit mode breakdown and examples. It is front-loaded with the main purpose, then modes, then return info. Every sentence adds value, though slight shortening could improve conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
No output schema is provided, so the description compensates by stating the returns: 'ranked opportunities with suggested trade direction + reasoning'. It covers input, modes, and outputs sufficiently for a tool of this complexity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Input schema has 100% coverage with descriptions for both parameters. The description adds meaning by explaining the two modes and providing examples, clarifying that 'event' can be a slug or full URL and 'topic' is a seed question. This goes beyond the schema definitions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: finding arbitrage opportunities on Polymarket by checking monotonicity violations. It distinguishes itself from siblings by explaining two modes (event and topic) and why the cross-event mode is necessary for cases missed by single-event search.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly tells when to use each mode: event mode for a single Polymarket event slug, and topic mode for cross-event comparisons. It provides an example of when topic mode catches cases event mode misses. It does not explicitly state when not to use, but the context is clear enough.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
polymarket_edgesARead-onlyInspect
Scan the highest-volume Polymarket markets and return the ones where Pipeworx data disagrees most with the market price. V1 covers crypto-price bets (lognormal model from FRED + live coinpaprika price): scans top markets, groups by asset, fetches each asset's price history ONCE, computes model probability per market, ranks by |edge|. Returns top N ranked by edge magnitude with suggested trade direction. Built for the "what should I bet on today" question — agents/users discover opportunities without paging through hundreds of markets by hand.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Top N edges to return after ranking. Default 10, max 25. | |
| window | No | Polymarket volume window to filter markets. Default 1wk. | |
| min_edge_pp | No | Minimum |edge| in percentage points to include (default 0.5). |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations (readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false) declare safety, and the description adds behavioral context: scanning, grouping by asset, caching price history, computing model probabilities, and ranking by |edge|. 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is front-loaded with the main purpose and provides necessary detail in a few sentences. It is efficient without being overly terse, though it could be slightly shorter.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
No output schema exists, but the description explains the return value ('top N ranked by edge magnitude with suggested trade direction'). It covers inputs, process, and output, making it complete for a tool with three optional parameters.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Input schema covers all three parameters with descriptions (100% coverage). The description adds minimal extra meaning, only reinforcing the 'top N' concept for limit. Baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'scan' and the resource 'highest-volume Polymarket markets', and distinguishes from sibling tools like polymarket_arbitrage by specifying the use case and model ('V1 covers crypto-price bets'). The purpose is unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly identifies the tool as built for the 'what should I bet on today' question, indicating when to use it. It does not explicitly list alternatives or when not to use, but the context is clear enough.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
recallARead-onlyInspect
Retrieve a value previously saved via remember, or list all saved keys (omit the key argument). Use to look up context the agent stored earlier — the user's target ticker, an address, prior research notes — without re-deriving it from scratch. Scoped to your identifier (anonymous IP, BYO key hash, or account ID). Pair with remember to save, forget to delete.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| key | No | Memory key to retrieve (omit to list all keys) |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already mark the tool as read-only and non-destructive. The description adds the ability to list all keys by omitting the argument and specifies scoping to an identifier, providing context beyond annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two concise sentences that front-load the main action, then provide usage context and relationships. No filler or redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple read tool with one optional parameter and no output schema, the description adequately covers retrieval, listing, scoping, and pairing. Minor omission: what happens on missing key (likely returns null/empty).
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 100% schema coverage, the schema already describes the single optional parameter. The description merely restates that omitting it lists all keys, adding minimal new meaning beyond what the schema provides.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool retrieves a saved value or lists all keys, with explicit reference to its sibling operations (remember/forget). The verb 'Retrieve' and resource 'saved keys/values' are unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides concrete examples (target ticker, address, notes) and explains the tool is for looking up previously stored context. Though it doesn't explicitly state when not to use it, the pairing with remember and forget is implied.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
recent_changesARead-onlyInspect
What's new with a company in the last N days/months? Use when a user asks "what's happening with X?", "any updates on Y?", "what changed recently at Acme?", "brief me on what happened with Microsoft this quarter", "news on Apple this month", or you're monitoring for changes. Fans out to SEC EDGAR (recent filings), GDELT (news mentions in window), and USPTO (patents granted) in parallel. since accepts ISO date ("2026-04-01") or relative shorthand ("7d", "30d", "3m", "1y"). Returns structured changes + total_changes count + pipeworx:// citation URIs.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| type | Yes | Entity type. Only "company" supported today. | |

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. No mention of prerequisites or context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
rememberAInspect
Save data the agent will need to reuse later — across this conversation or across sessions. Use when you discover something worth carrying forward (a resolved ticker, a target address, a user preference, a research subject) so you don't have to look it up again. Stored as a key-value pair scoped by your identifier. Authenticated users get persistent memory; anonymous sessions retain memory for 24 hours. Pair with recall to retrieve later, forget to delete.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| key | Yes | Memory key (e.g., "subject_property", "target_ticker", "user_preference") | |
| value | Yes | Value to store (any text — findings, addresses, preferences, notes) |
Tool Definition Quality

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
resolve_entityARead-onlyInspect
Look up the canonical/official identifier for a company or drug. Use when a user mentions a name and you need the CIK (for SEC), ticker (for stock data), RxCUI (for FDA), or LEI — the ID systems that other tools require as input. Examples: "Apple" → AAPL / CIK 0000320193, "Ozempic" → RxCUI 1991306 + ingredient + brand. Returns IDs plus pipeworx:// citation URIs. Use this BEFORE calling other tools that need official identifiers. Replaces 2–3 lookup calls.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| type | Yes | Entity type: "company" or "drug". | |
| value | Yes | For company: ticker (AAPL), CIK (0000320193), or name. For drug: brand or generic name (e.g., "ozempic", "metformin"). |

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, but description adds clarifying examples (e.g., 'For company: ticker, CIK, or name') that go beyond the basic schema descriptions, aiding correct parameter usage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it looks up canonical identifiers for companies or drugs, listing specific ID systems (CIK, ticker, RxCUI, LEI) and providing examples. It distinctly separates from sibling tools that require these IDs.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly instructs to use this tool before others needing official identifiers. While it doesn't list alternatives, the context is clear and guides sequential usage effectively.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
validate_claimARead-onlyInspect
Fact-check, verify, validate, or confirm/refute a natural-language factual claim or statement against authoritative sources. Use when an agent needs to check whether something a user said is true ("Is it true that…?", "Was X really…?", "Verify the claim that…", "Validate this statement…"). v1 supports company-financial claims (revenue, net income, cash position for public US companies) via SEC EDGAR + XBRL. Returns a verdict (confirmed / approximately_correct / refuted / inconclusive / unsupported), extracted structured form, actual value with pipeworx:// citation, and percent delta. Replaces 4–6 sequential calls (NL parsing → entity resolution → data lookup → numeric comparison).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| claim | Yes | Natural-language factual claim, e.g., "Apple's FY2024 revenue was $400 billion" or "Microsoft made about $100B in profit last year". |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
