Ask Pipeworx

ask_pipeworx
Read-onlyIdempotent

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 5,798 tools across 1517 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". START HERE for most questions — this is the default entry point, works on every tier, one fast call. Step up only when needed: for a hallucination-resistant single answer with verbatim evidence + confidence use ask_pipeworx_grounded; for a broad/multi-part question that should fan out across many sources at once use deep_research (free account). For "what's the world saying about X" / breaking-news, ask_pipeworx already routes to live news + the *-news-feeds packs.

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and non-destructive behavior. The description adds useful behavioral context: it fills arguments automatically, routes across many sources, and emits stable pipeworx:// citation URIs. No contradiction with annotations.

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 most important guidance and uses examples effectively. However, the final routing sentence is dense and slightly convoluted with phrases like 'ask_pipeworx_grounded' and '*-news-feeds packs,' which reduces clarity slightly.

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?

The description covers what the tool does, when to prefer it, which sibling tools to use instead, and what output to expect (structured answer with citations), compensating for the missing output schema. It does not discuss failure behavior, but that is not a critical gap for this read-only routing tool.

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%, so the schema already documents the 'question' parameter and aliases. The description adds many examples and question types, but it does not meaningfully extend the per-parameter semantics beyond what the schema states.

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 a specific verb and resource: 'Routes the question to the right one of 5,798 tools across 1517 verified sources' and 'returns the structured answer with stable pipeworx:// citation URIs.' It also names concrete domains and distinguishes itself from siblings like ask_pipeworx_grounded and deep_research.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description opens with 'PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH' and gives explicit trigger phrases ('what is', 'look up', 'find', 'get the latest', 'how much', 'current') plus examples. It also names alternatives: use ask_pipeworx_grounded for a single grounded answer and deep_research for broad/multi-part questions.

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

A4.1/5.0
Disambiguation3/5

The set includes three nearly-identical ask_pipeworx variants (base, beta, grounded) that differ only subtly, and deep_research overlaps with ask_pipeworx for multi-part queries. Several company/prediction tools also share adjacent purposes (entity_profile vs recent_changes vs compare_entities; polymarket_arbitrage vs polymarket_edges), though detailed descriptions help. Overall, an agent could mis-select between these overlapping tools.

Naming Consistency4/5

Most tools follow a verb_noun or consistent prefix pattern (opendosm_*, polymarket_*), and the ask_pipeworx family is internally consistent. However, a few are noun phrases (entity_profile, ai_visibility_check, recent_alerts) and some verbs aren't uniform (list_datasets vs dataset_meta vs get_dataset). The mixture is readable but not fully consistent.

Tool Count2/5

34 tools is well above the typical focused server range and includes a clearly redundant experimental variant (ask_pipeworx_beta) plus many loosely-related utility functions (memory, subscriptions, dependency scanning, llms.txt generation). While the broad scope justifies some size, the count feels excessive for the 'Opendosm My' name, which suggests a narrower Malaysian-statistics focus.

Completeness4/5

For the apparent overarching goal of a multi-domain research/query platform, the surface is quite complete: data lookup, deep research, entity comparison, claim verification, prediction-market analysis, memory, and subscriptions are all covered. The Malaysian OpenDOSM component itself has list/meta/get lifecycle. Minor gaps (e.g., no direct dataset search beyond curated lists, no way to execute arbitrary Pipeworx tools directly) are workable.
