Scan Dependency

scan_dependency
Read-onlyIdempotent

Composite "should I add this npm package to my project" check in ONE call — fans out across deps.dev (license + advisories + version history) and bundlephobia (gzipped/minified bundle size, dependency count, ESM/tree-shake support). Use whenever an agent asks "is X safe / popular / small" or "what does adding lodash cost me". Returns a summary block (is_latest, license, published_at, advisory_count, bundle_kb_min, bundle_kb_gz, dependency_count, has_esm, tree_shakeable), per-advisory detail, links, and a list of recent alternative versions. NPM ecosystem only in v1; PyPI / Maven / Cargo / Go fall under deps.dev:version directly. Partial failures degrade gracefully — bundlephobia's first measurement on a new version can take 5-30s; sources_failed will list it if it times out, the rest still returns.

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already indicate readOnly, openWorld, idempotent, non-destructive. The description adds that partial failures degrade gracefully, mentions potential 5-30s delay from bundlephobia, and explains the sources_failed field. 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.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is comprehensive and front-loaded with purpose, but slightly verbose (multiple clauses). It could be tightened without losing clarity, but still good structure.

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

Completeness5/5

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

No output schema, but the description fully explains the return fields, including summary block, advisory detail, links, and alternative versions. This is complete for a complex tool with multiple data sources.

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 covers both parameters with descriptions. The description adds that scoped packages are accepted for package and that version defaults to latest, which adds value beyond the schema. Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3, but additional context brings it to 4.

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 the tool is a composite check for npm packages, combining deps.dev and bundlephobia data, and explicitly answers questions about safety, popularity, and size. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like deps.dev:version.

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 explicitly states when to use it (agent asks about safety/popularity/size) and when not to (non-NPM ecosystems, which fall under deps.dev:version directly), providing clear guidance and alternatives.

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

A3.5/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Several tool clusters have unclear boundaries: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, ask_pipeworx_grounded, and deep_research all route questions across the same 5,756-tool catalog, and ask_pipeworx_beta is explicitly identical to ask_pipeworx right now. The polymarket_* family also overlaps heavily (edges, arbitrage, fill_risk, kalshi_spread all surface tradeable discrepancies), and entity_profile/compare_entities/recent_changes all fan out to overlapping SEC/news/patent sources. Descriptions are detailed, but the set contains intentional near-duplicates that make selection genuinely ambiguous.

Naming Consistency2/5

Naming follows no single convention: get_drivers/get_laps/get_meetings/get_sessions use verb_noun, polymarket_arbitrage/polymarket_edges are noun-phrase domain prefixes, pipeworx_feedback/pipeworx_trending use a vendor prefix, remember/recall/forget are bare verbs, and ask_pipeworx variants mix with action phrases like discover_tools, deep_research, and validate_claim. The inconsistency makes it harder to predict related tool names.

Tool Count2/5

35 tools is heavy, and the count is severely mismatched to the server name 'Openf1': only 4 of 35 tools (get_drivers, get_laps, get_meetings, get_sessions) are actually F1-related, while the other 31 are a general-purpose Pipeworx data/prediction-market platform. The number itself could be reasonable for a broad data hub, but for an F1 server it is bloated with unrelated functionality.

Completeness2/5

For the stated F1 domain, the surface is severely incomplete: it covers meetings, sessions, drivers, and laps but lacks race results, qualifying results, standings, pit stops, or constructor data — major gaps for any F1 use case. The Pipeworx side is far more complete (query, research, entities, verification, memory, subscriptions), but that completeness doesn't serve the server's apparent purpose.
