Compare Entities

compare_entities
Read-onlyIdempotent

"Compare X and Y" / "X vs Y" / "X versus Y" / "which is bigger / better / larger / more profitable" / "rank these companies" / "head to head" — side-by-side comparison of 2–5 companies or drugs in ONE parallel call. ALWAYS PREFER over sequential single-pack lookups when comparing entities. type="company" pulls LATEST 10-K revenue + net income + cash + long-term debt from SEC EDGAR/XBRL (off-calendar fiscal years handled correctly — AAPL Sep, NVDA Jan, etc.). type="drug" pulls FAERS adverse-event counts, FDA approval counts, active trial counts. Results sorted by primary metric so "largest" / "most" / "biggest" reads off the top of the response. Returns paired data + pipeworx:// citation URIs per entity. Replaces 8–15 sequential lookups.

TDQS

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare read-only and idempotent. Description adds details on data sources (SEC EDGAR/XBRL, FAERS), off-calendar fiscal year handling, sorting by primary metric, and return format with citation URIs. No contradictions.

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?

Concise at ~120 words, uses bullet-like structure with quoted trigger phrases. Front-loaded with core purpose, every sentence adds value. No redundant or missing information.

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?

Given low complexity (2 params, no output schema) and rich annotations, description covers data sources, return format, sorting, and efficiency gain. Completely sufficient for agent to understand usage and outcomes.

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%, so baseline 3. Description adds value by explaining what each type pulls (company: financials; drug: adverse events, trials) and provides concrete examples for the values parameter. Reinforces constraints with examples.

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 performs side-by-side comparison of 2–5 companies or drugs, with specific trigger phrases. It distinguishes from sibling tools like entity_profile by explicitly advocating over sequential lookups.

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?

Explicitly states when to use (comparisons like 'which is bigger') and warns against sequential lookups. Provides examples of triggers and emphasizes preference over alternatives.

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

B3.4/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

The tool set has several near-duplicate entries (ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, ask_pipeworx_grounded; five polymarket_* tools), and the server name implies topography while most tools serve unrelated data lookups, making it hard to select the right tool for a task.

Naming Consistency3/5

Most tool names use snake_case and a verb-first style, but there are notable exceptions like 'datasets', 'dem', and 'forget', and the 'pipeworx' prefix is applied inconsistently (pipeworx_feedback, pipeworx_trending vs. ask_pipeworx). The pattern is readable but not fully uniform.

Tool Count2/5

With 34 tools, the count is excessive for a server named Opentopography, especially since only 3 tools (datasets, dem, point_elevation) relate to the implied domain. The bulk of tools belong to a general-purpose data and prediction-market service, creating a severe scope mismatch.

Completeness2/5

For the implied topography domain, the surface is severely incomplete: only dataset listing, a raster fetch, and a point elevation lookup are present, missing expected operations like elevation profiles, point cloud access, or data processing. For the broader Pipeworx domain, coverage is broad but this does not match the server's stated focus.
