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 indicate read-only, open-world, idempotent, non-destructive. Description adds: composite fan-out, partial failure degradation, bundlephobia first measurement delay (5-30s), sources_failed reporting. 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?

Description is detailed but every sentence adds value. It front-loads purpose and then elaborates. Could be slightly more structured but remains clear and not redundant.

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 complexity (composite, partial failures, timing), description covers all key aspects: return fields listed (summary block, advisories, links, alternatives), behaviors explained. No missing critical info.

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% with descriptions. Description adds value by noting scoped packages accepted and version defaults to latest, which is beyond schema.

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 it is a composite check for npm packages, combining deps.dev and bundlephobia, with verb 'scan' and resource 'dependency'. It distinguishes from siblings by specifying NPM-only scope and mentioning alternative for other ecosystems.

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?

Explicit usage triggers given ('is X safe / popular / small', 'what does adding lodash cost me'). Exclusions stated: NPM only in v1; other ecosystems fall under deps.dev:version directly. Provides clear when-to-use and when-not.

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.
