Discover Tools

discover_tools
Read-onlyIdempotent

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, and full input schemas (with curated examples) — each result is ready to call directly, no second schema lookup needed. Call this FIRST when you have many tools available and want to see the option set (not just one answer).

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations indicate read and idempotent. Description adds that results include full input schemas with curated examples, ready to call directly, no second lookup needed. Consistent 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?

Description is packed with useful information and front-loaded with the main action. Slightly lengthy but each sentence adds value.

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?

Given high schema coverage and no output schema, description adequately explains what to expect: top-N tools with names, descriptions, schemas, examples, ready to call. Covers main use case.

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 100%. Description explains query parameter aliases (task, q, search, description) and limit default/max, adding meaning beyond the 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 'Find tools by describing the data or task' and provides extensive domain examples. It distinguishes this meta-tool from sibling search tools by emphasizing it returns ready-to-call tool schemas.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Explicitly advises 'Call this FIRST when you have many tools available and want to see the option set (not just one answer).' Provides clear context for when to use, though no explicit when-not-to-use.

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

B3.3/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Many tools have overlapping purposes: ask_pipeworx_beta is a literal duplicate of ask_pipeworx, and ai_visibility_check/scans overlap with each other while the many prediction-market and edge tools cover similar ground. The verbose descriptions help somewhat, but an agent would frequently struggle to pick the right tool.

Naming Consistency2/5

Naming is inconsistent: some tools use verb_noun (get_package, list_versions), others noun_verb (ai_visibility_check, bet_research), and several are brand-specific (pipeworx_feedback, pipeworx_trending) with no uniform verb style. The mixed patterns make it hard to predict tool names.

Tool Count1/5

35 tools is far too many for a server named Packagist: only 4-5 tools relate to the PHP/Composer registry while the vast majority concern Pipeworx data lookups, Polymarket analysis, and memory utilities. The scope is severely mismatched with the server's name and apparent purpose.

Completeness2/5

For a Packagist registry server, the core read operations (search, get, list versions, stats) are present, but the server is cluttered with unrelated functionality and offers no package management actions. The tool set is not complete for any single, coherent domain, making it feel like two different servers merged into one.
