Search Within a Source

search_within
Read-onlyIdempotent

Semantic search INSIDE a fetched record. Pass the text you already pulled (e.g. a SEC 10-K body, an article, a long tool result) plus a natural-language query; get back the top-N passages with character offsets and similarity scores. Use when the record is too big to cram into the prompt — search_within saves context, returns only the passages that matter, and every passage carries an offset so the agent can verify a verbatim quote. Pairs with ask_pipeworx_grounded: fetch with the gateway, ground over the relevant passages instead of the whole document. BGE-base-en embeddings + cosine over 500-char overlapping windows; cap is 200K chars (longer inputs are truncated and flagged).

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
textYesThe document text to search inside (max ~200K chars).
limitNoMax passages to return (1-20, default 5).
queryYesNatural-language query — what passages do you want? E.g. "supply-chain risk", "fiscal year 2024 revenue", "drug interactions with warfarin".

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already provide readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, etc. The description adds specific behavioral details: BGE-base-en embeddings with cosine similarity over 500-char overlapping windows, a 200K char cap with truncation flag, and that every passage includes an offset for verification. 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.

Conciseness5/5

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

Two short paragraphs, first sentence immediately conveys the main purpose. Every sentence adds useful information (usage guidance, technical details, pairing). Zero fluff or repetition of schema details.

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 no output schema, the description covers return value contents (passages with offsets, similarity scores) and explains the internal mechanism (BGE-based, windowing). It also mentions limits and truncation behavior, and pairs with a sibling tool for grounding. Complete for agent understanding.

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 description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds value beyond schema by explaining the embedding technique and that query is natural-language. It also reiterates character limits and default values. This extra context justifies a 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's function: 'Semantic search INSIDE a fetched record.' It specifies the action (search), resource (text inside a record), and output (top-N passages with offsets and scores). It distinguishes from siblings by contrasting with fetching whole documents and noting pairing with ask_pipeworx_grounded.

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?

The description explicitly tells when to use the tool: 'Use when the record is too big to cram into the prompt — search_within saves context.' It also mentions a companion tool, ask_pipeworx_grounded, for grounding. Lacks explicit 'when not to use' statements, but implied by context.

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.
