Read-onlyIdempotent

"What's new with X" / "latest on Y" / "what happened to Z this week / month / quarter" / "updates on Acme" / "news on Tesla recently" / "what's happening with Apple" — change feed for a company in the last N days/weeks/months in ONE parallel call. Fans out to SEC EDGAR (filings since since), GDELT→GNews fallback (news mentions in window — GDELT preferred, GNews when rate-limited or 5xx), USPTO (patents granted; PatentsView API sunset May 2025 so this soft-fails until reactivated). since accepts ISO date ("2026-04-01") or relative shorthand ("7d", "30d", "3m", "1y"). Returns structured changes[] grouped by source + total_changes count + pipeworx:// citation URIs. Use entity_profile instead when you want the static profile (filings + fundamentals + LEI + patents) regardless of window.

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations indicate readOnly, idempotent, nondestructive. Description adds detailed behavior: fans out to SEC, GDELT/GNews fallback, USPTO soft-fail, and return structure (changes grouped by source, total_changes, pipeworx URIs). 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.

Conciseness5/5

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

Concise yet dense: examples at start, then sources, fallback, soft-fail, parameter guidance, return structure, and sibling comparison. No wasted words, well organized.

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 (multi-source, fallback, soft-fail, no output schema), the description covers all necessary context: sources, fallback behavior, date formats, return shape, and when to use alternative tool.

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 all three parameters with descriptions. Description adds extra guidance: relative date shorthand for `since`, ticker/CIK examples for `value`, and that `type` is only 'company'. Adds meaningful value 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?

The description clearly states this tool provides a change feed ('What's new with X') for a company in the last N days, fanning out to multiple sources. It distinguishes from sibling `entity_profile` which is for static profile.

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?

Provides explicit use cases ('What's new', 'latest on', etc.) and directs agents to use `entity_profile` for static profile. Also advises on using relative dates like '30d' for typical monitoring.

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 overlap in purpose: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_grounded, ask_pipeworx_beta, and deep_research all perform similar data lookups with slight variations. Prediction market tools (bet_research, polymarket_arbitrage, polymarket_edges) also overlap. Only the three PDBe-specific tools are clearly distinct, but overall the set is confusing.

Naming Consistency1/5

Tool names follow no consistent pattern: some are verb_noun (ask_pipeworx, get_molecules), others are noun_verb (ai_visibility_check), or have mixed conventions (generate_llms_txt, uniprot_mappings). The variety of verbs (ask, bet, compare, discover, generate, get, list, recall, remember) makes it hard to predict tool names.

Tool Count2/5

With 34 tools, the server is overstuffed for a single domain. It mixes PDBe-specific tools (3) with a large set of general-purpose data tools, prediction market tools, subscriptions, and memory tools. This bloat suggests the server should be split into focused services.

Completeness1/5

For the stated PDBe domain, only three tools exist (get_molecules, get_summary, uniprot_mappings), missing essential operations like search, download, or advanced queries. The server's overall purpose is unclear, and it feels like a random collection of tools rather than a coherent API.
