Ask Pipeworx

ask_pipeworx
Read-onlyIdempotent

PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for questions about current or historical data: SEC filings, FDA drug data, FRED/BLS economic statistics, government records, USPTO patents, ATTOM real estate, weather, clinical trials, news, stocks, crypto, sports, academic papers, or anything requiring authoritative structured data with citations. Routes the question to the right one of 5,798 tools across 1517 verified sources, fills arguments, returns the structured answer with stable pipeworx:// citation URIs. Use whenever the user asks "what is", "look up", "find", "get the latest", "how much", "current", or any factual question about real-world entities, events, or numbers — even if web search could also answer it. Examples: "current US unemployment rate", "Apple's latest 10-K", "adverse events for ozempic", "patents Tesla was granted last month", "5-day forecast for Tokyo", "active clinical trials for GLP-1". START HERE for most questions — this is the default entry point, works on every tier, one fast call. Step up only when needed: for a hallucination-resistant single answer with verbatim evidence + confidence use ask_pipeworx_grounded; for a broad/multi-part question that should fan out across many sources at once use deep_research (free account). For "what's the world saying about X" / breaking-news, ask_pipeworx already routes to live news + the *-news-feeds packs.

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint=false. The description adds meaningful behavior beyond that: question routing, automatic argument filling, structured answer format, and stable citation URIs. No contradiction exists between description and 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?

The description is long but front-loaded with the key decision rule ('PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH') and then follows a logical structure: domains, mechanism, trigger phrases, examples, and sibling alternatives. Some lists are dense and slightly repetitive, but nearly every sentence contributes to correct tool selection and invocation.

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 the simple free-text input and the absence of an output schema, the description is highly complete: it explains what the tool returns, when to use it, when to use alternatives, and gives concrete examples. An agent has enough context to invoke this tool confidently and route edge cases to the appropriate sibling.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The input schema provides 100% coverage of the single logical parameter, including aliases (q, text, input, query, prompt, question). The description adds helpful example queries, but these mostly illustrate usage rather than providing new parameter-level semantics beyond what the schema already states.

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 what the tool does: it routes questions to 5,798 tools across 1,517 verified sources, fills arguments, and returns structured answers with stable pipeworx:// citation URIs. This goes well beyond the tool name and title, and it differentiates ask_pipeworx from specialized siblings by presenting it as the default starting point.

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?

The description explicitly says 'PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH' and gives concrete trigger phrases like 'what is', 'look up', 'find', 'get the latest', and 'current'. It also names alternatives: deep_research for robust multi-source reports, ask_pipeworx_grounded for citations/grounding, and ask_pipeworx_beta or bet_research for breaking news.

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

A4.1/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Every tool has a clearly distinct purpose, even within the same domain (e.g., ask_pipeworx vs ask_pipeworx_grounded vs ask_pipeworx_beta are differentiated by groundedness/beta status; polymarket_edges vs polymarket_arbitrage vs polymarket_fill_risk each target discovery vs arbitrage vs execution risk). The descriptions are highly detailed, eliminating ambiguity about when to use each.

Naming Consistency4/5

All tool names use snake_case consistently, and most follow a verb-first pattern (ask_, compare_, discover_, search_, validate_), but a few are noun-first (entity_profile, polymarket_edges, recent_alerts). The style is readable and predictable, though not perfectly uniform in the verb_noun convention.

Tool Count2/5

With 37 tools, the server is heavily over-scoped, especially given the 'Pharma Intel' name that suggests a focused pharma domain. Many tools are general-purpose (prediction markets, memory, subscription management, feedback) unrelated to the server's apparent purpose, making it feel like a grab bag rather than a cohesive set.

Completeness4/5

The pharma-specific tools cover drug profiles, safety, pipeline scans, catalysts, indication landscapes, and sponsor diligence – a solid lifecycle coverage. The broader data/query/prediction-market tools also feel complete for their respective sub-domains. The only minor gaps are niche operations (e.g., updating a subscription), but these are not critical to the core workflows.
