Recall

recall
Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve a value previously saved via remember, or list all saved keys (omit the key argument). Use to look up context the agent stored earlier — the user's target ticker, an address, prior research notes — without re-deriving it from scratch. Scoped to your identifier (anonymous IP, BYO key hash, or account ID). Pair with remember to save, forget to delete.

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Adds scoping details (anonymous IP, BYO key hash, account ID) beyond annotations. Annotations already cover read-only and idempotent, so description complements well.

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?

Three concise sentences, front-loaded with the core action, no wasted words.

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?

Fully explains behavior, scoping, and relationships with sibling tools for a simple read operation with one optional parameter.

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?

Schema coverage is 100% and description echoes schema's parameter explanation ('omit the key argument to list all keys'). No additional semantic depth needed.

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?

Clearly states the verb (retrieve/list) and resource (previously saved values/keys). Explicitly distinguishes from siblings 'remember' and 'forget' by naming them.

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?

Provides clear guidance on when to use (look up context stored earlier) and pairs with remember/forget. Lacks explicit when-not, but context is sufficient.

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

A3.8/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Several tools have heavily overlapping purposes, notably ask_pipeworx vs ask_pipeworx_beta vs ask_pipeworx_grounded, and the cluster of polymarket tools covers adjacent prediction-market analysis territory. The PomBase-specific tools are distinct, but the overall set creates real selection ambiguity.

Naming Consistency3/5

Most names follow a readable snake_case style and many use verb-first patterns, but there is notable mixing: ask_pipeworx is a brand-style exception, entity_profile and polymarket_arbitrage are noun-first, and remember/recall/forget form an inconsistent trio. Not chaotic, but not a clean predictable convention.

Tool Count2/5

33 tools is excessive for a server named Pombase, where only get_gene and get_reference actually serve that domain. Even as a broad data-research server, the count is above the 25-tool threshold and includes many auxiliary utilities that feel bolted on rather than part of a focused surface.

Completeness2/5

The PomBase-specific coverage is severely thin: only systematic-ID gene lookup and PubMed-ID reference lookup, with no gene-name search, annotations browsing, phenotype data, or sequence access. The broader Pipeworx surface is extensive, but for the apparent Pombase purpose, agents will frequently hit dead ends.
