Scan Dependency

scan_dependency
Read-onlyIdempotent

Composite "should I add this npm package to my project" check in ONE call — fans out across deps.dev (license + advisories + version history) and bundlephobia (gzipped/minified bundle size, dependency count, ESM/tree-shake support). Use whenever an agent asks "is X safe / popular / small" or "what does adding lodash cost me". Returns a summary block (is_latest, license, published_at, advisory_count, bundle_kb_min, bundle_kb_gz, dependency_count, has_esm, tree_shakeable), per-advisory detail, links, and a list of recent alternative versions. NPM ecosystem only in v1; PyPI / Maven / Cargo / Go fall under deps.dev:version directly. Partial failures degrade gracefully — bundlephobia's first measurement on a new version can take 5-30s; sources_failed will list it if it times out, the rest still returns.

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

The description adds significant behavioral context beyond annotations: partial failure handling, timing (5-30s for bundlephobia first measurement), and graceful degradation with 'sources_failed' listing. 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.

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is informative but slightly lengthy. However, it is well-structured with key points front-loaded and no redundant sentences. Could be more concise but still effective.

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?

Despite no output schema, the description thoroughly explains what the tool returns (summary block, per-advisory detail, links, alternative versions). It also covers failure modes and timing, making it complete for the agent.

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 is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds value by mentioning scoped packages ('@types/node' accepted) and implying default behavior, but the schema already states defaults. A small additional benefit.

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 it performs a composite check for npm packages covering license, advisories, version history, and bundle size. It distinguishes from siblings by specifying the NPM ecosystem and mentioning alternatives for other ecosystems.

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?

Explicitly states when to use: 'Use whenever an agent asks "is X safe / popular / small" or "what does adding lodash cost me". Also clearly denotes when not to use: 'NPM ecosystem only in v1; PyPI / Maven / Cargo / Go fall under deps.dev:version directly'.

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

A3.6/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Several tools have overlapping purposes: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta (currently identical), ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research, and validate_claim all handle routed research queries, while ai_visibility_check and scan_competitor_ai_presence overlap directly and the six Polymarket tools form a dense, easily confused cluster. The descriptions are detailed, but an agent will frequently struggle to pick the right tool among near-duplicate research and prediction-market options.

Naming Consistency3/5

Names are readable and mostly snake_case, with useful prefixes like ask_pipeworx_ and polymarket_. However, conventions are mixed: some are verb_noun (search_genes, get_protein, generate_llms_txt), some are bare verbs (remember, recall, forget), and some are noun phrases (entity_profile, recent_changes, top_tissues). There is no single predictable pattern.

Tool Count2/5

34 tools is above the 25+ threshold for a heavy, hard-to-navigate set, and most of them are not related to the server's stated 'Protein Atlas' identity. Only three tools actually concern proteins, while the rest form a general data-research, Polymarket, memory, and subscription toolkit that feels like several servers merged into one.

Completeness2/5

For a Protein Atlas server, the surface is severely incomplete: only search_genes, get_protein, and top_tissues cover HPA, leaving pathology, cell-line, single-cell, blood, and other major HPA dimensions unaddressed. If the intended domain is instead the broader Pipeworx data router, the protein tools are an odd vestige and the completeness story is still muddled by overlapping meta-tools.
