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.

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint=false. The description adds useful behavioral details: bundlephobia first measurement can take 5-30s, and sources_failed lists failures. 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.

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is dense and front-loaded with purpose, but slightly verbose. Every sentence adds value, though it could be tightened without losing clarity.

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 tool's complexity (multiple sources, partial failures, return summary), the description covers key aspects: return structure, fallback behavior, and timing. No output schema exists, but the description compensates.

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%, already describing both parameters. The description adds that version defaults to latest and scoped packages are accepted, but these are minor additions beyond the 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 the tool's purpose as a composite check for deciding whether to add an npm package, covering license, advisories, version history, bundle size, and tree-shake support. It distinguishes itself from the fallback deps.dev:version tool 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 tells when to use: 'whenever an agent asks "is X safe / popular / small"'. Also notes NPM-only in v1, and mentions graceful partial failure handling.

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

A4/5.0
Disambiguation3/5

Several tools have clear functional boundaries, but there is meaningful overlap at the top level: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, and ask_pipeworx_grounded share one routing pipeline, and ask_pipeworx_beta is currently identical to ask_pipeworx. The six polymarket_* tools also form a dense family where an agent must read long descriptions to distinguish arbitrage scanning from edge detection from fill-risk evaluation.

Naming Consistency4/5

Names are uniformly lowercase snake_case and mostly follow verb_noun or domain-prefix conventions, which makes the set much more predictable than its count suggests. Minor deviations exist: ask_pipeworx variants are product-noun phrases, polymarket_edges is a noun phrase rather than a verb-led tool, and pairs like polymarket_edges vs polymarket_edge_tracker are easy to misread.

Tool Count2/5

With 31 tools, this server is above the 25+ threshold and feels overloaded for a single MCP surface. It mixes broad data research, prediction-market analysis, memory, subscriptions, feedback, and niche utilities like generate_llms_txt, so the set is more like several related servers merged together.

Completeness4/5

The core workflow is well covered: discovery, single-answer routing, grounded verification, deep research, entity resolution, comparison, change tracking, subscription lifecycle, and even memory primitives. Missing are minor lifecycle refinements such as updating an existing subscription, and the number of overlapping entry points makes it slightly harder to guarantee the agent will always choose the intended path.
