AI Visibility Check

ai_visibility_check
Read-onlyIdempotent

Probe one or more LLMs for what they know about a business / brand / product / topic and score visibility (0-100) per model. Default model is Workers AI Llama-3.3-70b (free); pass _apiKey to also probe Anthropic (BYO key — you pay Anthropic directly for those calls). Returns per-model {score, confidence, signals, raw_response} + a combined view. Useful for AI-marketing audits, pre-launch brand checks, competitive monitoring.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
entityYesThe thing to ask about. Brand/business name, product name, person, or topic. E.g. "Pipeworx", "OpenInvoice", "Acme Corp pricing".
modelsNoWhich models to probe. Supported: "workers-ai" (free default), "anthropic" (requires _apiKey). Omit for just workers-ai.
_apiKeyNoOptional Anthropic API key (sk-ant-...) — only needed if "anthropic" is in models. Passed straight through to api.anthropic.com.
contextNoOptional: a phrase locating the entity (e.g. "Boston restaurant", "B2B SaaS"). Helps disambiguate common names.

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint. The description adds behavioral context: probes one or more LLMs, defaults to workers-ai, passes _apiKey to Anthropic directly, and returns per-model fields. It also notes that Anthropic calls are billed separately, which is useful beyond annotations.

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?

Four front-loaded sentences with zero waste. First sentence states core function. Subsequent sentences add key details (default, optional Anthropic, return structure, use cases). Information density is high and well-structured.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given 4 required parameters (1 required), no output schema, and moderate complexity, the description covers usage, parameter roles, return format (per-model fields + combined view), and pricing implications. Lacks details on potential errors or rate limits, but these are acceptable gaps for a simple probe 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 coverage is 100%. The description adds value: explains that 'workers-ai' is free, '_apiKey' is only needed for Anthropic, 'models' can be omitted for default, and 'context' disambiguates. Examples like 'Pipeworx' and 'Boston restaurant' enrich understanding 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 uses specific verbs ('Probe', 'score') and identifies the resource ('LLMs') and output ('visibility (0-100) per model'). It clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like 'scan_competitor_ai_presence' by focusing on probing LLMs for brand awareness, not general presence scanning.

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 usage contexts: 'AI-marketing audits, pre-launch brand checks, competitive monitoring.' Explicitly states when to use Anthropic (requires _apiKey) and that default is free. Does not list exclusions or alternatives, but the scenarios are well-defined.

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

A3.5/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Several tools are near-duplicates (ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, ask_pipeworx_grounded), and there are overlapping clusters among the polymarket_* tools, research tools (deep_research, entity_profile, compare_entities, recent_changes), and AI-visibility tools (ai_visibility_check vs scan_competitor_ai_presence). The detailed descriptions help, but an agent selecting among these could easily pick the wrong one.

Naming Consistency2/5

Snake_case is used consistently, but the naming pattern is otherwise mixed: some tools are verb_noun (validate_claim, suggest_questions), some are bare nouns (entity_profile, polymarket_edges), some are verbs without objects (remember, forget, ask_pipeworx), and only the five QuickBooks tools share a qb_ prefix. This creates multiple naming ecosystems with no unified convention.

Tool Count2/5

At 36 tools, this is well above the 25+ threshold for 'too many'. More importantly, the server is named Quickbooks but only 5 tools are accounting-related; the other 31 are unrelated Pipeworx data, prediction-market, memory, and meta tools, making the count both excessive and off-purpose.

Completeness2/5

For the QuickBooks domain named by the server, the surface is read-only: get customer, get invoice, list accounts, list invoices, and generic query. There are no create, update, delete, payment, bill, deposit, or report operations, which is a significant gap. For the broader Pipeworx data domain it is fairly complete, but that domain is not what the server name promises.
