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.

A3.8/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false). The description adds genuinely useful behavioral context beyond annotations: it routes to 5,798 tools across 1,517 sources, fills arguments automatically, and returns structured answers with stable pipeworx:// citation URIs. No contradiction with annotations exists.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

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

The description is front-loaded with the key directive and information-dense throughout, but it is verbose and contains redundancy: the 'even if web search could also answer it' caveat appears twice, and the domain list plus trigger-phrase list together make the text overlong. The final breaking-news sentence is useful but awkwardly appended.

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

Completeness3/5

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

For a complex router tool with no output schema, the description carries the burden of explaining return values and only says 'returns the structured answer with stable pipeworx:// citation URIs' without any shape detail. It also ignores the close sibling variants ask_pipeworx_beta and ask_pipeworx_grounded, leaving tool-selection ambiguity for an agent browsing this sibling set.

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 real value by illustrating the question parameter's semantics through trigger phrases ('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'). This teaches the agent what kinds of natural-language inputs are appropriate beyond the schema's terse 'Alias for question' notes.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a specific verb+resource: asking Pipeworx a factual question, with explicit domain coverage (SEC, FDA, FRED/BLS, patents, real estate, weather, clinical trials, news, stocks, crypto, sports, academic papers). It clearly distinguishes the tool from web search, but does not differentiate it from sibling variants ask_pipeworx_beta and ask_pipeworx_grounded, which an agent cannot tell apart based on this text.

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?

Extensive when-to-use guidance is provided: 'PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH', 'Use whenever the user asks...', trigger phrases ('what is', 'look up', 'find', 'get the latest', 'how much', 'current'), and six concrete examples. The web-search alternative is explicitly named, but there are no when-not-to-use exclusions or routing guidance relative to the ask_pipeworx_beta/ask_pipeworx_grounded siblings.

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

B3.1/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Many tools have overlapping research purposes (ask_pipeworx, deep_research, ask_pipeworx_grounded) and multiple bet-related tools (bet_research, polymarket_arbitrage, polymarket_edges). Reactome-specific tools are few but mixed in with unrelated tools, causing ambiguity.

Naming Consistency2/5

Tool names are inconsistent: some snake_case (ask_pipeworx, deep_research), some camelCase (generate_llms_txt, list_subscriptions), and some mixed (pipeworx_feedback, poly market_arbitrage). No uniform pattern.

Tool Count2/5

35 tools is excessive for a Reactome server, as only a handful are Reactome-specific. Many tools are unrelated (e.g., bet_research, compare_entities), making the tool count feel bloated and unfocused.

Completeness2/5

The Reactome-specific tools cover basic pathway lookups but miss key operations like reactions, complexes, or advanced queries. The server's completeness for the Reactome domain is poor, diluted by many non-Reactome tools.
