Tool Definition Quality
Average 4.5/5 across 33 of 33 tools scored. Lowest: 2.5/5.
Most tools have distinct purposes, but there is some overlap between ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_grounded, and deep_research, all of which query data sources. However, the detailed descriptions clearly differentiate them (e.g., grounded mode for high-stakes with refusal, deep_research for multi-faceted questions). Similarly, bet_research and polymarket_edges both analyze prediction markets but focus on different aspects. The overlap is manageable.
Naming is inconsistent: most tools use snake_case (e.g., ai_visibility_check, compare_entities), but some are single words (get, search, remember) or use different patterns (subscribe, unsubscribe). This mix of conventions is noticeable but still readable and functional.
33 tools is on the higher side but reasonable given the server's broad scope (company research, prediction markets, data queries, memory, subscriptions). Each tool has a specific role, and the count reflects the comprehensive feature set without being overwhelming.
The tool set covers major domains thoroughly: company financials, prediction markets, economic data, memory, and subscriptions. There are minor gaps, like a dedicated drug profile tool (covered via ask_pipeworx) and no direct weather tool (also via ask_pipeworx), but these are addressed by the meta-query tools. Overall, the surface is well-rounded.

| time_taken | No | API response time in milliseconds |
| number_of_results | No | Total number of matching candidates |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive behavior. The description adds that the match is fuzzy and returns confidence scores, which complements the annotations without contradiction.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two short sentences with no redundant information. Every word serves a purpose, making it efficient and front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple tool with one parameter and an output schema, the description covers purpose and output adequately. No missing information needed for correct invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, so description must compensate. It clarifies that 'text' is an affiliation string for fuzzy matching, which adds meaning beyond the schema. However, it does not detail format or constraints beyond schema examples.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses specific verbs ('match') and resource ('affiliation-string'), and specifies output ('candidates with confidence scores'). It clearly distinguishes from siblings like 'resolve_entity' by focusing on fuzzy matching of affiliation strings.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description implies it's for affiliation matching but does not provide exclusions or comparisons to sibling tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
ai_visibility_checkAI Visibility CheckARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
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.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| entity | Yes | The thing to ask about. Brand/business name, product name, person, or topic. E.g. "Pipeworx", "OpenInvoice", "Acme Corp pricing". | |
| models | No | Which models to probe. Supported: "workers-ai" (free default), "anthropic" (requires _apiKey). Omit for just workers-ai. | |
| _apiKey | No | Optional Anthropic API key (sk-ant-...) — only needed if "anthropic" is in models. Passed straight through to api.anthropic.com. | |
| context | No | Optional: a phrase locating the entity (e.g. "Boston restaurant", "B2B SaaS"). Helps disambiguate common names. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint=false. The description adds valuable behavioral context: it reveals that probing is free for Workers AI, that Anthropic calls require a BYO key and direct payment, and describes the return structure (per-model scores, confidence, signals, raw_response, combined view). No contradictions 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is three sentences, front-loaded with core purpose and score range. Each sentence adds a distinct element: function, model options, output and use cases. No redundant or extraneous information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With 4 parameters and no output schema, the description covers purpose, parameters (with examples and rationale), output structure (per-model + combined view), and use cases. It is complete for an agent to understand how to invoke the tool correctly and interpret results.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds meaning beyond the schema by explaining why you'd use _apiKey (BYO key, direct payment to Anthropic) and context helps disambiguate. It provides examples for entity and clarifies the default model. This adds significant value.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb 'probe' and resource 'LLMs for visibility', clearly defining the tool's action. It distinguishes from siblings by mentioning AI-marketing audits, pre-launch checks, and competitive monitoring, which sets it apart from tools like 'scan_competitor_ai_presence'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly states use cases (AI-marketing audits, pre-launch brand checks, competitive monitoring) and explains when to use the default model versus adding Anthropic with an API key. While it does not directly contrast with siblings or provide exclusion criteria, the context is sufficiently clear for agent decision-making.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
ask_pipeworxAsk PipeworxARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
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 3,745 tools across 884 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".
| Name | Required | Description | Default |

| q | No | Alias for question. | |
| text | No | Alias for question. | |
| input | No | Alias for question. | |
| query | No | Alias for question. | |
| prompt | No | Alias for question. | |
| question | Yes | Your question or request in natural language. Accepts query, q, prompt, text, input as aliases. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnly, openWorld, idempotent, non-destructive. The description adds that the tool routes questions to 3,745 tools across 884 sources and returns structured answers with stable citation URIs, providing useful behavioral context 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise, front-loaded with the key guidance to prefer over web search, and uses bullet-like lists of domains and examples. Every sentence serves a purpose without repetition.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description fully covers the tool's purpose, usage context, return format (structured answer with citations), and provides multiple examples. Despite no output schema, the description adequately informs the agent of what to expect.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions of the 'question' parameter and its aliases. The description supplements with example queries in the text, helping the agent understand how to phrase questions, which adds value beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool is for factual queries about current or historical data, listing many specific domains. It distinguishes from web search but does not explicitly differentiate from its sibling 'ask_pipeworx_grounded', though the context implies this is the primary tool.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly says 'PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH' and gives concrete examples of when to use, such as for unemployment rates, SEC filings, etc. It advises using even when web search could answer, making the usage guidance very clear.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
ask_pipeworx_groundedAsk Pipeworx — GroundedARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Hallucination-resistant answer mode for high-stakes reads. Same routing as ask_pipeworx — picks the right tool from 3,745 across 884 sources, fills arguments, fetches the data — then EXTRACTS the answer using ONLY what the tool result contains. Returns {answer, evidence (verbatim quote), confidence, source, fetched_at, refusal_reason:null} on success, OR an explicit refusal {answer:null, refusal_reason:"not_in_source"|"no_tool_match"|"tool_error"|"data_truncated"|"llm_error"} when the data doesn't directly answer. Use whenever an answer will be quoted, cited, or acted on, and the agent must not invent facts (financial verdicts, legal claims, medical lookups, public statements). Costs one extra LLM call vs ask_pipeworx — prefer ask_pipeworx for casual lookups.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| q | No | Alias for question. | |
| text | No | Alias for question. | |
| input | No | Alias for question. | |
| query | No | Alias for question. | |
| prompt | No | Alias for question. | |
| question | Yes | Your question in natural language. Accepts query, q, prompt, text, input as aliases. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Provides extensive behavioral context beyond annotations: details extraction process, returns refusal reasons on failure, explicitly states it costs one extra LLM call. Annotations already indicate readOnly/idempotent, but description adds critical usage constraints.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single dense paragraph that front-loads the core purpose and then details behavior, return format, and use case. Efficient but slightly long; every sentence provides value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Comprehensively covers input, output, success/refusal cases, and cost implication. No output schema but description fully specifies the return structure with example fields.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema covers 100% of parameters with descriptions. Description adds context that the question parameter is used to route to tools and fill arguments, but all parameter aliases are already documented in schema. Marginal additional value.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: a 'hallucination-resistant answer mode for high-stakes reads' that extracts answers strictly from tool results, distinguishing it from the sibling 'ask_pipeworx' which is for casual lookups.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly states when to use the tool (when answers will be quoted, cited, or acted on, and must not invent facts) and when to prefer the sibling 'ask_pipeworx' (casual lookups), including a cost trade-off.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
bet_researchBet ResearchARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Research a Polymarket bet by pulling the relevant Pipeworx data for it in one call. Pass a market slug ("will-bitcoin-hit-150k-by-june-30-2026"), a polymarket.com URL, or a question text. The tool resolves the market, classifies the bet, fans out to category-specific data packs in parallel, and returns an evidence packet + simple market-vs-model comparison. Use for "should I bet on X", "what does the data say about Y", or "is there edge in Z". CLASSIFIERS: crypto_price, fed_rate, geopolitical, sports, sports_championship, drug_approval, election_candidate, tech_launch, space_launch, corporate, corporate_earnings, corporate_event, public_figure_speech, weather, other. FAN-OUT EXAMPLES: BTC bet → coingecko + fred + gdelt+gnews; Fed bet → fred (DFEDTARU + EFFR + CPIAUCSL) + kalshi_macro (KXFED implied probs) + recent_fed_actions (federal-register rules, last 365d); Hormuz bet → imf_portwatch + airspace + gdelt; Yankees WS → mlb_stats_standings + parent_event partition + news; hottest-year bet → climate_projection_nyc + gistemp_latest (NASA global anomaly, rank since 1880) + news; NVDA-vs-AAPL → finnhub get_quote + edgar shares-outstanding (derived market cap) + edgar filings + news. RESPONSE SHAPES: result.market carries best_bid/best_ask/spread_pp/liquidity/price_change_1h/1d/1w; result.analysis carries model_probability/edge_pp/kelly_fraction_half when a closed-form model fires PLUS a 24h-move warning ("Market moved X.Xpp in 24h, comparable to model edge — your edge may already be priced in") when relevant; result.evidence is keyed by source. RESOLVER CONTRACT: result.market_match_confidence ∈ {high, medium, low, none}, market_match_score (0-1 token-overlap), market_match_alternatives[] (other candidate markets the resolver considered), and suggestions[] (explicit re-query hints when the match is fuzzy) — ALWAYS inspect these before trusting the analysis block, because medium/low matches can still surface other fields. PARENT_EVENT EXTRACTOR: when the bet is one leg of a partition (Yankees WS, Romania election), result.parent_event{matched_candidate, top_legs_by_price[], partition_size, placeholders_filtered} gives you the peer prices in one place — that's the headline for elections/championships. NEWS FIELDS: news entries carry _fallback_attempted / _fallback_failed_reason / retry_after_sec when GDELT 429s and GNews backfill ran or failed. SAFETY: low-confidence resolutions short-circuit with status:"low_confidence_match" and suppress analysis fields so agents can't accidentally size on phantom matches. Closed/dead markets that ARE still indexed by Polymarket (yes_price≈0, no volume, no liquidity) return status:"market_closed_or_inactive" and skip fan-out. In practice resolved markets are usually de-indexed and instead surface via the low_confidence_match path above — both routes are BLOCKING, just different mechanisms. Wide-spread markets (>10pp) carry tradeability:"illiquid_wide_spread" + an explanatory note. RESOLUTION-RULE RISK: market.cancellation_rule parses the void/postponement settlement out of the resolution text — refund_50_50 (shares settle flat 50¢ on void; EV-material for any entry away from 50¢, with ev_impact quantified), resolves_no_on_cancel, resolves_yes_on_cancel, carries_to_reschedule, or mentioned_unclear. null means the description never mentions cancellation. Check this before sizing sports/esports/event-occurrence bets — audited arb-bot ledgers show flat-50¢ void settlements are a recurring pure-rules loss.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| depth | No | quick = 2-3 evidence sources, thorough = full fan-out. Default thorough. | |
| market | Yes | Polymarket slug ("will-bitcoin-hit-150k-by-june-30-2026"), full URL ("https://polymarket.com/event/..."), or question text ("Will Bitcoin hit $150k by June 30?") | |
| include_raw | No | Default false. When false (recommended), FRED/FDA/GDELT/Federal-Register evidence is summarized to the few fields agents actually use — keeps responses under ~20KB. Pass true to get full upstream payloads (50KB-500KB) when you need to recompute deltas, cite specific observations, or post-process. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so safety is clear. The description adds extensive behavioral detail: market resolution, classifier fan-out per category, response shapes, resolver contract, parent event extraction, news fallback, and cancellation rules. No contradictions.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is comprehensive but verbose, with many inline examples and explanatory notes that could be condensed. While well-organized with section headings, it may require careful parsing by an agent, risking information overload.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
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 covers return structure (result.market, result.analysis, result.evidence, resolver contract, parent_event, news fields), safety mechanisms, and edge cases. All critical aspects are addressed for a complex tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so parameters are documented structurally. Description adds value by explaining market input types, depth enum with default, and include_raw usage policy. This enhances usability beyond the schema alone.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states a specific verb ('Research') and resource ('Polymarket bet'), details input types (slug, URL, question text), and distinguishes itself by returning an evidence packet and comparison. It clearly separates from sibling tools like polymarket_edges by focusing on data assembly for a specific bet.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicit usage scenarios are given ('Use for "should I bet on X"...'). Includes safety conditions (low-confidence short-circuit, closed markets) that guide when to trust results. However, no direct comparison to alternatives like validate_claim, though context suggests this tool is for data-rich research.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
compare_entitiesCompare EntitiesARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
"Compare X and Y" / "X vs Y" / "X versus Y" / "which is bigger / better / larger / more profitable" / "rank these companies" / "head to head" — side-by-side comparison of 2–5 companies or drugs in ONE parallel call. ALWAYS PREFER over sequential single-pack lookups when comparing entities. type="company" pulls LATEST 10-K revenue + net income + cash + long-term debt from SEC EDGAR/XBRL (off-calendar fiscal years handled correctly — AAPL Sep, NVDA Jan, etc.). type="drug" pulls FAERS adverse-event counts, FDA approval counts, active trial counts. Results sorted by primary metric so "largest" / "most" / "biggest" reads off the top of the response. Returns paired data + pipeworx:// citation URIs per entity. Replaces 8–15 sequential lookups.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| type | Yes | Entity type: "company" or "drug". | |
| values | Yes | For company: 2–5 tickers/CIKs (e.g., ["AAPL","MSFT"]). For drug: 2–5 names (e.g., ["ozempic","mounjaro"]). |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, openWorldHint=true, etc. The description adds valuable context: it discloses data sources (SEC EDGAR/XBRL for companies, FAERS for drugs), handles off-calendar fiscal years, and mentions sorted output and citation URIs. 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is front-loaded with the purpose and example phrases, but it is somewhat verbose. Each sentence adds value, but it could be condensed slightly. Still, it is well-structured and informative.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has only 2 parameters and no output schema, the description provides comprehensive context: tool purpose, when to use, data sources, sorting behavior, return format (paired data + URIs). It fully supports agent decision-making and invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% (both parameters described). The description adds meaning by explaining that 'type' determines the data source and that 'values' should be tickers/CIKs for companies or drug names. It provides examples like ['AAPL','MSFT'] and ['ozempic','mounjaro'], enhancing schema detail.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: side-by-side comparison of 2-5 companies or drugs in a single call. It provides specific verbs ('compare', 'vs', 'rank') and distinguishes from sibling tools like entity_profile by emphasizing that it replaces multiple sequential lookups.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly says 'ALWAYS PREFER over sequential single-pack lookups when comparing entities.' It also gives detailed guidance for each type (company vs drug), including what data is pulled (10-K revenue for companies, FAERS counts for drugs) and how results are sorted.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
deep_researchDeep ResearchARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Grounded multi-source research in ONE call. Decomposes your question into focused sub-questions, routes each to the right one of 3,745 tools across 884 authoritative sources IN PARALLEL, and extracts a grounded answer per facet — verbatim evidence, confidence, source, fetched_at, and a stable pipeworx:// citation on every finding, with explicit gaps[] for facets the data couldn't answer (never invented). Returns a structured findings packet you can synthesize for your user; the facts arrive pre-verified. Use for broad or multi-part questions ("compare X and Y's exposure to Z", "research the regulatory + financial + market picture for ACME"); use ask_pipeworx for single lookups — it's one LLM call instead of many. Requires a Pipeworx account (sign in via GitHub at https://pipeworx.io/signup); depth:"thorough" requires a paid plan. Expect 15-60s.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| depth | No | How many facets to research in parallel: quick=3, standard=5 (default), thorough=8 (paid plans). | |

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema covers both parameters (100% coverage). Description adds context for 'depth' values (quick=3, standard=5, thorough=8) and links thorough to paid plans, which is useful beyond schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool performs grounded multi-source research in one call, decomposing questions into sub-questions and routing to many tools. It distinguishes itself from siblings like ask_pipeworx by noting it handles broad/multi-part questions.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicit guidance is provided: 'Use for broad or multi-part questions... use ask_pipeworx for single lookups.' It also mentions requirements (Pipeworx account, paid plan for depth:thorough) and expected time (15-60s).

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Description is somewhat long (4 sentences) but front-loaded with purpose and usage. Every sentence adds value, though could be slightly more concise without losing completeness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a meta-tool with full schema coverage and clear annotations, the description covers the essence: what it returns, when to use it. No output schema, but description explains return content sufficiently.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with all parameters described, including aliases. Description adds minimal extra meaning beyond the schema, just emphasizes 'natural language description' and gives examples, but the schema already has examples.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it finds tools by describing data or task, listing many domains. It distinguishes from sibling tools by being a meta-tool for discovering other tools, not returning data itself.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly says 'Use when you need to browse, search, look up, or discover what tools exist' and 'Call this FIRST when you have many tools available and want to see the option set'. Provides strong when-to-use guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
entity_profileEntity ProfileARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
"Tell me about X" / "research Acme" / "brief me on Tesla" / "what does Apple do" / "company profile for Microsoft" / "give me the rundown on NVDA" / "everything you know about $TICKER" — full cross-source profile of a US public company in ONE parallel call. ALWAYS PREFER over chaining single-pack SEC/XBRL/news lookups when the user asks for a holistic view. Fans out across SEC EDGAR, XBRL, USPTO, news, GLEIF and returns: cik + company_name; recent_filings (up to 5 with pipeworx://edgar/company/{cik}/filings/{accession} URIs); fundamentals (LATEST 10-K Revenues + NetIncomeLoss + Cash, sorted period_end DESC); patents (USPTO PatentsView API sunset May 2025 — soft-fails until reactivated); recent news mentions via GDELT→GNews fallback; LEI via GLEIF. Pass ticker "AAPL" or zero-padded CIK "0000320193" — names not supported (use resolve_entity first if you only have a name).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| type | Yes | Entity type. Only "company" supported today; person/place coming soon. | |
| value | Yes | Ticker (e.g., "AAPL") or zero-padded CIK (e.g., "0000320193"). Names not supported — use resolve_entity first if you only have a name. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, which the description does not contradict. The description adds valuable behavioral context: it fans out across multiple sources, returns specific fields (e.g., recent_filings with URIs, fundamentals sorted), mentions patent API sunset and soft-fail behavior, and explains input constraints. No contradictions.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is relatively long (12+ sentences) with some redundancy (e.g., 'names not supported' appears twice). It is front-loaded with example queries and structured explanations, but could be more concise. Every sentence provides useful information, but the overall length reduces skimmability.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite lacking an output schema, the description thoroughly explains the return format: specific fields (cik, company_name, recent_filings with URIs, fundamentals sorted, patent info, news fallback, LEI), data sources (SEC EDGAR, XBRL, USPTO, GDELT→GNews, GLEIF), and edge cases (USPTO sunset soft-fail, name unsupported). It provides sufficient context for correct invocation. Minor gap: no indication of response size or rate limits.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with both parameters described. The description significantly enhances meaning: it provides concrete examples (e.g., 'ticker "AAPL" or zero-padded CIK "0000320193"'), explains that names are not supported (repeated twice for emphasis), and clarifies that the type parameter is currently limited to 'company.' This goes well beyond the schema's brief descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description starts with concrete query examples ('Tell me about X', 'research Acme'), then states the tool provides a 'full cross-source profile of a US public company in ONE parallel call.' It explicitly contrasts with 'chaining single-pack SEC/XBRL/news lookups,' showing differentiation from siblings. The purpose is specific and unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description says 'ALWAYS PREFER over chaining ... when the user asks for a holistic view,' providing clear when-to-use guidance. It also states that names are not supported and advises using resolve_entity first, giving a clear alternative. However, it lacks explicit when-not-to-use scenarios.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| key | Yes | Memory key to delete |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=true, covering the core behavior. The description adds context about clearing sensitive data but does not discuss idempotency or failure modes.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences are concise and front-loaded. The first sentence states the action, the second provides usage guidance and pairing. Every sentence adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simple parameter and annotations, the description covers purpose and usage well. It does not explain behavior on missing keys or confirmation responses, but these are minor omissions.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100% and the schema parameter description already states 'Memory key to delete'. The tool description only adds 'by key', providing minimal additional meaning.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Delete a previously stored memory by key', providing a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools 'remember' and 'recall' by its destructive nature.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly lists three use cases: when context is stale, task is done, or clearing sensitive data. It also pairs with remember and recall, giving clear guidance on when to use.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

| max_links | No | Maximum number of link entries to include (default 25, max 50). |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Describes actual steps: fetches the page, extracts title/description/key links, emits markdown. Annotations already indicate readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive; description adds behavioral context 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two succinct sentences plus bulleted use cases. Front-loaded with purpose, every sentence serves a purpose with no redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite no output schema, description clarifies output format (llms.txt markdown blob) and placement. Covers behavior, output, and audience comprehensively for a simple tool with rich annotations.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline 3 is appropriate. Description adds default value for max_links (25, max 50) which matches schema but doesn't significantly augment parameter meaning.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool generates a production-ready llms.txt file for any URL, targeting AI crawlers. It specifies the output format and distinguishes itself from sibling tools, which are unrelated (e.g., search, affiliation).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly lists three use cases (client indexing, personal project drafting, competitor auditing) providing clear context. No when-not-to-use or alternative tools mentioned, but the guidance is sufficient.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint as false. The description adds value by explaining that the tool accepts both a trailing identifier and full URL, which clarifies input flexibility beyond the schema.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence that is concise and front-loaded with the main purpose. No extraneous information; every word earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple fetch tool with an output schema (not shown but present), the description is adequate. It could mention the return format slightly, but the annotations provide sufficient safety context. Slightly more detail on using the exact identifier format would improve completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 0% description coverage for the ror_id parameter, but the description explicitly defines its semantics: it can be either a trailing identifier or a full URL. This fully compensates for the missing schema description.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states the tool retrieves a full ROR record, specifying that it accepts either a trailing identifier or full URL. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like search or resolve_entity which have different scopes.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as search or resolve_entity. The description does not mention prerequisites, limitations, or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

polymarket_arbitragePolymarket ArbitrageARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
REQUIRES one of event (single-event mode) OR topic (cross-event mode) — call with no args fails. Find arbitrage opportunities on Polymarket via monotonicity violations + partition-sum checks. event (recommended for a specific market): pass a Polymarket event slug like "fed-decision-may-2026" or "when-will-bitcoin-hit-150k"; walks child markets, checks date-axis / threshold-axis ordering AND computes the partition_check (sum of YES prices across mutually-exclusive legs — should ≈1; deviations >3pp emit a BUY/SELL EVERY LEG signal). topic (for cross-event scanning): pass a seed question like "Strait of Hormuz traffic returns to normal" or "Fed rate decision"; searches related events across the platform, flattens markets, runs the comparator on the union. Cross-event mode catches "...by May 31" vs "...by Jun 30" patterns that single-event misses. SEMANTIC ANCHOR: cross-event pairs require ≥0.30 Jaccard similarity on question tokens (prevents Powell-Fed-Pause being paired with Powell-DOJ-probe); skipped_low_similarity surfaces the rejected pair count. PARTITION FILTER: drops will-person-X / will-manager-Y / will-someone-else- placeholder slugs; partitions with >20% placeholder fraction return null arb signal. Response: opportunities[] (gap_pp, suggested_trade, reasoning, monotonicity violation context), and in event mode partition_check{sum_yes_prices, gap_from_1, placeholders_filtered, suggested_trade}. FILL CHECK: when the partition signal fires, arbitrage.fill_check prices it against live CLOB depth (theoretical_edge_pp_at_book vs realizable_edge_pp at 1000 shares/leg, thin_legs[]) — realizable_edge_pp ≤ 0 means the overround exists only at last-trade, not in the book; do not trade it. For custom sizing use polymarket_fill_risk.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| event | No | Single-event mode (use this if you know the specific Polymarket event): event slug like "fed-decision-may-2026" or "when-will-bitcoin-hit-150k". Full Polymarket URLs also accepted. | |
| topic | No | Cross-event mode (use this if you want to scan related events across the platform): a topic or seed question like "Fed rate decision" or "Strait of Hormuz traffic returns to normal". Tool searches Polymarket for related events and checks monotonicity across them. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Beyond annotations, the description details the algorithmic approach (monotonicity, partition checks), semantic anchor (Jaccard similarity), partition filtering, and fill check against CLOB depth. No contradiction with readOnlyHint=true as tool only analyzes.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Front-loaded with critical requirement and provides dense, valuable information. However, it is somewhat lengthy and could be structured with bullet points for easier scanning. All sentences are justified but verbosity slightly reduces conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Covers modes, algorithm, filters, and fill check. Without output schema, it describes response fields adequately. Marginally complete—could include more explicit output structure, but given complexity, it serves well.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Adds significant meaning beyond schema: explains accepted formats for 'event' (slug or full URL), provides examples for 'topic', and describes how each parameter drives the mode. Schema coverage is 100% but description enriches semantics substantially.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool finds arbitrage opportunities via monotonicity violations and partition-sum checks. It distinguishes two modes (single-event vs cross-event) and references sibling tools for custom sizing.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly states requirement of one of 'event' or 'topic', recommends event mode for specific markets and topic for cross-event scanning, and references polymorphic_fill_risk for custom sizing. Includes examples and notes failure on no args.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
polymarket_edgesPolymarket EdgesARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Scan top Polymarket markets and return opportunities where Pipeworx data disagrees with market price. Built for "what should I bet on today" — agents discover opportunities without paging hundreds of markets. FIVE MODEL FAMILIES grouped into three response segments under by_segment: (1) MODEL_DRIVEN — crypto_price (lognormal barrier from 90d FRED log-returns) and news_momentum (GDELT 7d/21d article-volume ratio, soft signal w/ halved Kelly). (2) STRUCTURAL_ARBITRAGE — partition_overround on mutually-exclusive events; per-leg favorite-longshot bias correction with per-sport α (tennis 1.02, soccer 1.10, MMA 1.15, default 1.0); placeholder-slug filter drops will-person-X / will-team-Y / will-manager-Z / will-someone-else- backstops; partitions with >20% placeholder fraction skipped entirely. (3) CONCENTRATED_LONGSHOT — basket trade when one leg ≥75% AND ≥2 longshots ≤8% AND portfolio return ≥25:1; rare-by-design (gates relaxed Run 8 from prior 85%/5%/50:1). EVERY OPPORTUNITY carries edge_pp_net (after slippage), kelly_fraction + kelly_fraction_half (capped at 0.25), market.liquidity, market.spread_pp, market.volume, plus a 24h-move warning ("Market moved X.Xpp in 24h") when the recent move alone exceeds the edge — your edge may already be in the price. TRADEABLE-EDGE KNOBS: min_liquidity / max_spread_pp drop opportunities where edge isn't realizable; min_partition_leg_kelly filters partitions by best per-leg Kelly. RESPONSE TOP-LEVEL: by_segment{model_driven,structural_arbitrage,concentrated_longshot}, fed_candidates/fed_note (Fed bets surface here, excluded from ranking — 1m-T vs EFFR signal is unreliable at meeting-month horizons without paid OIS/SOFR-futures data), and _diagnostics{concentrated_longshot:{...funnel counters},category_counts,filter_skips} so callers can see WHY a segment is empty (top-N stale, all candidates failed gates, knob dropped them). Cached 1h at the KV level keyed on all knobs.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Top N edges to return after ranking. Default 10, max 25. | |
| window | No | Polymarket volume window to filter markets. Default 1wk. | |
| min_kelly | No | Minimum half-Kelly fraction (as decimal, e.g. 0.005 = 0.5% of bankroll) to include single-leg opportunities. Default 0 (no filter). Skips opportunities that are too small to bet sensibly even if the edge is large. | |
| min_edge_pp | No | Minimum |edge| in percentage points to include (default 0.5). Edge is evaluated NET of slippage. | |
| slippage_pp | No | Assumed execution slippage in percentage points per leg (default 0.3). Subtracted from raw |edge| before ranking and Kelly sizing. Polymarket has zero trading fees as of 2024 but bid/ask + thin depth typically eats 20-50bp per trade. Bump for very thin partitions; drop to 0 if you have a smarter fill model. | |
| max_spread_pp | No | Tradeable-edge filter. Maximum bid/ask spread in percentage points on the representative market. Default null (no filter). Set to 2 to require tight books — anything wider eats most plausible edges. | |
| min_liquidity | No | Tradeable-edge filter. Minimum $ liquidity on the representative market (or for partition_overround, on at least one top_leg). Default 0 (no filter). Set to 5000 to drop thin-book opportunities where executing the edge would walk the book past breakeven. | |
| category_filter | No | Comma-separated list to restrict the output: "model_driven" (crypto_price + news_momentum), "structural_arbitrage" (partition_overround), "concentrated_longshot". Combine like "model_driven,structural_arbitrage". Default: all. | |
| min_partition_leg_kelly | No | Minimum BEST per-leg half-Kelly fraction across a partition_overround opportunity's top_legs (or longshot_basket legs). Default 0 (no filter). Partition arbs always return kelly_fraction_half=0 at the parent level by design (basket trades don't compose to single-leg Kelly), so min_kelly never filters them — this knob applies to the per-leg Kelly inside top_legs instead. Use to suppress thin partitions whose individual leg edges aren't worth the per-leg slippage cost. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate readOnly, idempotent, and not destructive. The description adds extensive behavioral context: caching (1h KV-level), response segmentation (by_segment, fed_candidates, _diagnostics), edge calculation details (e.g., Kelly fractions, slippage, 24h-move warning), and filter logic. This far exceeds what annotations provide.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is front-loaded with a clear purpose statement and well-organized sections (model families, knobs, response structure). While long, each sentence adds substantive detail relevant to the tool's complex functionality. Minor redundancy could be trimmed, but overall it earns its length.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the absence of an output schema, the description fully explains the response structure (by_segment, fed_candidates, _diagnostics), all fields (edge_pp_net, kelly_fraction, market metrics, warnings), and caching behavior. It also explains edge cases like Fed bets and empty segments, ensuring the agent understands the complete context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with detailed descriptions, so baseline is 3. The description adds value by grouping parameters into 'tradeable-edge knobs' (min_liquidity, max_spread_pp) and explaining their conceptual role, which enhances understanding beyond individual parameter definitions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Scan top Polymarket markets and return opportunities where Pipeworx data disagrees with market price.' It specifies it's for 'what should I bet on today' and distinguishes from siblings like polymarket_arbitrage by focusing on cross-referencing internal data with market prices.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly frames the tool as 'Built for what should I bet on today' and implies it avoids paging hundreds of markets. However, it does not provide explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance relative to siblings like polymarket_arbitrage or polymarket_edge_tracker, though the context is clear.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
polymarket_edge_trackerPolymarket Edge TrackerARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Edge persistence and decay telemetry built from daily polymarket_edges snapshots. Answers "how long has this edge existed and is it shrinking?" — a fresh wide edge and a 3-week-old wide edge are different trades (the latter is wide for a reason nobody is willing to take). Args: days (lookback, default 14, max 30), window (snapshot family, default "1wk"). RESPONSE: tracked[] = every opportunity in the LATEST snapshot with its full edge_pp_net time-series across prior snapshots, first_seen, trend (new | widening | stable | decaying) and decay_pp_per_day (both computed on |edge_pp_net| — the value itself is signed by trade direction, negative = SELL YES); expired[] = opportunities that appeared in earlier snapshots but are GONE from the latest (closed, resolved, or arbed away) with their lifespan_days — the median lifespan is your competition clock; snapshot_dates[] = which days actually have data (snapshots are written when polymarket_edges runs on a cache-miss, so gaps mean nobody scanned that day). LIMITS: history depth is bounded by the 60-day snapshot TTL and starts from when snapshotting was enabled; decay numbers come from daily closes of edge_pp_net (net of default slippage), not intraday.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| days | No | Lookback in days (default 14, clamp 2-30). | |
| window | No | Which polymarket_edges window family to read snapshots for: 24hr | 1wk | 1mo (default 1wk). |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint. The description adds rich behavioral context: it details the decay computation (on absolute edge_pp_net), return structure (tracked, expired, snapshot_dates), data generation conditions (cache-miss), and limitations (daily closes only). No contradictions 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is dense and front-loaded with the core purpose. It packs multiple pieces of information (return fields, limits, data gaps) into a single paragraph. While not bulleted, it is efficient and every sentence adds value, though a slightly more structured format could improve readability.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
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 the response fields (tracked, expired, snapshot_dates) and their meanings. It also covers limitations (60-day TTL, cache-miss gaps) and data freshness. For a complex tool, the description is complete enough for correct usage.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions for both parameters. The description adds defaults (14 days, 1wk window) and explains how days and window affect the snapshots. It also provides response semantics, clarifying the output structure, which goes beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description begins with a specific verb-resource combination: 'Edge persistence and decay telemetry built from daily polymarket_edges snapshots.' It clearly answers what the tool does—tracking how long an edge has existed and if it is shrinking—and implicitly distinguishes it from sibling polymarket_edges (which likely provides raw edges).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explains the use case: differentiating between a fresh wide edge and an old wide edge. It mentions limits (60-day TTL) but does not explicitly state when not to use the tool or list alternatives. However, the sibling context and implied contrast with polymarket_edges provide sufficient guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
polymarket_fill_riskPolymarket Fill RiskARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Realizable-vs-theoretical edge check against live CLOB order-book depth. REQUIRES one of market (single-market mode) or event (basket/partition mode). SINGLE-MARKET: pass a market slug/URL + side (buy_yes|sell_yes|buy_no|sell_no, default buy_yes) + size_usd (default 1000 — max spend on buys, target proceeds on sells); walks the ladder and returns top_of_book, vwap_fill_price, slippage_pp, shares_filled, max_fillable_usd, and a verdict (clean|degraded|cannot_fill). BASKET: pass an event slug/URL + side (sell_yes = capture overround by selling every leg, buy_yes = capture underround; default auto from partition sum) + size_usd interpreted as settlement notional S (shares per leg; each share pays $1); returns theoretical_sum vs realizable_sum (top-of-book vs VWAP across all legs), capture_ratio, profit_usd at executed size, per-leg fill detail, thin_legs[], max_clean_notional_usd, and forced_directional_risk naming the legs most likely to strand you unhedged. USE THIS before acting on any polymarket_arbitrage SELL/BUY-EVERY-LEG signal or any polymarket_edges trade above ~$500 — theoretical overround on thin books is not capturable, and partial basket fills convert an arb into an unhedged directional position (the dominant loss mode in real arb-bot P&L).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| side | No | Single-market: buy_yes | sell_yes | buy_no | sell_no (default buy_yes). Basket: sell_yes | buy_yes (default auto — sell if partition sum > 1, buy if < 1). | |
| event | No | Basket mode: event slug or full polymarket.com URL — checks every leg of the partition. | |
| market | No | Single-market mode: market slug or full polymarket.com URL. | |
| size_usd | No | Single-market: USD to spend (buys) or target proceeds (sells). Basket: settlement notional — shares per leg, each paying $1 at resolution. Default 1000, clamp 10–1,000,000. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint true, and destructiveHint false. The description adds substantial behavioral context: it walks the ladder, returns specific fields (top_of_book, vwap_fill_price, slippage_pp, verdict, etc.), and for basket mode details thin_legs, forced_directional_risk, and the risk of partial fills. 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is long but well-structured: purpose sentence first, then mode-specific explanations, then usage guidance. It is front-loaded with the core purpose. While slightly verbose, it is necessary to cover the complexity of two modes and multiple return fields.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite no output schema, the description lists all return fields for both modes, covers prerequisites, usage context, and associated risks. For a tool with 4 parameters and two modes, this is complete and leaves no major gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds meaning beyond the schema by explaining the two modes, which parameters are required for each, how size_usd is interpreted differently (spend vs target proceeds vs settlement notional), and default side logic for basket mode. This significantly enriches the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Realizable-vs-theoretical edge check against live CLOB order-book depth,' which is a specific verb+resource. It distinguishes two modes (single-market and basket) and contrasts with sibling tools like polymarket_arbitrage and polymarket_edges by noting it should be used before acting on their signals.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly says 'USE THIS before acting on any polymarket_arbitrage SELL/BUY-EVERY-LEG signal or any polymarket_edges trade above ~$500' and explains the risks of not using it (theoretical overround not capturable, partial fills converting arb to unhedged directional position). This provides clear when-to-use and when-not-to-use guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
polymarket_kalshi_spreadPolymarket–Kalshi SpreadARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Cross-venue spread between Kalshi and Polymarket for the same resolving question. The two venues sometimes price the same outcome 2-25pp apart because their participant pools differ — when the bet shapes are equivalent that delta is a real signal, when they aren't the tool says so. TWO MODES: (1) topic — 10 pre-mapped macro shortcuts ("fed", "btc", "cpi", "gdp", "sp500", "recession", "next_pope", "next_uk_pm", "next_israel_pm", "2028_president") auto-fetch the matching event on each venue. (2) explicit kalshi_event_ticker + polymarket_event_slug for custom pairings. RESPONSE: each venue's leg-by-leg prices (raw probability 0-1) plus matched spread[].top_spreads_pp (Kalshi − Polymarket) where the same outcome shows up on both sides. SAFETY FIELDS: compatibility_warning fires in two cases — (a) matched_pairs:0 with skipped_cross_type>0 means the venues frame the topic with non-equivalent bet shapes (e.g. Kalshi range_bucket point-in-time vs Polymarket cumulative_threshold touch-anywhere — no arb exists), (b) matched_pairs:0 with skipped_cross_type:0 and both venues >5 legs means the token-overlap matcher found nothing in common — events likely semantically unrelated despite the topic keyword. temporal_alignment{polymarket_month,kalshi_month,aligned} tells you whether the two events resolve in the same calendar period; aligned:false means spreads are mathematically meaningless across the temporal gap. skipped_cross_type / skipped_cross_subtype counters expose how many leg-pair comparisons were dropped (cross-type = metric_type mismatch like MoM vs YoY; cross-subtype = inequality mismatch like cum_ge vs cum_le). Real cross-venue spreads are rarer than the macro-shortcut list suggests — most pre-mapped topics return compatibility_warning today; pre-mapped ≠ tradeable.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| topic | No | Pre-mapped: fed | btc | cpi | gdp | sp500 | recession | next_pope | next_uk_pm | next_israel_pm | 2028_president | |
| kalshi_event_ticker | No | Explicit Kalshi event ticker, e.g. "KXFED-26OCT". Overrides the topic-mapped Kalshi side. | |
| polymarket_event_slug | No | Explicit Polymarket event slug, e.g. "fed-decision-in-june-825". Overrides the topic-mapped Polymarket side. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate read-only and idempotent behavior. The description adds rich behavioral context: compatibility_warning conditions, temporal alignment, skipped cross-type/subtype counters, and the note that real spreads are rarer than shortcuts suggest. No contradictions 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Description is fairly long but each sentence serves a purpose. Front-loaded with core purpose and modes, then response details, then safety field explanations. Some redundancy in examples but overall effective. Could be slightly trimmed but still well-structured.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
No output schema, so description bears full burden of explaining return values. It covers leg-by-leg prices, matched spreads, compatibility_warning, temporal_alignment, and skipped counters. For a complex tool with multiple failure modes, the description is thorough and complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% (all 3 parameters documented). Description adds value by explaining the two modes, listing pre-mapped topics, and describing override behavior. Provides examples in schema but description further clarifies semantics, justifying above baseline 3.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool computes cross-venue spreads between Kalshi and Polymarket for the same resolving question. It explains the concept of spread and differentiates by mentioning two modes and providing examples, which helps distinguish from sibling tools like polymarket_arbitrage.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicit guidance on when to use topic shortcuts vs explicit tickers, including a warning that most pre-mapped topics return compatibility_warning. Also explains conditions under which spreads are not meaningful via safety fields, covering when-not-to-use scenarios.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
recallRecallARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
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.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| key | No | Memory key to retrieve (omit to list all keys) |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false. Description adds behavioral details: behavior when key omitted, scoping to identifier, and pairing with remember/forget. No contradictions.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two efficient sentences, front-loaded with action, no wasted words. Every sentence adds value: function, use case, scope, and pairing.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given simple input (one optional param) and no output schema, description sufficiently covers retrieval behavior and scoping. Lack of return format or error handling is acceptable for such a simple tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with one parameter described. Description adds meaning: 'omit to list all keys' and links to remember. This goes beyond the basic schema description.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool retrieves a saved value or lists all keys, with specific verb 'retrieve' and resource 'value previously saved via remember'. It distinguishes from sibling tools remember and forget.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly states when to use: to look up context stored earlier, and when to omit key: to list all. Names alternative tools (remember, forget) and provides scoping context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
recent_alertsRecent AlertsARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Pull fired events from your subscription feed. Returns the most recent alerts the evaluator has written to your persisted feed — each carries source, citation_uri (pipeworx:// when available), and the raw event payload. Filter by type (e.g. "sec_8k") and/or since (ISO timestamp). Set mark_read:true to flag returned events read so the next call only shows newer ones. Polls work fine; the same feed is also at GET registry.pipeworx.io/alerts.json for scripts and dashboards.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| type | No | Optional — filter to one subscription type. | |
| limit | No | Max events to return (1-200, default 50). | |
| since | No | Optional ISO timestamp — return events fired_at >= this time. | |
| mark_read | No | Flag the returned events read in the same call (default false). | |
| unread_only | No | Return only events where read_at is null (default false). |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description adds value beyond annotations by explaining the returned data structure (source, citation_uri, raw payload), the effect of mark_read, and that polling works fine. Annotations already cover safety traits, but the description provides useful behavioral context.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise (4 sentences) and front-loaded with the core purpose. Every sentence adds value, and there is no redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, the description adequately explains the return values (source, citation_uri, raw payload). It also covers filtering, polling suitability, and an alternative access method, making it complete for this relatively simple tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 100% schema description coverage, the description enhances parameter understanding by providing examples (e.g., type 'sec_8k'), clarifying the 'since' parameter as ISO timestamp, and explaining the effect of mark_read on subsequent calls.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it pulls fired events from the subscription feed and returns recent alerts with specific fields. However, it does not explicitly differentiate this tool from siblings like 'list_subscriptions' or 'subscribe', which may have overlapping functionality.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage by showing filtering options and mentions polling, but it does not provide explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it state when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
recent_changesRecent ChangesARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
"What's new with X" / "latest on Y" / "what happened to Z this week / month / quarter" / "updates on Acme" / "news on Tesla recently" / "what's happening with Apple" — change feed for a company in the last N days/weeks/months in ONE parallel call. Fans out to SEC EDGAR (filings since since), GDELT→GNews fallback (news mentions in window — GDELT preferred, GNews when rate-limited or 5xx), USPTO (patents granted; PatentsView API sunset May 2025 so this soft-fails until reactivated). since accepts ISO date ("2026-04-01") or relative shorthand ("7d", "30d", "3m", "1y"). Returns structured changes[] grouped by source + total_changes count + pipeworx:// citation URIs. Use entity_profile instead when you want the static profile (filings + fundamentals + LEI + patents) regardless of window.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| type | Yes | Entity type. Only "company" supported today. | |
| since | Yes | Window start — ISO date ("2026-04-01") or relative ("7d", "30d", "3m", "1y"). Use "30d" or "1m" for typical monitoring. | |
| value | Yes | Ticker (e.g., "AAPL") or zero-padded CIK (e.g., "0000320193"). |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Beyond annotations (readOnly, idempotent, openWorld), the description reveals that the tool fans out to multiple sources in parallel, details the logic (GDELT preferred, GNews on failure), and mentions a known sunset limitation for USPTO. This provides rich behavioral context that helps an agent understand the tool's side effects and data sources.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is relatively long but every sentence contributes useful information. It is structured with example queries first, then source explanations, parameter details, return format, and a sibling alternative. It could be slightly more concise, but the structure aids readability.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
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 covers return format ('structured changes[] grouped by source + total_changes count + pipeworx:// citation URIs'). It also explains the fallback mechanism, source limitations (USPTO sunset), and the parallel fan-out nature. For a tool with three parameters and complex behavior, this provides a complete picture.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Since schema description coverage is 100%, the baseline is 3. The description adds value by explaining the 'since' parameter's accepted formats (ISO date or relative shorthand) with examples like '7d', '30d', '1y', and suggests typical usage ('Use '30d' or '1m' for typical monitoring'). This goes beyond the schema's basic description.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly defines the tool as a change feed for companies over a time window, with multiple concrete example queries like 'what's new with X' and 'updates on Acme'. It distinguishes from sibling 'entity_profile' by specifying that 'changes' vs 'static profile' is the differentiator.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly states when to use the tool (for temporal change queries) and provides a direct alternative ('Use entity_profile instead when you want the static profile'). It also explains the fallback behavior between GDELT and GNews, though it does not explicitly list all scenarios where this tool should be avoided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
rememberRememberAIdempotentInspect
Save data the agent will need to reuse later — across this conversation or across sessions. Use when you discover something worth carrying forward (a resolved ticker, a target address, a user preference, a research subject) so you don't have to look it up again. Stored as a key-value pair scoped by your identifier. Authenticated users get persistent memory; anonymous sessions retain memory for 24 hours. Pair with recall to retrieve later, forget to delete.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Adds rich context beyond annotations: key-value scoping by identifier, persistence differences for authenticated vs anonymous users, and 24-hour TTL. 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Front-loaded with purpose, then usage, then behavioral details. Each sentence provides distinct value with no redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Fully explains when, what, how, and related tools. Persistence model and pairing with recall/forget make the tool unambiguous for an agent.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Input schema covers both parameters with 100% description coverage. The description repeats the same examples, adding no new semantic information.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Save' and the resource 'data', specifying reuse across conversations/sessions. It distinguishes from sibling tools 'recall' and 'forget' by directly mentioning pairing.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly tells when to use (discovering something worth carrying forward) and gives concrete examples. Mentions alternatives: 'Pair with recall to retrieve later, forget to delete.'
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
resolve_entityResolve EntityARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
"What's the ticker for…" / "find the CIK for…" / "what's the RxCUI for…" / "look up the ID for…" / "what is X's official identifier" — resolve a user-spoken NAME to the canonical/official identifier other tools require as input. Use FIRST whenever you have a name but need an ID. SUPPORTED TYPES: "company" (returns ticker + 10-digit CIK + company_name from SEC EDGAR + pipeworx://edgar/company/{cik} citation URI; accepts ticker, CIK, or company name as input — auto-disambiguated), "drug" (returns RxCUI + ingredient + brand from RxNorm + pipeworx://rxnorm/{rxcui} citation; accepts brand or generic name). Each call cascades through several lookup endpoints internally — using resolve_entity replaces 2-3 manual lookups.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| type | Yes | Entity type: "company" or "drug". | |
| value | Yes | For company: ticker (AAPL), CIK (0000320193), or name. For drug: brand or generic name (e.g., "ozempic", "metformin"). |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations (readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false) are consistent. The description adds context about internal cascading lookups and that it replaces 2-3 manual steps, enhancing transparency beyond annotations without contradiction.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is dense with valuable information but slightly verbose. It front-loads the primary use case, then covers supported types and return details. Each sentence contributes, but could be trimmed slightly without loss of clarity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, the description fully details return values and behavior for both entity types. It covers input possibilities, auto-disambiguation, and internal complexity, enabling an agent to correctly invoke and interpret results without gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, but the description adds rich semantics: enumerates exact return fields per type (ticker, CIK, company_name, citation URI for company; RxCUI, ingredient, brand for drug), explains auto-disambiguation for company, and maps input values to output behavior. This goes far beyond schema descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool resolves names to canonical identifiers, with specific examples ('ticker', 'CIK', 'RxCUI') and explicitly contrasts with siblings by positioning it as a first-step lookup tool.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly says 'Use FIRST whenever you have a name but need an ID', providing clear when-to-use guidance. It also differentiates the two supported types with detailed return information, eliminating ambiguity about when to invoke this tool versus alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

| context | No | Optional shared context applied to every probe (e.g. "B2B SaaS", "Boston restaurant"). Disambiguates common names. | |
| entities | Yes | Array of 2-8 entities to compare (brand/business/product names). First entry treated as the "subject" for narrative; rest are competitors. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint. Description adds that it probes each entity with ai_visibility_check and ranks, which is useful process info. No contradictions.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Three concise sentences, front-loaded with purpose, no wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Covers input (entities, optional models/api key/context), process (probes, ranks), output (ranked list with score/confidence/signal density). Missing potential error handling or dependency on ai_visibility_check, but sufficient for a tool with good annotations.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, including the same detail about first entity being subject. Description does not add new parameter semantics beyond schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states it compares AI visibility across entities side-by-side, using ai_visibility_check, ranking results. Distinguishes from sibling 'ai_visibility_check' by being a comparative tool.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly states use case: competitive AI-marketing audits, with concrete example. Does not explicitly mention when not to use (e.g., single entity) but context is clear.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
scan_dependencyScan DependencyARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
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.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| package | Yes | npm package name. Scoped packages (e.g. "@types/node") are accepted. | |
| version | No | Specific version to check (e.g., "18.3.1"). Defaults to the latest published version when omitted. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive. The description adds behavioral details: fans out to deps.dev and bundlephobia, lists return fields, mentions potential delays (5-30s) for bundlephobia first measurement, and graceful degradation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is detailed but somewhat long. It front-loads the main purpose and each sentence adds value, though it could be slightly more concise.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
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 the return structure (summary block fields, per-advisory detail, links, alternative versions) and covers all key aspects of the tool's behavior.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions for both parameters. The description adds context like accepting scoped packages for 'package' and default version behavior for 'version'.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states that it performs a composite check for adding an npm package, covering licenses, advisories, bundle size, etc. It answers questions like 'is X safe/popular/small' and distinguishes itself from sibling tools which are unrelated.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly states when to use: 'whenever an agent asks ...'. Also notes that it's NPM-specific and that other ecosystems fall under different tools, and describes partial failure behavior.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
searchSearchBRead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Search organizations.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|

|---|---|---|
| items | No | Array of organization records |
| query | No | Query parameters used |
| time_taken | No | API response time in milliseconds |
| number_of_results | No | Total number of results matching the query |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations clearly mark the tool as read-only and idempotent, but the description adds no behavioral context beyond the schema. It does not mention pagination, result limits, or output format, which is acceptable given the output schema exists, but still leaves gaps.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise with a single sentence. No wasted words, but could be improved by adding a bit more context without becoming verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given that schema covers all parameters and output schema exists, the description is minimal but covers the essential purpose. However, it lacks context on when to use and how results are returned, making it just adequate.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Input schema coverage is 100%, so all parameters have descriptions. The tool description adds no additional parameter meaning, so it scores the baseline of 3.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description explicitly states the verb ('Search') and resource ('organizations'), making the primary purpose clear. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like 'search_within' or 'deep_research', which could cause confusion.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs. others. The description does not explain prerequisites, limitations, or scenarios where alternatives like 'search_within' or 'deep_research' would be preferred.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
search_withinSearch Within a SourceARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Semantic search INSIDE a fetched record. Pass the text you already pulled (e.g. a SEC 10-K body, an article, a long tool result) plus a natural-language query; get back the top-N passages with character offsets and similarity scores. Use when the record is too big to cram into the prompt — search_within saves context, returns only the passages that matter, and every passage carries an offset so the agent can verify a verbatim quote. Pairs with ask_pipeworx_grounded: fetch with the gateway, ground over the relevant passages instead of the whole document. BGE-base-en embeddings + cosine over 500-char overlapping windows; cap is 200K chars (longer inputs are truncated and flagged).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| text | Yes | The document text to search inside (max ~200K chars). | |
| limit | No | Max passages to return (1-20, default 5). | |
| query | Yes | Natural-language query — what passages do you want? E.g. "supply-chain risk", "fiscal year 2024 revenue", "drug interactions with warfarin". |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint=false. The description adds significant behavioral details beyond annotations: uses BGE-base-en embeddings, cosine similarity, 500-char overlapping windows, 200K character cap with truncation flag, and output includes character offsets and similarity scores. There is 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is somewhat long but front-loaded with the core purpose. Every sentence adds useful information (embedding details, truncation, pairing with another tool). It could be slightly more concise, but there is no redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given moderate complexity and no output schema, the description compensates by explaining what the tool returns (passages with offsets and scores) and its limitations (200K char cap, truncation). It also provides usage context (pairing with ask_pipeworx_grounded), making the definition complete for an agent.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions for all three parameters. The description adds value by explaining that 'text' is the document to search, 'query' is a natural-language question with examples, and 'limit' controls max passages. This goes beyond the schema's basic descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The tool name 'search_within' and description clearly state it performs semantic search inside a fetched record. The verb 'search' and resource 'text inside a record' are explicit. The description distinguishes it from siblings by mentioning pairing with ask_pipeworx_grounded, making its unique role clear.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly advises using this tool when the record is too large to fit in the prompt, saving context. It also mentions pairing with ask_pipeworx_grounded as an alternative workflow. However, it does not explicitly list when not to use it or compare to all sibling tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
subscribeSubscribe to AlertsAIdempotentInspect
Create a proactive monitoring subscription to a live-data event stream. Returns the new subscription id. Requires a Pipeworx OAuth account (anonymous + BYO cannot persist subscriptions). Supported types: "sec_8k" (8-K filings matching ticker + item codes — e.g. items:["5.02"] = officer change), "polymarket_edge" (Polymarket↔Kalshi cross-venue mispricings — params:{topic:"fed"}), "fred_series" (new FRED observations — params:{series_id:"UNRATE"}). Delivery channels: feed (always on — pull via recent_alerts or GET registry.pipeworx.io/alerts.json), and optionally email (set delivery:{email:"you@x.com"}) or sms (delivery:{sms:"+15551234567"} — phone must be verified at /account first; 10/day cap).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| type | Yes | Subscription type. | |
| params | Yes | Type-specific filter. sec_8k: {ticker:"AAPL", items?:["5.02","1.01"]}. polymarket_edge: {topic:"fed", min_spread_bps?:500}. fred_series: {series_id:"UNRATE"}. patent_grant: {applicant:"Apple Inc."}. clinical_trial: {sponsor?:"Pfizer", condition?:"lung cancer", phase?:"PHASE3"} (sponsor or condition required). | |
| delivery | No | Optional delivery channels in addition to the always-on persistent feed. {email:"you@x.com"} sends a templated alert per fired event. {sms:"+15551234567"} sends an SMS per event — must match the verified phone on the caller's account (verify at https://pipeworx.io/account first; 10/day cap). {webhook:"https://..."} POSTs each event JSON to your endpoint, HMAC-signed — the response includes delivery.webhook_secret (whsec_…) ONCE; verify X-Pipeworx-Signature = sha256 HMAC of "<X-Pipeworx-Timestamp>.<raw body>". Auto-disabled after 10 consecutive failing runs. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description adds significant behavioral context beyond the annotations, including OAuth requirement, type-specific parameters, delivery channel constraints (phone verification, 10/day SMS cap, webhook auto-disable), and the fact that webhook signing secret is returned once. The annotations indicate non-read-only, non-destructive, and idempotent behavior, which is consistent.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is information-dense and well-structured, starting with the purpose and return value, then covering subscription types and delivery options. It could be slightly more concise, but every sentence adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity (nested objects, multiple types) and no output schema, the description covers return value (subscription id), authentication, rate limits, and error scenarios (webhook auto-disable). It lacks explicit error handling for subscription creation failures, but is fairly complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 100% schema coverage, the description still adds substantial meaning to each parameter. It provides type-specific examples for the 'params' object (e.g., sec_8k items array, polymarket_edge topic) and detailed constraints for delivery channels (e.g., SMS verification, webhook HMAC signing).
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Create a proactive monitoring subscription to a live-data event stream. Returns the new subscription id.' This is a specific verb (create) and resource (subscription), and it distinguishes from sibling tools like 'list_subscriptions' and 'unsubscribe'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides clear usage context, including the requirement for a Pipeworx OAuth account and examples of supported subscription types with parameters. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or compare it to alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
suggest_questionsWhat Can I Ask Pipeworx?ARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
What can I ask Pipeworx? / what is Pipeworx good for? / what can you do? / give me ideas / show me examples / getting started / what data do you have? — the onboarding entry point for an agent that just connected and wants to know what is worth asking. Returns category-bucketed example questions (company financials, drugs & clinical trials, economics, real estate, prediction markets, weather, government & patents, science & academia, news) — each with the exact tool + argument shape that answers it, drawn from the live catalog of thousands of tools. Call with no arguments for the full spread, or pass topic (e.g. "finance", "pharma", "betting") to focus. Use this FIRST when you do not yet know what Pipeworx can do for you, or to learn how to call the meta-tools (ask_pipeworx, entity_profile, compare_entities, etc.).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| topic | No | Optional focus area: finance | pharma | economics | real-estate | betting | weather | government | science | news. Omit for a cross-category spread. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, confirming safe read behavior. Description adds that it returns live catalog examples with exact tool+argument shapes, which is beyond what annotations provide.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Description is front-loaded with common trigger phrases, then states purpose and details. It is relatively long but every sentence adds value. Minor redundancy could be trimmed but overall efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite lacking an output schema, the description fully explains the return format (category-bucketed example questions with tool+argument shape). For a simple tool with one optional param, it provides complete contextual information.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with a single optional topic parameter described. Description adds value by explaining default behavior ('full spread') and examples of valid topics like 'finance' or 'pharma', which enhances usability beyond schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states the tool returns category-bucketed example questions to help new users understand what to ask Pipeworx. It uses specific verbs and distinguishes its role as the onboarding entry point from siblings like ask_pipeworx and discover_tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly instructs to use this tool FIRST when the agent does not know what Pipeworx can do, and to learn how to call meta-tools. Also notes optional topic parameter for focus, providing clear when-to-use context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
unsubscribeUnsubscribe from AlertsAIdempotentInspect
Cancel a subscription by id. Ownership is enforced — you can only cancel your own subscriptions. The row is deactivated (not deleted) so its historical events stay available via recent_alerts.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | Yes | Subscription id (uuid) returned by subscribe. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Adds context beyond annotations: the unsubscribe deactivates rather than deletes, keeping historical events available. Annotations already indicate idempotent and non-destructive, and description aligns and elaborates.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two concise sentences front-loading the purpose and adding key behavioral detail. No superfluous words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a single-parameter tool with no output schema and complete annotations, the description covers all necessary context: action, ownership, and side effects.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100% for the single parameter 'id'. The description does not add additional meaning beyond 'by id' and ownership context, but the schema already sufficiently describes the parameter.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states 'Cancel a subscription by id' with specific verb and resource. Distinguishes from siblings like subscribe, list_subscriptions, and recent_alerts.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explains ownership enforcement and that the row is only deactivated, not deleted. Implicitly guides when to use (cancel own subscription) but lacks explicit mention of alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
validate_claimValidate ClaimARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
"Is it true that…" / "fact check" / "verify the claim that…" / "did X really…" / "was Y actually…" / "confirm or refute" / "true or false" — natural-language claim verification against authoritative sources. Use whenever the agent needs to check whether something a user said is factually correct. v1 supports company-financial claims (revenue, net income, cash position for public US companies) via SEC EDGAR + XBRL. Returns a verdict (confirmed / approximately_correct / refuted / inconclusive / unsupported), extracted structured form, actual value with pipeworx:// citation, and percent delta. Replaces 4–6 sequential calls (NL parsing → entity resolution → data lookup → numeric comparison).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| claim | Yes | Natural-language factual claim, e.g., "Apple's FY2024 revenue was $400 billion" or "Microsoft made about $100B in profit last year". |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint. Description adds valuable behavioral context: returns verdict categories (confirmed, refuted, etc.), extracted structured form, actual value with citation, and percent delta. Also discloses data sources (SEC EDGAR + XBRL). 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Description is front-loaded with purpose and trigger phrases, then covers usage, domain, and return fields. It is somewhat lengthy but every sentence adds value. Could be slightly more concise, but overall well-structured.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool with one simple parameter and no output schema, the description is fairly complete. It explains the verification domain, data sources, verdict types, and return fields. It also highlights the benefit of replacing multiple calls. However, it could explicitly mention that it only covers US public companies and financial claims.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Only one parameter (claim) with 100% schema description coverage. The schema already provides examples. The description reinforces the claim format and adds domain context but does not significantly enhance understanding beyond the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states the tool's purpose: natural-language claim verification against authoritative sources. It provides specific trigger phrases ("Is it true that…", "fact check", etc.) and distinguishes itself by being a specialized claim verification tool among diverse siblings like search, recall, etc.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly says to use whenever the agent needs to check factual correctness of a user's statement. It specifies the domain (company-financial claims) and mentions it replaces 4–6 sequential calls, implying it's the preferred method. Lacks explicit when-not-to-use but domain limitation serves as implicit guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
