Read-onlyIdempotent

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.

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint. The description adds behavioral context like scoping to an identifier and the ability to list all keys, which complements the annotations well.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is a single paragraph but well-structured, front-loading the main action. It includes examples and pairing information without unnecessary verbosity, earning a solid score.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a simple tool with one optional parameter and no output schema, the description fully covers input behavior, usage context, and pairing with related tools, leaving no gaps.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% with the key parameter already described. The description adds meaning by explaining that omitting the key lists all saved keys and including the key retrieves a specific value, enhancing understanding beyond the schema.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states the tool retrieves values saved via remember or lists all keys, with concrete examples like target ticker or research notes. It distinguishes from sibling tools by explicitly pairing with 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.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description says 'Use to look up context... without re-deriving it from scratch,' providing clear context. It explains scoping and the alternative of omitting the key argument. It could be more explicit about when not to use vs other read tools, but is overall clear.

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

TDQS

A3.9/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have distinctly described purposes, but there is some overlap among query tools like ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research, and validate_claim, which could cause confusion for an agent.

Naming Consistency3/5

Tool names are consistently snake_case but vary in pattern: some are verb_noun (ask_pipeworx, compare_entities), while others are noun_noun (entity_profile, polymarket_arbitrage) or longer phrases (scan_competitor_ai_presence), making the naming system inconsistent.

Tool Count2/5

With 33 tools, the server feels over-scoped. Many tools are niche (e.g., polymarket-specific ones) and the high number exceeds the typical range for a focused server, leading to potential overwhelm.

Completeness3/5

The server covers a broad range of query and monitoring tasks for its domains, but lacks write operations (except memory tools). There are notable gaps like no tool for creating or editing ScienceBase items, which seems incomplete given the server's name.
