Scan Competitor AI Presence

scan_competitor_ai_presence
Read-onlyIdempotent

Compare AI visibility across multiple entities side-by-side. Probes each entity (your brand + N competitors) with ai_visibility_check, ranks by score, surfaces which is most/least recognized. Useful for competitive AI-marketing audits: "does Claude know about us as well as our competitors?". Returns ranked list with score, confidence, signal density per entity.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
modelsNoWhich models to probe. Supported: "workers-ai" (free default), "anthropic" (requires _apiKey). Omit for just workers-ai.
_apiKeyNoOptional Anthropic API key — only if "anthropic" is in models. Passed to api.anthropic.com per probe.
contextNoOptional shared context applied to every probe (e.g. "B2B SaaS", "Boston restaurant"). Disambiguates common names.
entitiesYesArray of 2-8 entities to compare (brand/business/product names). First entry treated as the "subject" for narrative; rest are competitors.

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare safe, non-destructive, idempotent behavior. Description adds specific behavior: probes each entity with ai_visibility_check, ranks by score, surfaces most/least recognized, and treats first entity as subject. No contradiction.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Three sentences, no redundant words, front-loaded with main purpose, efficient.

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?

Handles four parameters (all described in schema), explains output format (ranked list with score, confidence, signal density per entity), no output schema needed. Complete for the tool's complexity.

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 descriptions. Description adds value by clarifying that first entity in array is treated as 'subject' for narrative, which is not in 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?

Description clearly states verb 'Compare' and resource 'AI visibility across multiple entities', with explicit outcome 'ranked list with score, confidence, signal density per entity'. Distinguishes from sibling 'ai_visibility_check' (single entity) and 'compare_entities' (generic comparison).

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Provides explicit use case: 'competitive AI-marketing audits' and example question. Implicitly differentiates from single-entity check. Could have explicitly stated when not to use, but context is sufficient.

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.
