Read-onlyIdempotent

"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.

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint. The description adds significant behavioral context beyond annotations: it fans out to multiple sources (SEC EDGAR, GDELT/GNews, USPTO), describes fallback logic, mentions soft-fail for patents, and details the return structure (grouped changes, total_changes, 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.

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is concise (3 sentences) and well-structured: front-loaded with query examples, then explains data sources and fallback, then parameter notes. Every sentence adds value without redundancy.

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?

Given the tool's complexity (multiple sources, fallback, parameter formats) and lack of output schema, the description is complete. It explains the return format (changes array, total_changes, citation URIs) and covers all necessary behavioral aspects.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds value by providing concrete examples for 'since' (ISO date and relative like '7d', '30d'), explaining that 'value' can be a ticker or zero-padded CIK, and clarifying that 'type' only supports 'company'. This enriches the schema descriptions.

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 provides a change feed for a company (SEC filings, news, patents) within a time window, using specific verbs like 'change feed' and explicitly distinguishing from the sibling tool 'entity_profile' which returns static profile data.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

The description gives explicit examples of when to use the tool (e.g., 'What's new with X', 'latest on Y') and explicitly states to use 'entity_profile' instead when a static profile is needed regardless of window. It also covers fallback behavior between GDELT and GNews for news sources.

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

TDQS

B3.4/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Many tools have overlapping purposes, especially the query tools (ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research, validate_claim) and prediction market tools (bet_research, polymarket_arbitrage, polymarket_edges). The Sefaria-specific tools are few, making it hard to distinguish between the core functionality and auxiliary utilities.

Naming Consistency2/5

Tool names follow inconsistent conventions: some use verb_noun (ask_pipeworx, get_text), some noun_verb (ai_visibility_check, bet_research), and some are standalone names (pipeworx_feedback, polymarket_edges). This mix of patterns makes the set appear haphazard.

Tool Count1/5

With 33 tools, the server is heavily overloaded, especially given the name 'Sefaria' which implies a focused set for Jewish text access. The vast majority of tools are unrelated to Sefaria, belonging to the Pipeworx ecosystem, making the count inappropriate for the server's stated purpose.

Completeness1/5

For a server named Sefaria, the tool surface is severely incomplete. Only three tools (get_text, get_commentaries, lookup_ref) directly relate to Jewish texts, missing fundamental operations like search, list books, or manage content. The remaining 30 tools belong to other domains, leaving the core domain under-served.
