Discover Tools

discover_tools
Read-onlyIdempotent

Find tools by describing the data or task. Use when you need to browse, search, look up, or discover what tools exist for: SEC filings, financials, revenue, profit, FDA drugs, adverse events, FRED economic data, Census demographics, BLS jobs/unemployment/inflation, ATTOM real estate, ClinicalTrials, USPTO patents, weather, news, crypto, stocks. Returns the top-N most relevant tools with names, descriptions, and full input schemas (with curated examples) — each result is ready to call directly, no second schema lookup needed. Call this FIRST when you have many tools available and want to see the option set (not just one answer).

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true. The description adds that it returns top-N most relevant tools with full input schemas and curated examples, ready to call directly, which goes beyond annotations but is not critical. 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.

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is concise (three sentences) and front-loaded with the main action. It efficiently covers purpose, usage, and return type 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?

Despite lacking an output schema, the description fully explains what is returned (top-N tools with names, descriptions, and full input schemas with examples). It also covers parameter aliases and example queries, making it complete for a discovery tool.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, providing descriptions for all 6 parameters. The description mentions the query parameter and gives examples, but doesn't add substantial meaning 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.

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states the verb 'Find' and the resource 'tools'. It provides examples of use cases (SEC filings, FDA drugs, etc.) and distinguishes this tool from siblings by specifying it returns ready-to-call tool definitions, emphasizing its role for browsing/discovery.

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 explicitly advises 'Call this FIRST when you have many tools available and want to see the option set (not just one answer).' This provides clear when-to-use guidance and implies when not-to-use (when the specific tool is already known).

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

A4.1/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have clearly distinct purposes, but there is some overlap: ask_pipeworx and ask_pipeworx_grounded are very similar, and the multiple Polymarket tools could be confused. The memory tools (remember, recall, forget) are distinct.

Naming Consistency3/5

Tool names consistently use snake_case, but the pattern is not strictly verb_noun. Some names are descriptive phrases (e.g., scan_competitor_ai_presence), while others are straightforward (e.g., keyword_overview). Overall readable but not highly consistent.

Tool Count3/5

32 tools is on the high side for a single server, but the scope is broad (SEO, finance, FDA, betting, memory). The tool count feels slightly excessive, yet each tool appears justified by its specific use case.

Completeness4/5

The tool set covers a wide range of business research needs: SEO, SEC filings, FDA data, betting analytics, and memory. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no direct social media or HR data), but the coverage is impressive for a general-purpose data server.
