"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.

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already indicate read-only, idempotent, non-destructive. Description adds value by detailing the multi-source fan-out, rate-limit fallback, and PatentsView API sunset, which are not in annotations.

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?

Single paragraph with high information density. Well front-loaded with usage examples. Could be slightly more structured (e.g., bullet points) but remains concise.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Despite no output schema, description covers return structure (changes grouped by source, total_changes, citation URIs). All three parameters are well described. Complete within its scope.

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 has 100% description coverage. Description supplements with useful context: ISO/relative shorthand for 'since', examples, and allowed values for 'type'. Adds meaning beyond 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?

Explicitly defines the tool as a change feed for a company, with concrete examples ("What's new with X") and specific data sources (SEC, GDELT/GNews, USPTO). Clearly distinguishes from sibling entity_profile.

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?

States when to use (for recent changes in a time window) and explicitly advises using entity_profile for static profiles. Also describes fallback behavior between GDELT and GNews.

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

A3.8/5.0
Disambiguation3/5

Many tools have overlapping purposes, such as ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research, and bet_research all querying data but with nuanced differences. The descriptions help but boundaries remain fuzzy, especially between ask_pipeworx and deep_research for broad vs. single lookups. Overall moderate ambiguity.

Naming Consistency2/5

Naming is inconsistent: some tools use snake_case (ask_pipeworx, ai_visibility_check), others use camelCase (serpapi_google_jobs), and patterns vary widely (e.g., pipeworx_feedback vs. compare_entities). Only the serpapi_google_* group follows a consistent pattern.

Tool Count3/5

36 tools is on the high side for a single server, with many meta-tools (discover_tools, suggest_questions) and niche prediction market tools. The scope seems overly broad, covering data lookup, prediction markets, memory, and subscriptions, which could be streamlined to a more focused set.

Completeness3/5

The server covers a wide range of domains (financial, economic, news, drugs, prediction markets, Google services), but lacks direct web search and write/update capabilities. While the coverage is broad, there are notable gaps (e.g., no generic web search, limited tool for modifying data) for a data-focused server.
