Tool DescriptionsA

Average 3.9/5 across 11 of 11 tools scored. Lowest: 2.9/5.

Server CoherenceA
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have distinct purposes focused on specific SpaceX data domains like launches, rockets, crew, and Starlink, with clear boundaries. However, 'ask_pipeworx' and 'discover_tools' overlap as general-purpose query tools, which could cause confusion in tool selection.

Naming Consistency3/5

The naming is mixed: tools like 'get_crew', 'get_latest_launch', and 'get_rockets' follow a consistent 'get_noun' pattern, but others like 'ask_pipeworx', 'discover_tools', 'forget', 'recall', and 'remember' deviate with different verb styles and conventions, reducing overall predictability.

Tool Count4/5

With 11 tools, the count is reasonable and well-scoped for a SpaceX server, covering key aspects like launches, rockets, crew, and Starlink. It's slightly heavy due to the inclusion of general-purpose tools, but each tool serves a purpose in the set.

Completeness4/5

The toolset provides good coverage for retrieving SpaceX data, including launches, rockets, crew, and Starlink, with no major gaps for core queries. However, it lacks update or action-oriented tools (e.g., for simulations or detailed mission data), which are minor omissions in an otherwise complete surface.

Available Tools

11 tools
ask_pipeworxAInspect

Ask a question in plain English and get an answer from the best available data source. Pipeworx picks the right tool, fills the arguments, and returns the result. No need to browse tools or learn schemas — just describe what you need. Examples: "What is the US trade deficit with China?", "Look up adverse events for ozempic", "Get Apple's latest 10-K filing".

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
questionYesYour question or request in natural language
Behavior4/5

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

Without annotations, the description carries full burden and provides good behavioral context: it explains that Pipeworx picks tools and fills arguments automatically, handles natural language questions, and returns results. It doesn't mention rate limits, authentication needs, or error handling, but covers core functionality well.

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?

Perfectly structured with a clear purpose statement, usage guidance, and illustrative examples in three concise sentences. Every element adds value without redundancy, making it easy to understand quickly.

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?

For a single-parameter tool with no annotations or output schema, the description provides excellent context about functionality and usage. It could mention response format or error cases, but covers the essential aspects well given the tool's simplicity.

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?

With 100% schema description coverage, the baseline is 3. The description adds meaningful context by explaining that the parameter should be a 'question or request in natural language' and provides concrete examples, enhancing understanding beyond the schema's basic type definition.

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's purpose with specific verbs ('Ask a question', 'get an answer') and resources ('best available data source'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like data retrieval or memory tools by emphasizing natural language processing and automated tool selection.

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?

It explicitly states when to use this tool ('No need to browse tools or learn schemas — just describe what you need') and provides clear examples of appropriate questions, effectively guiding users away from more specialized sibling tools.

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

discover_toolsAInspect

Search the Pipeworx tool catalog by describing what you need. Returns the most relevant tools with names and descriptions. Call this FIRST when you have 500+ tools available and need to find the right ones for your task.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
limitNoMaximum number of tools to return (default 20, max 50)
queryYesNatural language description of what you want to do (e.g., "analyze housing market trends", "look up FDA drug approvals", "find trade data between countries")
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It effectively describes the tool's behavior: it's a search operation that returns relevant tools based on a query, with an implied read-only nature (no mention of mutations). However, it lacks details on error handling, rate limits, or authentication needs, which would be beneficial for a tool discovery function.

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 front-loaded with the core purpose in the first sentence, followed by usage guidelines. Every sentence earns its place by providing essential information without redundancy, making it highly efficient and well-structured for quick understanding.

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?

Given the tool's complexity (a search function with 2 parameters) and lack of annotations or output schema, the description is mostly complete. It covers purpose, usage, and basic behavior, but could improve by mentioning output format or error cases. However, it adequately supports tool selection and invocation in most contexts.

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?

The schema description coverage is 100%, so the input schema already documents both parameters (query and limit) thoroughly. The description does not add any additional meaning or context beyond what the schema provides, such as examples of effective queries or usage tips. Thus, it meets the baseline for high schema coverage.

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's purpose with specific verbs ('Search the Pipeworx tool catalog') and resource ('tool catalog'), distinguishing it from sibling tools that focus on space-related data (e.g., get_crew, get_rockets). It explicitly mentions what it returns ('most relevant tools with names and descriptions'), making the purpose unambiguous and distinct.

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 provides explicit guidance on when to use this tool: 'Call this FIRST when you have 500+ tools available and need to find the right ones for your task.' This includes a specific condition (500+ tools) and a clear alternative scenario (finding tools for a task), with no misleading or vague instructions.

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

forgetBInspect

Delete a stored memory by key.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
keyYesMemory key to delete
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states the tool deletes a stored memory, which implies a destructive mutation, but doesn't clarify whether deletion is permanent, reversible, or requires specific permissions. For a mutation tool with zero annotation coverage, this leaves critical behavioral traits (like side effects or authorization needs) unspecified.

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 a single, efficient sentence that directly states the tool's purpose without unnecessary words. It is front-loaded with the core action ('Delete'), making it immediately clear. Every part of the sentence earns its place by specifying the resource and mechanism ('by key').

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given the tool's destructive nature (deletion), lack of annotations, and absence of an output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't address what happens on success or failure, return values, error conditions, or safety considerations. For a mutation tool with no structured safety hints, the description should provide more context to guide safe usage.

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?

The schema description coverage is 100%, with the single parameter 'key' documented as 'Memory key to delete'. The description adds no additional meaning beyond this, such as key format, examples, or constraints. Since the schema already fully describes the parameter, the baseline score of 3 is appropriate, as the description doesn't compensate but doesn't need to given complete schema coverage.

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 specific action ('Delete') and the target resource ('a stored memory by key'), making the purpose immediately understandable. It distinguishes this tool from sibling tools like 'recall' (likely for retrieving memories) and 'remember' (likely for storing memories), establishing a clear role in memory management operations.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. While it implies deletion of memories, it doesn't specify prerequisites (e.g., whether the key must exist), error conditions, or relationships to sibling tools like 'recall' or 'remember'. The agent must infer usage context from the tool name and purpose alone.

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

get_crewAInspect

List SpaceX crew members. Returns name, agency, status, wikipedia link, and image URL for each crew member.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No parameters

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It mentions the return fields (name, agency, etc.), which is helpful, but lacks details on behavioral traits such as rate limits, error handling, pagination, or data freshness. For a read operation with zero annotation coverage, this is a significant gap.

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 front-loaded with the core purpose and efficiently lists return fields in a single, well-structured sentence. There is zero waste, and every part of the description adds value without redundancy.

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

Completeness3/5

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

Given the tool's simplicity (0 parameters, no output schema, no annotations), the description is adequate but has clear gaps. It explains what is returned but lacks context on data scope (e.g., all historical crew or current), limitations, or error cases, which could be important for an AI agent.

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?

The input schema has 0 parameters with 100% coverage, so no parameter documentation is needed. The description appropriately does not discuss parameters, earning a baseline score of 4 for not adding unnecessary information beyond what the schema provides.

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 specific action ('List') and resource ('SpaceX crew members'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like get_rockets or get_starlink. It provides a complete picture of what the tool does without being tautological.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description implies usage when information about SpaceX crew members is needed, but it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives or provide any exclusions. There is no guidance on prerequisites or context for selection among siblings.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a zero-parameter tool with no annotations or output schema, the description provides complete context on what it does and returns. It could be slightly improved by mentioning data freshness or source, but it's largely adequate.

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?

The input schema has 0 parameters with 100% coverage, so no parameter documentation is needed. The description appropriately focuses on output semantics without redundant parameter info, earning a baseline 4 for zero-parameter tools.

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's purpose with a specific verb ('Get') and resource ('most recent SpaceX launch'), and distinguishes it from siblings like 'get_next_launch' and 'get_past_launches' by specifying 'most recent'.

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 implies usage context by specifying 'most recent' launch, which helps differentiate it from 'get_next_launch' (future) and 'get_past_launches' (historical). However, it lacks explicit when-not-to-use guidance or named alternatives.

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

get_next_launchAInspect

Get the next upcoming SpaceX launch. Returns launch name, date, details, and rocket id.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

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?

Given the tool's simplicity (0 parameters, no output schema, no annotations), the description is mostly complete, covering purpose and return values. However, without an output schema, it could benefit from more detail on the format or structure of the returned data, slightly reducing completeness.

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?

The tool has 0 parameters with 100% schema description coverage, so the schema already fully documents the lack of inputs. The description does not add parameter information, but this is acceptable as there are no parameters to explain, warranting a baseline score above the minimum.

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 specific action ('Get'), resource ('next upcoming SpaceX launch'), and scope ('next upcoming'), distinguishing it from siblings like get_latest_launch or get_past_launches. It explicitly identifies what makes this tool unique in the context of sibling tools.

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 implies usage context by specifying 'next upcoming' launch, which helps differentiate it from get_latest_launch (which might refer to the most recent completed launch) and get_past_launches. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or name alternatives, keeping it from a perfect score.

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

get_past_launchesAInspect

Get recent past SpaceX launches sorted by date descending. Returns name, date, success status, and details for each launch.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
limitNoNumber of launches to return (default 10)
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It discloses that results are sorted by date descending and includes default behavior (limit defaults to 10), adding useful context. However, it doesn't cover potential rate limits, error handling, or authentication needs, leaving gaps for a read operation.

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 a single, efficient sentence that front-loads the core purpose and includes key details like sorting and return fields. There is zero waste, and every part earns its place by adding value.

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?

For a simple read tool with one optional parameter and no output schema, the description is mostly complete, covering purpose, behavior, and return format. However, it lacks details on pagination or error cases, which could be useful given the absence of annotations and output schema.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents the 'limit' parameter with its default. The description adds no additional parameter details beyond what the schema provides, such as range constraints or examples, but doesn't need to compensate heavily given the high coverage.

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's purpose with specific verbs ('Get recent past SpaceX launches') and resources ('SpaceX launches'), distinguishing it from siblings like get_latest_launch or get_next_launch by specifying 'past' launches.

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states the specific action ('List all SpaceX rockets') and resource ('SpaceX rockets'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like get_crew or get_latest_launch. It provides a precise verb+resource combination that leaves no ambiguity about what the tool does.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

The description offers no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like get_past_launches or get_starlink. It simply states what the tool does without mentioning any context, prerequisites, or exclusions, leaving the agent to infer usage based on tool names alone.

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

recallAInspect

Retrieve a previously stored memory by key, or list all stored memories (omit key). Use this to retrieve context you saved earlier in the session or in previous sessions.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
keyNoMemory key to retrieve (omit to list all keys)
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It discloses that memories can be retrieved from 'earlier in the session or in previous sessions,' indicating persistence across sessions. However, it doesn't mention rate limits, authentication needs, error conditions, or whether the operation is read-only (though 'retrieve' implies it).

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 efficiently structured in two sentences. The first sentence states the purpose and parameter logic, while the second provides usage context. Every phrase adds value with zero wasted words, making it easy to parse.

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

Completeness3/5

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

Given the tool's moderate complexity (retrieval with optional listing), no annotations, and no output schema, the description is adequate but has gaps. It explains what the tool does and when to use it, but doesn't describe the return format (e.g., structure of retrieved memories or list), error cases, or session persistence details.

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?

The input schema has 100% description coverage, so the baseline is 3. The description adds value by explaining the conditional behavior: 'omit key' triggers listing all memories, which clarifies the parameter's optional nature and its effect on tool behavior beyond what the schema states.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Retrieve a previously stored memory by key, or list all stored memories (omit key).' It specifies the verb ('retrieve'/'list') and resource ('memory'), but doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'remember' or 'forget' beyond mentioning 'context you saved earlier.'

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 provides clear context for when to use the tool: 'Use this to retrieve context you saved earlier in the session or in previous sessions.' It also explains the conditional logic: 'omit key' to list all memories. However, it doesn't explicitly state when NOT to use it or name alternatives among siblings like 'discover_tools' or 'get_*' tools.

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

rememberAInspect

Store a key-value pair in your session memory. Use this to save intermediate findings, user preferences, or context across tool calls. Authenticated users get persistent memory; anonymous sessions last 24 hours.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
keyYesMemory key (e.g., "subject_property", "target_ticker", "user_preference")
valueYesValue to store (any text — findings, addresses, preferences, notes)
Behavior5/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It effectively describes key behavioral traits: the persistence mechanism (authenticated users get persistent memory; anonymous sessions last 24 hours) and the tool's role in maintaining state across tool calls. This goes beyond the basic 'store' action to explain how the memory works in practice.

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 front-loaded with the core purpose in the first sentence, followed by usage context and behavioral details. Every sentence earns its place by adding value—no wasted words. It's appropriately sized for a tool with two parameters and no annotations.

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?

Given the tool's moderate complexity (2 parameters, no output schema, no annotations), the description is largely complete. It covers purpose, usage, and behavioral context well. However, it lacks details on error cases (e.g., what happens if the key already exists) or return values, which would be needed for a perfect score without an output schema.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the schema already fully documents both parameters (key and value). The description does not add any additional semantic meaning beyond what the schema provides (e.g., it doesn't explain constraints or usage patterns for parameters). Baseline 3 is appropriate when the schema does the heavy lifting.

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 specific action ('Store a key-value pair') and resource ('in your session memory'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like 'recall' (retrieval) and 'forget' (deletion). It provides concrete examples of what can be stored ('intermediate findings, user preferences, or context across tool calls'), making the purpose unambiguous.

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 explicitly states when to use this tool ('to save intermediate findings, user preferences, or context across tool calls'), providing clear context. However, it does not mention when not to use it or name specific alternatives among siblings (e.g., 'recall' for retrieval), which prevents a perfect score.

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