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).

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already provide readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, so the description is not burdened with those. It adds context by stating that results include full input schemas with curated examples (ready to call) and that it returns the top-N most relevant tools. This goes beyond the annotations and helps the agent understand the tool's behavior.

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 three sentences long with no wasted words. It front-loads the purpose and usage, then adds behavioral context and a clear directive ('Call this FIRST'). Every sentence earns its place.

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 low complexity (2 distinct parameters, no output schema), the description is largely complete. It explains the return format (top-N tools with names, descriptions, and schemas) and provides usage advice. Minor gaps include the default limit (20) and max limit (50), but these are in the schema. Overall, sufficient for an agent.

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% (all parameters have descriptions). The description does not add new meaning beyond what the schema already provides regarding the 'query' parameter and its aliases. The examples in the schema are helpful, but the tool description itself does not augment parameter semantics. 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 tool's purpose: 'Find tools by describing the data or task.' It provides a long list of example domains (SEC filings, financials, FDA drugs, etc.) and explains that it returns top-N relevant tools with full input schemas ready to call. This distinguishes it from sibling tools that are more specific (e.g., deep_research, compare_entities).

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 gives clear when-to-use guidance and implies when not to use (if the agent already knows which tool to call). No exclusions are needed; the context is sufficient.

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

A3.6/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

ask_pipeworx_beta is explicitly identical to ask_pipeworx today, and ask_pipeworx_grounded is another variant of the same router, so an agent can easily misselect. Additionally, bet_research, polymarket_edges, and polymarket_arbitrage all present as prediction-market opportunity finders with overlapping responsibilities.

Naming Consistency3/5

Most tools follow snake_case verb_noun (ask_pipeworx, list_subscriptions, resolve_entity, unsubscribe, validate_claim), but several break the pattern with noun phrases like polymarket_edges and pipeworx_trending, plus oddities like startup_oracle_evaluate. The mix is readable but not predictable.

Tool Count2/5

32 tools is well over the 25 threshold and the set is not tightly scoped: prediction markets alone account for six overlapping tools, and the server also bundles memory, subscriptions, npm dependency scanning, llms.txt generation, and AI visibility checks. ask_pipeworx_beta adds a duplicate that does not earn its slot.

Completeness3/5

As a read-heavy research gateway, the surface is broad: lookups, profiles, comparisons, verification, deep research, discovery, and citation handling are covered, and the subscription/memory helpers have their own lifecycle operations. But the 'Startup Oracle' mission is thin — startup-specific evaluation is a single joke tool, and there is no way to update subscriptions or act on research findings beyond saving memory.
