Tool Definition Quality
Average 4.5/5 across 36 of 36 tools scored.
Several tool families have heavy internal overlap: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, and ask_pipeworx_grounded are near-identical routers; scan_competitor_ai_presence wraps ai_visibility_check; discover_tools and suggest_questions both serve discovery. The long descriptions help, but an agent must read carefully to pick the right one.
Tool names consistently use lowercase snake_case and mostly follow verb_noun (e.g., resolve_entity, validate_claim, list_subscriptions). Minor deviations: plain nouns like recall/remember/forget/subjects, and compound names like stat_ee_find_table and ai_visibility_check. Overall pattern is predictable and readable.
36 tools is excessive for a server named 'Stat Ee' when only 5 tools actually serve Estonian statistics; the rest are a general Pipeworx/prediction-market/memory toolkit. The broad scope inflates the count and dilutes the server's apparent purpose.
Within its actual (broader) scope, the surface is quite complete: data lookup via ask_pipeworx/deep_research, entity tools, validation, prediction-market analysis, memory, subscriptions, and Estonia stats all have full lifecycle coverage. Minor gaps: patent data soft-fails, and there is no direct 'list all packs' tool, but discover_tools covers this.
Available Tools
36 toolsai_visibility_checkAI Visibility CheckARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Probe one or more LLMs for what they know about a business / brand / product / topic and score visibility (0-100) per model. Default model is Workers AI Llama-3.3-70b (free); pass _apiKey to also probe Anthropic (BYO key — you pay Anthropic directly for those calls). Returns per-model {score, confidence, signals, raw_response} + a combined view. Useful for AI-marketing audits, pre-launch brand checks, competitive monitoring.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| entity | Yes | The thing to ask about. Brand/business name, product name, person, or topic. E.g. "Pipeworx", "OpenInvoice", "Acme Corp pricing". | |
| models | No | Which models to probe. Supported: "workers-ai" (free default), "anthropic" (requires _apiKey). Omit for just workers-ai. | |
| _apiKey | No | Optional Anthropic API key (sk-ant-...) — only needed if "anthropic" is in models. Passed straight through to api.anthropic.com. | |
| context | No | Optional: a phrase locating the entity (e.g. "Boston restaurant", "B2B SaaS"). Helps disambiguate common names. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent, yet the description adds meaningful behavioral context: the default model is free, passing `_apiKey` incurs direct Anthropic costs, and the return structure includes per-model {score, confidence, signals, raw_response} plus a combined view. It also implies external network calls to LLMs, which is a key behavioral trait not captured 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is three tightly-written sentences: purpose+scoring, default and key-based model expansion, and return format+use cases. No wasted words; front-loaded with the core purpose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite no output schema, the description clearly specifies the return structure per model and combined view, explains the two model options and the API key requirement, and lists concrete use cases. This is sufficient for an agent to select and invoke the tool correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds value by explaining the cost implication of `_apiKey` (BYO key, pay Anthropic directly) and the default model behavior for `models` (default to Workers AI). This extra context enriches parameter semantics beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb ('Probe') and clearly identifies the resource (LLMs), what it measures (visibility 0-100), and the output format. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like ask_pipeworx by framing it as a scored audit rather than a Q&A, and mentions concrete use cases (AI-marketing audits, pre-launch checks, competitive monitoring).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides explicit use-case context ('Useful for...') and explains when to pass `_apiKey` (to also probe Anthropic). It does not explicitly name alternatives or give 'when not to use' exclusions, but the use-case framing is clear enough for an agent to select it over similar query tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
ask_pipeworxAsk PipeworxARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for questions about current or historical data: SEC filings, FDA drug data, FRED/BLS economic statistics, government records, USPTO patents, ATTOM real estate, weather, clinical trials, news, stocks, crypto, sports, academic papers, or anything requiring authoritative structured data with citations. Routes the question to the right one of 5,462 tools across 1419 verified sources, fills arguments, returns the structured answer with stable pipeworx:// citation URIs. Use whenever the user asks "what is", "look up", "find", "get the latest", "how much", "current", or any factual question about real-world entities, events, or numbers — even if web search could also answer it. Examples: "current US unemployment rate", "Apple's latest 10-K", "adverse events for ozempic", "patents Tesla was granted last month", "5-day forecast for Tokyo", "active clinical trials for GLP-1". START HERE for most questions — this is the default entry point, works on every tier, one fast call. Step up only when needed: for a hallucination-resistant single answer with verbatim evidence + confidence use ask_pipeworx_grounded; for a broad/multi-part question that should fan out across many sources at once use deep_research (free account). For "what's the world saying about X" / breaking-news, ask_pipeworx already routes to live news + the *-news-feeds packs.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |

| q | No | Alias for question. | |
| text | No | Alias for question. | |
| input | No | Alias for question. | |
| query | No | Alias for question. | |

| question | Yes | Your question or request in natural language. Accepts query, q, prompt, text, input as aliases. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already establish read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive behavior. The description adds behavioral context beyond annotations: it states the tool 'routes the question', 'fills arguments', and returns 'stable pipeworx:// citation URIs', plus noting it works on every tier and is a single fast call. No contradictions 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Though lengthy, every sentence serves a purpose: scope, alternatives, examples, and priority. The description is front-loaded with the most important directive ('PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH') and organizes information in a logical flow without redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a routing tool with no output schema, the description provides sufficient context: it covers when to use, what it does, examples, alternatives, and what the response looks like (structured with citation URIs). The annotations supply safety and idempotency details, making the overall picture complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema covers all parameters with descriptions and aliases, so the baseline is 3. The description adds value by giving example queries and specifying natural-language phrasing expectations ('what is', 'look up', 'find'), which helps the agent understand what the 'question' parameter should contain.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's function: it routes factual questions to the appropriate tool among 5,462 verified sources and returns structured answers with citations. It distinguishes itself from siblings like ask_pipeworx_grounded and deep_research by positioning itself as the default entry point.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicit when-to-use guidance is provided: 'PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH' and 'START HERE for most questions'. It also names alternatives for specific cases: 'ask_pipeworx_grounded' for hallucination-resistant answers and 'deep_research' for multi-part questions, with example queries that make usage concrete.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
ask_pipeworx_betaAsk Pipeworx BetaARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Beta version of ask_pipeworx: identical universal router (same 5,462 tools, same arguments, same response shape) with candidate routing improvements enabled live whenever one is under test. No candidate is active right now (the last was retired on outcome evidence 2026-07-26), so this currently matches ask_pipeworx exactly. Use it exactly like ask_pipeworx when you want the newest routing; results are compared against the stable router to decide what merges. Falls back to nothing — this IS a full working router, just the experimental edge.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| q | No | Alias for question. | |
| text | No | Alias for question. | |
| input | No | Alias for question. | |
| query | No | Alias for question. | |
| prompt | No | Alias for question. | |
| question | Yes | Your question or request in natural language. Accepts query, q, prompt, text, input as aliases. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Beyond the annotations (readOnly, openWorld, idempotent, non-destructive), the description discloses that this is a beta with candidate routing improvements, that no candidate is currently active (retired on a specific date), and that it currently matches ask_pipeworx exactly. It also clarifies 'Falls back to nothing — this IS a full working router,' which adds context about its reliability. No contradiction with the annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is four sentences and front-loaded with the most important fact: 'Beta version of ask_pipeworx.' Each sentence contributes information about status, current behavior, usage, and fallback, though some redundancy exists (e.g., 'full working router' re-emphasizes early points). It is slightly longer than necessary but remains focused and well-structured.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description is complete for this tool's complexity. It covers identity (beta ask_pipeworx), current state (no active candidate, matches stable), usage instruction (use like ask_pipeworx for newest routing), and response shape (same as ask_pipeworx). Since there is no output schema, the description explicitly addresses what to expect in return. All necessary context is provided for an agent to select and invoke the tool correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema already provides 100% coverage with clear descriptions for 'question' and all aliases, so the baseline is 3. The tool description adds only 'same arguments' as ask_pipeworx, which is generic and doesn't deepen understanding of the parameters. Since the schema fully documents semantics, the description doesn't need to compensate, and it doesn't.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly identifies this as a beta version of ask_pipeworx, an 'identical universal router' with the same 5,462 tools, arguments, and response shape. It distinguishes from the stable sibling by noting it is the experimental edge, which is specific and not a tautology. The purpose is clear enough even if 'router' is not explicitly defined, but the parameter 'question' and context make it understandable.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly states 'Use it exactly like ask_pipeworx when you want the newest routing,' giving a direct when-to-use instruction. It also mentions that results are compared against the stable router to decide what merges, providing context on the experimentation workflow. It does not explicitly state when not to use, but the 'beta' and 'experimental edge' labels imply caution for production use.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
ask_pipeworx_groundedAsk Pipeworx — GroundedARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Hallucination-resistant answer mode for high-stakes reads. Same routing as ask_pipeworx — picks the right tool from 5,462 across 1419 sources, fills arguments, fetches the data — then EXTRACTS the answer using ONLY what the tool result contains. Returns {answer, evidence (verbatim quote), confidence, source, fetched_at, refusal_reason:null} on success, OR an explicit refusal {answer:null, refusal_reason:"not_in_source"|"no_tool_match"|"tool_error"|"data_truncated"|"llm_error"} when the data doesn't directly answer. Use whenever an answer will be quoted, cited, or acted on, and the agent must not invent facts (financial verdicts, legal claims, medical lookups, public statements). Costs one extra LLM call vs ask_pipeworx — prefer ask_pipeworx for casual lookups.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| q | No | Alias for question. | |
| text | No | Alias for question. | |
| input | No | Alias for question. | |
| query | No | Alias for question. | |
| prompt | No | Alias for question. | |
| question | Yes | Your question in natural language. Accepts query, q, prompt, text, input as aliases. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Beyond annotations, the description discloses return shape, refusal reasons (not_in_source, no_tool_match, etc.), and the grounded extraction behavior. It also notes the extra LLM call and the constraint of using only tool content, giving a complete behavioral picture.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is dense but front-loaded with the core purpose, followed by operational details and usage guidance. Every sentence adds value, but the inline return-schema strings make it slightly longer than necessary.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With no output schema, the description fully explains the return structure, refusal reasons, and cost implications. It provides enough context about routing, tool count, and when to use, making it complete for correct invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema already documents all 6 parameters with 100% coverage, all being aliases for 'question'. The description adds no additional parameter semantics beyond what the schema provides; it relies on the schema's clear alias descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states a specific purpose: a hallucination-resistant answer mode that extracts answers using only tool results. It distinguishes itself from sibling ask_pipeworx by emphasizing evidence and explicit refusal, making the intent unmistakable.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly says when to use it (answers that will be quoted, cited, or acted on) and when not to (casual lookups, where ask_pipeworx is preferred). It also mentions the extra LLM call cost as a trade-off, providing clear selection guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
bet_researchBet ResearchARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Research a Polymarket bet by pulling the relevant Pipeworx data for it in one call. Pass a market slug ("will-bitcoin-hit-150k-by-june-30-2026"), a polymarket.com URL, or a question text. The tool resolves the market, classifies the bet, fans out to category-specific data packs in parallel, and returns an evidence packet + simple market-vs-model comparison. Use for "should I bet on X", "what does the data say about Y", or "is there edge in Z". CLASSIFIERS: crypto_price, fed_rate, geopolitical, sports, sports_championship, drug_approval, election_candidate, tech_launch, space_launch, corporate, corporate_earnings, corporate_event, public_figure_speech, weather, other. FAN-OUT EXAMPLES: BTC bet → coingecko + fred + gdelt+gnews; Fed bet → fred (DFEDTARU + EFFR + CPIAUCSL) + kalshi_macro (KXFED implied probs) + recent_fed_actions (federal-register rules, last 365d); Hormuz bet → imf_portwatch + airspace + gdelt; Yankees WS → mlb_stats_standings + parent_event partition + news; hottest-year bet → climate_projection_nyc + gistemp_latest (NASA global anomaly, rank since 1880) + news; NVDA-vs-AAPL → finnhub get_quote + edgar shares-outstanding (derived market cap) + edgar filings + news. RESPONSE SHAPES: result.market carries best_bid/best_ask/spread_pp/liquidity/price_change_1h/1d/1w; result.analysis carries model_probability/edge_pp/kelly_fraction_half when a closed-form model fires PLUS a 24h-move warning ("Market moved X.Xpp in 24h, comparable to model edge — your edge may already be priced in") when relevant; result.evidence is keyed by source. RESOLVER CONTRACT: result.market_match_confidence ∈ {high, medium, low, none}, market_match_score (0-1 token-overlap), market_match_alternatives[] (other candidate markets the resolver considered), and suggestions[] (explicit re-query hints when the match is fuzzy) — ALWAYS inspect these before trusting the analysis block, because medium/low matches can still surface other fields. PARENT_EVENT EXTRACTOR: when the bet is one leg of a partition (Yankees WS, Romania election), result.parent_event{matched_candidate, top_legs_by_price[], partition_size, placeholders_filtered} gives you the peer prices in one place — that's the headline for elections/championships. NEWS FIELDS: news entries carry _fallback_attempted / _fallback_failed_reason / retry_after_sec when GDELT 429s and GNews backfill ran or failed. SAFETY: low-confidence resolutions short-circuit with status:"low_confidence_match" and suppress analysis fields so agents can't accidentally size on phantom matches. Closed/dead markets that ARE still indexed by Polymarket (yes_price≈0, no volume, no liquidity) return status:"market_closed_or_inactive" and skip fan-out. In practice resolved markets are usually de-indexed and instead surface via the low_confidence_match path above — both routes are BLOCKING, just different mechanisms. Wide-spread markets (>10pp) carry tradeability:"illiquid_wide_spread" + an explanatory note. RESOLUTION-RULE RISK: market.cancellation_rule parses the void/postponement settlement out of the resolution text — refund_50_50 (shares settle flat 50¢ on void; EV-material for any entry away from 50¢, with ev_impact quantified), resolves_no_on_cancel, resolves_yes_on_cancel, carries_to_reschedule, or mentioned_unclear. null means the description never mentions cancellation. Check this before sizing sports/esports/event-occurrence bets — audited arb-bot ledgers show flat-50¢ void settlements are a recurring pure-rules loss.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| depth | No | quick = 2-3 evidence sources, thorough = full fan-out. Default thorough. | |
| market | Yes | Polymarket slug ("will-bitcoin-hit-150k-by-june-30-2026"), full URL ("https://polymarket.com/event/..."), or question text ("Will Bitcoin hit $150k by June 30?") | |
| include_raw | No | Default false. When false (recommended), FRED/FDA/GDELT/Federal-Register evidence is summarized to the few fields agents actually use — keeps responses under ~20KB. Pass true to get full upstream payloads (50KB-500KB) when you need to recompute deltas, cite specific observations, or post-process. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description goes far beyond the annotations by disclosing the resolver contract, status codes (low_confidence_match, market_closed_or_inactive), fan-out behavior, safety short-circuiting, and cancellation-rule handling. This provides rich behavioral context beyond the readOnly/idempotent hints.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is lengthy but well-structured with labeled sections (CLASSIFIERS, FAN-OUT EXAMPLES, RESPONSE SHAPES, RESOLVER CONTRACT, etc.). It is front-loaded with the core purpose and use cases. Some redundancy exists (e.g., blocking routes repeated), but overall each section earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With no output schema, the description thoroughly explains the return shapes (market, analysis, evidence), the resolver contract, parent_event extractor, news fallback fields, and safety statuses. It even covers cancellation-rule risk, making the tool fully usable without additional documentation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description does not add new parameter-level semantics beyond what the schema already states (market can be slug/URL/question); it merely repeats examples and adds response-shape context, not parameter meaning.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description opens with a specific verb+resource: 'Research a Polymarket bet by pulling the relevant Pipeworx data for it in one call.' It clearly distinguishes this from sibling tools like polymarket_arbitrage/edges by focusing on per-bet research, and gives explicit use cases ('should I bet on X', etc.).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicit 'Use for' guidance covers the primary intents: 'should I bet on X', 'what does the data say about Y', 'is there edge in Z'. However, it does not name alternatives or state when NOT to use this tool, so it falls short of a 5.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
compare_entitiesCompare EntitiesARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
"Compare X and Y" / "X vs Y" / "X versus Y" / "which is bigger / better / larger / more profitable" / "rank these companies" / "head to head" — side-by-side comparison of 2–5 companies or drugs in ONE parallel call. ALWAYS PREFER over sequential single-pack lookups when comparing entities. type="company" pulls LATEST 10-K revenue + net income + cash + long-term debt from SEC EDGAR/XBRL (off-calendar fiscal years handled correctly — AAPL Sep, NVDA Jan, etc.). type="drug" pulls FAERS adverse-event counts, FDA approval counts, active trial counts. Results sorted by primary metric so "largest" / "most" / "biggest" reads off the top of the response. Returns paired data + pipeworx:// citation URIs per entity. Replaces 8–15 sequential lookups.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| type | Yes | Entity type: "company" or "drug". | |
| values | Yes | For company: 2–5 tickers/CIKs (e.g., ["AAPL","MSFT"]). For drug: 2–5 names (e.g., ["ozempic","mounjaro"]). |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive behavior. The description adds valuable behavioral detail beyond annotations: it lists specific data sources (SEC EDGAR/XBRL, FAERS), mentions handling of off-calendar fiscal years, describes sorting by primary metric, and states the return format (paired data + citation URIs). This fully discloses behavior, with no contradiction to annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is dense but every sentence earns its place. It front-loads with examples, then provides preference guidance, per-type details, fiscal-year handling, sorting behavior, and efficiency benefits. No wasted words; it's well-structured and appropriately sized for the tool's complexity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
This is a complex tool with two entity types and no output schema. The description covers all essential context: what data is pulled for each type, fiscal-year handling, result sorting, return format, and efficiency. It leaves no meaningful gaps for the intended use case.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Although the schema already describes both parameters, the description adds substantial meaning: for 'type', it explains the different data sources and fiscal-year handling for 'company' vs 'drug'; for 'values', it gives concrete examples (tickers vs names) and explains the min/max. This goes far beyond the schema descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description is extremely clear: it states the tool performs side-by-side comparison of 2–5 companies or drugs in one call. It uses specific verbs like 'compare' and 'rank', and provides trigger examples ('X vs Y', 'which is bigger'). It also explicitly distinguishes from sequential single-pack lookups, making its unique purpose unmistakable.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly states 'ALWAYS PREFER over sequential single-pack lookups when comparing entities', providing a clear directive for when to use this tool instead of alternatives. It also explains what each type ('company' vs 'drug') does, giving concrete context for choosing the right mode.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
deep_researchDeep ResearchARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
ACCOUNT REQUIRED (free — sign in via GitHub at https://pipeworx.io/signup; depth:"thorough" needs a paid plan). If you are not signed in, use ask_pipeworx instead — it works on every tier. Grounded multi-source research across Pipeworx's 1419 STRUCTURED data sources (SEC filings, FRED/BLS economics, FDA, USPTO patents, markets, science, government records, etc.) in ONE call — this is NOT open-web search. Decomposes your question into focused facets, routes each to the right one of 5,462 tools IN PARALLEL, and returns a findings packet: verbatim evidence + confidence + source + fetched_at + a stable pipeworx:// citation per finding, with explicit gaps[] for facets the data couldn't answer (never invented). Best for broad/multi-part questions over structured data ("compare X and Y's regulatory + financial exposure", "research the filings + market picture for ACME"). For a single lookup use ask_pipeworx (one LLM call, not many). For BREAKING or colloquial CURRENT-NEWS / "what's the world saying about X" topics, prefer ask_pipeworx — it routes to live news APIs and the *-news-feeds packs; deep_research returns mostly empty gaps[] when the topic isn't in the structured catalog. Second-hop iteration: depth:"standard" re-angles unanswered gaps (gap recovery); depth:"thorough" additionally chases the best leads from the first pass — so multi-step questions resolve in one call. Every finding carries a hop field and a citation_uri — a resolvable pipeworx:// record URI, present only when the source emits one that resources/read can actually serve, so a citation you get back is always fetchable. "standard" and "thorough" also return contradictions[] flagging findings that disagree. Large records are semantically excerpted to the passages relevant to each facet (not head-truncated), so answers deep in a long filing/series aren't missed. Expect 15-60s (thorough with its follow-up + contradiction pass: up to ~90s).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| depth | No | How many facets to research in parallel: quick=3 (single hop), standard=5 (default; adds a gap-recovery hop that re-angles unanswered facets + a contradictions[] scan across findings), thorough=8 (paid; adds a full iterative hop that chases leads + recovers gaps, plus the contradictions[] scan). | |
| question | Yes | The research question, in natural language. Broad/multi-part is fine — decomposition is the point. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Adds extensive behavior beyond annotations: expected latency (15-60s, up to ~90s), return packet structure (verbatim evidence, confidence, source, fetched_at, pipeworx:// citation), gap[] handling, contradictions[] for deeper depths, the guarantee that findings are never invented, and semantic excerpting of large records. No contradiction with annotations (readOnlyHint=true, openWorldHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false).
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is long but information-dense; every sentence adds operational detail. However, it opens with the account requirement and fallback directive rather than the core purpose, which slightly weakens front-loading. Still, no filler or redundancy—just a wall of high-value text.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, this description fully covers return values, edge cases (unanswerable facets, empty gaps), limitations (not open-web, news topics), citation fetchability, and performance expectations. It leaves no important question unanswered for an agent deciding to invoke this tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with detailed descriptions of both parameters. The description adds extra context: the 'thorough' depth requires a paid plan, explains the iterative hop behavior for second-hop recovery, and clarifies that the question parameter is suited to broad/multi-part queries. This goes beyond the schema's already solid coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states the tool's function: 'Grounded multi-source research across Pipeworx's 1419 STRUCTURED data sources... in ONE call' and details the decomposition/parallel routing behavior. It explicitly distinguishes itself from ask_pipeworx ('For a single lookup use ask_pipeworx'), making the scope unmistakable.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Provides explicit when-to-use and when-not-to-use guidance: 'For a single lookup use ask_pipeworx', 'For BREAKING or colloquial CURRENT-NEWS... prefer ask_pipeworx', and 'If you are not signed in, use ask_pipeworx instead'. Names the alternative directly and explains the type of questions this tool is best for ('broad/multi-part questions over structured data').
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
discover_toolsDiscover ToolsARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
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).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| q | No | Alias for query. | |
| task | No | Alias for query. | |
| limit | No | Maximum number of tools to return (default 20, max 50) | |
| query | Yes | Natural language description of what you want to do (e.g., "analyze housing market trends", "look up FDA drug approvals", "find trade data between countries"). Accepts task, q, description, search as aliases. | |
| search | No | Alias for query. | |
| description | No | Alias for query. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the safe read-only nature is disclosed. The description adds behavioral context beyond annotations: it returns top-N tools with names, descriptions, and full input schemas, and explicitly notes that results are ready to call directly with no second schema lookup. It doesn't mention limitations like pagination or rate limits, but the key behavioral traits are covered.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is structured logically: purpose, when to use, return value, and a directive to call first. The list of domains is somewhat long but directly informs the agent of relevant use cases. Every sentence contributes value, and there is minimal redundancy, though it could be slightly trimmed.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description is complete for the tool's role: it explains the return format (top-N tools with schemas and examples), the lack of need for a second lookup, and the recommended invocation order among many sibling tools. Even without an output schema, the description sufficiently covers what the agent should expect, given the tool's straightforward discovery purpose.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, with each parameter having a description. The description itself does not add significant parameter-level meaning beyond the schema; it does mention that query accepts aliases, but this is already encoded in the schema properties (q, task, search, description). The baseline of 3 is appropriate because the schema carries the parameter semantics.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
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 specifies the resource (tools) and verb (find/discover), and distinguishes itself from sibling tools by being a meta-tool that returns available tools rather than performing domain-specific tasks. The listed domains (SEC filings, FDA drugs, etc.) further clarify scope.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicit guidance is provided: 'Use when you need to browse, search, look up, or discover what tools exist' and 'Call this FIRST when you have many tools available and want to see the option set.' This tells the agent exactly when to invoke this tool instead of directly using a specific sibling, making it a strong usage guideline.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
entity_profileEntity ProfileARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
"Tell me about X" / "research Acme" / "brief me on Tesla" / "what does Apple do" / "company profile for Microsoft" / "give me the rundown on NVDA" / "everything you know about $TICKER" — full cross-source profile of a US public company in ONE parallel call. ALWAYS PREFER over chaining single-pack SEC/XBRL/news lookups when the user asks for a holistic view. Fans out across SEC EDGAR, XBRL, USPTO, news, GLEIF and returns: cik + company_name; recent_filings (up to 5 with pipeworx://edgar/company/{cik}/filings/{accession} URIs); fundamentals (LATEST 10-K Revenues + NetIncomeLoss + Cash, sorted period_end DESC); patents (USPTO PatentsView API sunset May 2025 — soft-fails until reactivated); recent news mentions via GDELT→GNews fallback; LEI via GLEIF. Pass ticker "AAPL" or zero-padded CIK "0000320193" — names not supported (use resolve_entity first if you only have a name).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| type | Yes | Entity type. Only "company" supported today; person/place coming soon. | |
| value | Yes | Ticker (e.g., "AAPL") or zero-padded CIK (e.g., "0000320193"). Names not supported — use resolve_entity first if you only have a name. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Beyond the read-only, idempotent, and open-world annotations, the description discloses significant behavioral details: parallel fan-out across multiple sources, soft-failure for the USPTO API, GDELT→GNews fallback, and the exact output fields (filings, fundamentals, patents, news, LEI). It also mentions the limitation on input types, enhancing transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is dense but every part serves a purpose: example queries, usage preference, data source list, output details, and input constraints. It is a single long paragraph, which slightly hurts scannability, but there is no fluff and all information is relevant.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity and lack of an output schema, the description is remarkably complete. It specifies the exact return fields, the parallel-call behavior, fallbacks, and input limitations. This is sufficient for an agent to select and invoke the tool correctly without needing additional documentation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema descriptions already fully cover both parameters, but the description adds practical input semantics: examples ('AAPL', '0000320193'), the zero-padding requirement for CIK, and the explicit note that names are unsupported. This goes beyond the schema's basic descriptions, helping the agent format parameters correctly.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: creating a full cross-source profile of a US public company in one parallel call. It uses specific verbs ('profile', 'brief me on') and enumerates the included data sources, distinguishing it from related tools like compare_entities and deep_research by emphasizing its holistic, single-call nature.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly tells when to use this tool: whenever the user asks for a holistic company view, and it explicitly prefers this over chaining single-pack lookups. It also states that names are not supported and instructs to use resolve_entity first, providing clear alternatives and exclusion criteria.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
estonia_average_wageEstonia Average WageARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Estonia's average and MEDIAN monthly gross wage in ONE call, from Statistics Estonia (Statistikaamet, table PA111), keyless, with the recent quarterly trend. PREFER for "what is the average wage in Estonia", "Estonian salary", "average monthly wage in Estonia according to official statistics", "are Estonian wages rising". GROSS (before income tax and the employee's share of contributions) and per EMPLOYEE POSITION, so somebody holding two jobs is counted twice. Use subjects/table_meta/query_table for breakdowns by economic activity or county.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| quarters | No | How many recent quarters to include (1-40, default 8). Headline fields describe the newest. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, openWorldHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is well covered. The description adds valuable context beyond annotations: keyless access (no auth needed), the gross-vs-net distinction, the 'per employee position' counting convention (double-counts dual-job holders), and that headline fields describe the newest period. This is genuinely useful behavioral information for correct interpretation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is efficient and front-loaded, leading with the core function and key data source in one sentence. The PREFER list is somewhat redundant (multiple trigger examples), but the caveats (gross vs net, per position counting) are valuable and earned their space. Slightly verbose due to the repeated trigger phrases, but not wasteful.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a single-parameter, non-nested tool with strong annotations (readOnly, idempotent, openWorld), the description fully covers the key caveats: source table, keyless access, gross/net distinction, statistical convention (per employee position), and time scope. No output schema exists, but the description's mention of 'recent quarterly trend' and 'headline fields describe the newest' provides sufficient return-shape context for an agent.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the quarters parameter is already documented in the schema ('How many recent quarters to include (1-40, default 8)'). The description adds minimal extra meaning for the parameter, though it clarifies that headline fields describe the newest period. Baseline 3 is appropriate since the schema carries the parameter documentation burden.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool retrieves Estonia's average and median monthly gross wage from Statistics Estonia (table PA111), specifing gross vs net, per employee position, and median vs mean distinction. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools by explicitly naming table_meta/query_table/subjects for breakdowns, showing a specific verb+resource+scope.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Provides explicit PREFER phrases ('what is the average wage in Estonia', 'Estonian salary', etc.) giving clear trigger intents. It also explicitly states when NOT to use it ('Use subjects/table_meta/query_table for breakdowns by economic activity or county'), naming the alternative tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
forgetForgetADestructiveIdempotentInspect
Delete a previously stored memory by key. Use when context is stale, the task is done, or you want to clear sensitive data the agent saved earlier. Pair with remember and recall.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| key | Yes | Memory key to delete |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare destructiveHint and idempotentHint, so the safety profile is known. The description does not add further behavioral details such as behavior when key is missing, irreversibility, or effects on other components; it only restates the delete action.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences with action first, then usage conditions. No redundancy, and every sentence adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a single-parameter destructive tool with annotations covering risk, the description is sufficient: it defines the operation, use cases, and related tools. It could be slightly more complete by explaining the result of deleting a non-existent key, but the idempotent hint partially covers this.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema covers the single 'key' parameter with description 'Memory key to delete' at 100% coverage. The description adds no additional meaning for the parameter beyond what schema already provides.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb ('Delete') and resource ('previously stored memory') with a clear key parameter, and distinguishes itself from siblings by explicitly pairing with 'remember and recall'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
It states explicit conditions when to use ('context is stale, task done, clear sensitive data') and identifies the complementary tools 'remember and recall' which serve the other storage operations.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
generate_llms_txtGenerate llms.txtARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Generate a production-ready llms.txt file for any URL so AI crawlers (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity) can index the site cleanly. Fetches the page, extracts title/description/key links, and emits the standard llms.txt markdown format. Output is a single text blob ready to drop at site-root/llms.txt. Useful for: getting a client's site indexed by AI, drafting llms.txt for your own project, or auditing how an AI crawler would see a competitor.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| url | Yes | Full URL of the site to summarize, e.g. "https://example.com" or a specific landing page. | |
| max_links | No | Maximum number of link entries to include (default 25, max 50). |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, and non-destructive behavior. The description adds valuable process details: fetches the page, extracts title/description/key links, and emits standard llms.txt markdown. It also clarifies the output is a single text blob, giving beyond-annotation context.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is three sentences, front-loaded with the core action, followed by output details and use cases. Every sentence contributes value; no fluff or repetition.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool with 2 parameters and no output schema, the description fully covers what the tool does, how it behaves, what it returns, and when to use it. There are no significant gaps for the agent to guess.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Input schema covers 100% of parameters with clear descriptions for 'url' and 'max_links'. The description does not add any parameter-specific details beyond what the schema already provides, so it earns the baseline 3 for high schema coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb ('Generate'), a clear resource ('llms.txt file'), and scope ('for any URL'). It also lists concrete outputs and distinct use cases (client indexing, own project, competitor audit), which differentiates it from sibling tools like scan_competitor_ai_presence.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly provides 'Useful for:' scenarios with three distinct contexts, covering when to invoke the tool. It lacks explicit exclusions or alternative tool references, so it doesn't reach a 5, but the context is clear and actionable.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_subscriptionsList SubscriptionsARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
List the caller's active subscriptions. Returns id, type, params, created_at, last_fired_at, fire_count for each. Use this to review what you're monitoring before adding more or to find an id to cancel.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| include_inactive | No | Include cancelled subscriptions in the response (default false). |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and idempotentHint, so the safety profile is clear. The description adds useful behavioral detail: it returns specific fields (id, type, params, created_at, last_fired_at, fire_count) and focuses on 'active' subscriptions, which is valuable beyond the annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences, front-loaded with the primary purpose and return fields, followed by a concise usage hint. Every sentence adds value and there is no redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple list tool with one optional parameter and no output schema, the description covers purpose, returns, and usage. The absence of pagination or error details is acceptable given the tool's simplicity and strong annotations.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema fully documents the single optional parameter include_inactive with a clear description. The tool description does not add anything about the parameter, but the schema already covers it entirely, meeting the baseline for high schema coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool lists the caller's active subscriptions, using a specific verb ('list') and resource ('subscriptions'). It also distinguishes from sibling tools like subscribe and unsubscribe by focusing on reading existing subscriptions.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly says to use this 'to review what you're monitoring before adding more' and 'to find an id to cancel', giving concrete use cases tied to sibling actions. It does not explicitly name alternatives or exclusions, but the intended context is clear.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
pipeworx_feedbackSend Pipeworx FeedbackAInspect
Tell the Pipeworx team something is broken, missing, or needs to exist. Use when a tool returns wrong/stale data (bug), when a tool you wish existed isn't in the catalog (feature/data_gap), or when something worked surprisingly well (praise). ONLY for tools served by this Pipeworx connection — if the tool came from a different MCP server in your client (another vendor's Gmail, Splunk, Slack, etc. connector), we cannot fix it and reporting it here only delays you; file it with that server instead. Not sure? Pipeworx tool names are the ones this connection lists. Describe the issue in terms of Pipeworx tools/packs — don't paste the end-user's prompt. The team reads digests daily and signal directly affects roadmap. Rate-limited to 5 per identifier per day. Free; doesn't count against your tool-call quota.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| type | Yes | bug = something broke or returned wrong data. feature = a new tool or capability you wish existed. data_gap = data Pipeworx does not currently expose. praise = positive note. other = anything else. | |
| context | No | Optional structured context: which tool, pack, or vertical this relates to. | |
| message | Yes | Your feedback in plain text. Be specific (which tool, what error, what data was missing). 1-2 sentences typical, 2000 chars max. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations are all false (readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint), providing no safety profile. The description compensates fully by disclosing rate limits ('Rate-limited to 5 per identifier per day'), free usage ('doesn't count against your tool-call quota'), and the human review process ('team reads digests daily and signal directly affects roadmap'). It also warns against making irrelevant reports, which sets expectations about what the tool does with the input.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Though longer than typical tool descriptions, every sentence earns its place: purpose, usage categories, boundary condition, formatting rule, impact, rate limit, and quota note. The structure is progressive: what → when → exclusions → how → consequences. No fluff or repetition.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity (3 params, no output schema) and the rich annotations/schema coverage, the description alone is sufficient for an agent to invoke correctly. It covers all decisions: which tool to use, what to include, what to avoid, and expected limitations. There's no missing information.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so parameters are already well-documented. The description adds extra semantic value by prescribing how to frame the message ('Describe the issue in terms of Pipeworx tools/packs — don't paste the end-user's prompt') and by aligning the type enum with real use cases. It doesn't explain the context object beyond the schema, but the schema already provides per-field descriptions. This is above baseline because it adds actionable guidance for message content.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description immediately states the tool's purpose with a specific verb+resource: 'Tell the Pipeworx team something is broken, missing, or needs to exist.' It also distinguishes from sibling research tools by framing this as feedback submission, not data retrieval. The bullet-like enumeration of use cases (bug, feature/data_gap, praise) makes 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.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Provides explicit when-to-use guidance for each category: 'Use when a tool returns wrong/stale data (bug), when a tool you wish existed isn't in the catalog (feature/data_gap), or when something worked surprisingly well (praise).' It also gives a clear exclusion rule for tools from other MCP servers and a self-check: 'Not sure? Pipeworx tool names are the ones this connection lists.' This is model-explicit usage guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
pipeworx_trendingPipeworx TrendingARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
What other AI agents are calling on Pipeworx right now. Returns the top tools, top packs, and total call volume over a recent window (24h, 7d, or 30d). Useful for: (1) discovering what data sources are hot for current events, (2) confirming a popular tool is the canonical choice before asking your own question, (3) seeing whether your use case aligns with what most agents need. Self-aggregating signal — derived from CF analytics-engine, no PII, just (pack, tool, count). Cached 5min-1h depending on window.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| window | No | 24h (default) | 7d | 30d. Shorter windows surface what's hot right now; longer windows show steady-state demand. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description goes well beyond the annotations (readOnly, openWorld, idempotent, non-destructive) by disclosing that results are cached (5min-1h), that no PII is included, and that data is self-aggregating from CF analytics-engine. This provides a clear picture of data freshness and privacy, adding significant context beyond the structured fields.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is well-organized: it states the tool's output, then lists three brief use cases, then adds transparency details. Each sentence contributes value, though the 'Useful for' list could be slightly more compact without losing meaning.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
This is a simple, read-only analytics tool with a single optional parameter and no output schema. The description fully covers what it returns (top tools, top packs, total call volume), data source/caching behavior, and intended use cases, making it self-sufficient for an agent to decide when to call it.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema already provides 100% coverage of the single `window` parameter, including its enum values and the trade-off between short and long windows. The description only casually mentions the window options and does not add new parameter-level detail, so baseline 3 applies.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states what the tool does: it returns top tools, top packs, and total call volume over recent windows. The verb 'Returns' and specific resource ('top tools, top packs, total call volume') distinguish it from siblings like discover_tools or recent_alerts. The title and description align perfectly.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides three concrete 'Useful for' scenarios that tell the agent when to use this tool (discovering hot data sources, confirming canonical choice, alignment check). However, it does not explicitly name sibling alternatives or state when not to use it, so it falls just short of the highest bar.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
polymarket_arbitragePolymarket ArbitrageARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Find arbitrage opportunities on Polymarket via monotonicity violations + partition-sum checks. Call with NO args for a trending_scan of the top ~200 markets by weekly volume; pass event for the strongest per-event partition_check, or topic for a themed cross-event scan. event (recommended for a specific market): pass a Polymarket event slug like "fed-decision-may-2026" or "when-will-bitcoin-hit-150k"; walks child markets, checks date-axis / threshold-axis ordering AND computes the partition_check (sum of YES prices across mutually-exclusive legs — should ≈1; deviations >3pp emit a BUY/SELL EVERY LEG signal). topic (for cross-event scanning): pass a seed question like "Strait of Hormuz traffic returns to normal" or "Fed rate decision"; searches related events across the platform, flattens markets, runs the comparator on the union. Cross-event mode catches "...by May 31" vs "...by Jun 30" patterns that single-event misses. SEMANTIC ANCHOR: cross-event pairs require ≥0.30 Jaccard similarity on question tokens (prevents Powell-Fed-Pause being paired with Powell-DOJ-probe); skipped_low_similarity surfaces the rejected pair count. PARTITION FILTER: drops will-person-X / will-manager-Y / will-someone-else- placeholder slugs; partitions with >20% placeholder fraction return null arb signal. Response: opportunities[] (gap_pp, suggested_trade, reasoning, monotonicity violation context), and in event mode partition_check{sum_yes_prices, gap_from_1, placeholders_filtered, suggested_trade}. FILL CHECK: when the partition signal fires, arbitrage.fill_check prices it against live CLOB depth (theoretical_edge_pp_at_book vs realizable_edge_pp at 1000 shares/leg, thin_legs[]) — realizable_edge_pp ≤ 0 means the overround exists only at last-trade, not in the book; do not trade it. For custom sizing use polymarket_fill_risk.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| event | No | Single-event mode (use this if you know the specific Polymarket event): event slug like "fed-decision-may-2026" or "when-will-bitcoin-hit-150k". Full Polymarket URLs also accepted. | |
| topic | No | Cross-event mode (use this if you want to scan related events across the platform): a topic or seed question like "Fed rate decision" or "Strait of Hormuz traffic returns to normal". Tool searches Polymarket for related events and checks monotonicity across them. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description goes far beyond the read-only annotation by detailing internal behaviors: it explains the partition_check sum logic, the >=0.30 Jaccard similarity anchor, placeholder filtering (>20% returns null signal), and the fill check against live CLOB depth with advice not to trade when realizable_edge_pp <= 0. This provides rich context that the annotations alone do not.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is lengthy but highly structured, with clear bolded labels (SEMANTIC ANCHOR, PARTITION FILTER, FILL CHECK) and a front-loaded summary. Every section contributes essential operational detail, and the length is justified by the tool's complexity. There is no filler or repetition.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity and lack of an output schema, the description is exceptionally complete. It describes the response shape (opportunities[], partition_check, fill check fields), handles edge cases (null signal, skipped_low_similarity, thin_legs), and provides actionable guidance on interpreting results. No critical gap remains for an agent to invoke this tool correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Although the input schema already provides 100% description coverage for both parameters, the tool description adds significant semantic value by giving concrete example slugs ('fed-decision-may-2026'), explaining the behavior triggered by each parameter, and clarifying that full URLs are also accepted. This exceeds the baseline for high schema coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Find arbitrage opportunities on Polymarket via monotonicity violations + partition-sum checks.' It clearly distinguishes this tool from siblings like polymarket_edges (likely focused on edges) and polymarket_fill_risk (pricing risk), making its purpose unmistakable.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides explicit usage guidance: call with NO args for trending_scan, use 'event' for a specific market, and use 'topic' for cross-event scanning. It explains when each mode is appropriate and even references an alternative tool for custom sizing ('For custom sizing use polymarket_fill_risk'). This fully satisfies when-to-use/alternative guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
polymarket_edgesPolymarket EdgesARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Scan top Polymarket markets and return opportunities where Pipeworx data disagrees with market price. Built for "what should I bet on today" — agents discover opportunities without paging hundreds of markets. FIVE MODEL FAMILIES grouped into three response segments under by_segment: (1) MODEL_DRIVEN — crypto_price (lognormal barrier from 90d FRED log-returns) and news_momentum (GDELT 7d/21d article-volume ratio, soft signal w/ halved Kelly). (2) STRUCTURAL_ARBITRAGE — partition_overround on mutually-exclusive events; per-leg favorite-longshot bias correction with per-sport α (tennis 1.02, soccer 1.10, MMA 1.15, default 1.0); placeholder-slug filter drops will-person-X / will-team-Y / will-manager-Z / will-someone-else- backstops; partitions with >20% placeholder fraction skipped entirely. (3) CONCENTRATED_LONGSHOT — basket trade when one leg ≥75% AND ≥2 longshots ≤8% AND portfolio return ≥25:1; rare-by-design (gates relaxed Run 8 from prior 85%/5%/50:1). EVERY OPPORTUNITY carries edge_pp_net (after slippage), kelly_fraction + kelly_fraction_half (capped at 0.25), market.liquidity, market.spread_pp, market.volume, plus a 24h-move warning ("Market moved X.Xpp in 24h") when the recent move alone exceeds the edge — your edge may already be in the price. TRADEABLE-EDGE KNOBS: min_liquidity / max_spread_pp drop opportunities where edge isn't realizable; min_partition_leg_kelly filters partitions by best per-leg Kelly. RESPONSE TOP-LEVEL: by_segment{model_driven,structural_arbitrage,concentrated_longshot}, fed_candidates/fed_note (Fed bets surface here, excluded from ranking — 1m-T vs EFFR signal is unreliable at meeting-month horizons without paid OIS/SOFR-futures data), and _diagnostics{concentrated_longshot:{...funnel counters},category_counts,filter_skips} so callers can see WHY a segment is empty (top-N stale, all candidates failed gates, knob dropped them). Cached 1h at the KV level keyed on all knobs.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Top N edges to return after ranking. Default 10, max 25. | |
| window | No | Polymarket volume window to filter markets. Default 1wk. | |
| min_kelly | No | Minimum half-Kelly fraction (as decimal, e.g. 0.005 = 0.5% of bankroll) to include single-leg opportunities. Default 0 (no filter). Skips opportunities that are too small to bet sensibly even if the edge is large. | |
| min_edge_pp | No | Minimum |edge| in percentage points to include (default 0.5). Edge is evaluated NET of slippage. | |
| slippage_pp | No | Assumed execution slippage in percentage points per leg (default 0.3). Subtracted from raw |edge| before ranking and Kelly sizing. Polymarket has zero trading fees as of 2024 but bid/ask + thin depth typically eats 20-50bp per trade. Bump for very thin partitions; drop to 0 if you have a smarter fill model. | |
| max_spread_pp | No | Tradeable-edge filter. Maximum bid/ask spread in percentage points on the representative market. Default null (no filter). Set to 2 to require tight books — anything wider eats most plausible edges. | |
| min_liquidity | No | Tradeable-edge filter. Minimum $ liquidity on the representative market (or for partition_overround, on at least one top_leg). Default 0 (no filter). Set to 5000 to drop thin-book opportunities where executing the edge would walk the book past breakeven. | |
| category_filter | No | Comma-separated list to restrict the output: "model_driven" (crypto_price + news_momentum), "structural_arbitrage" (partition_overround), "concentrated_longshot". Combine like "model_driven,structural_arbitrage". Default: all. | |
| min_partition_leg_kelly | No | Minimum BEST per-leg half-Kelly fraction across a partition_overround opportunity's top_legs (or longshot_basket legs). Default 0 (no filter). Partition arbs always return kelly_fraction_half=0 at the parent level by design (basket trades don't compose to single-leg Kelly), so min_kelly never filters them — this knob applies to the per-leg Kelly inside top_legs instead. Use to suppress thin partitions whose individual leg edges aren't worth the per-leg slippage cost. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description is exceptionally transparent about behavior beyond the readOnly/openWorld/idempotent annotations: it details the three response segments, the 24h-move warning, Kelly caps, placeholder-slug filters, the Fed signal caveat, caching at the KV level, and diagnostic funnel counters. There is 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a dense, single-paragraph wall of text with ALL-CAPS pseudo-headers and many parentheticals. Every sentence carries useful information, but the lack of structural formatting (sections, bullet points, line breaks) makes it harder to parse. It is information-complete but not concise.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With no output schema, the description carries the full burden of explaining return values. It thoroughly covers the response shape: by_segment, fed_candidates/fed_note, and _diagnostics, including what each segment contains and why segments can be empty. It also explains filtering behavior, caveats, and caching. This is a model of completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% and every parameter already has a detailed description, which would normally earn a baseline 3. The description adds extra value by explaining how knobs interact (e.g., min_partition_leg_kelly nuance about parent-level kelly_fraction_half=0, tradeable-edge filters dropping unrealizable edges, slippage subtracted before Kelly). This pushes it above baseline.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description opens with a specific verb+resource+scope: 'Scan top Polymarket markets and return opportunities where Pipeworx data disagrees with market price.' It clearly differentiates from siblings like polymarket_arbitrage and polymarket_edge_tracker by emphasizing Pipeworx disagreement, the 'what should I bet on today' use case, and the three response segments.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
It explicitly states the intended use: 'Built for "what should I bet on today" — agents discover opportunities without paging hundreds of markets.' It also explains when to adjust knobs like min_liquidity and max_spread_pp. However, it does not explicitly say when NOT to use this tool or name alternative tools for different purposes, so it falls short of a 5.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
polymarket_edge_trackerPolymarket Edge TrackerARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Edge persistence and decay telemetry built from daily polymarket_edges snapshots. Answers "how long has this edge existed and is it shrinking?" — a fresh wide edge and a 3-week-old wide edge are different trades (the latter is wide for a reason nobody is willing to take). Args: days (lookback, default 14, max 30), window (snapshot family, default "1wk"). RESPONSE: tracked[] = every opportunity in the LATEST snapshot with its full edge_pp_net time-series across prior snapshots, first_seen, trend (new | widening | stable | decaying) and decay_pp_per_day (both computed on |edge_pp_net| — the value itself is signed by trade direction, negative = SELL YES); expired[] = opportunities that appeared in earlier snapshots but are GONE from the latest (closed, resolved, or arbed away) with their lifespan_days — the median lifespan is your competition clock; snapshot_dates[] = which days actually have data (snapshots are written when polymarket_edges runs on a cache-miss, so gaps mean nobody scanned that day). LIMITS: history depth is bounded by the 60-day snapshot TTL and starts from when snapshotting was enabled; decay numbers come from daily closes of edge_pp_net (net of default slippage), not intraday.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| days | No | Lookback in days (default 14, clamp 2-30). | |
| window | No | Which polymarket_edges window family to read snapshots for: 24hr | 1wk | 1mo (default 1wk). |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint=false, so those basics are covered. The description goes far beyond by disclosing snapshot-gap behavior ('snapshots are written when polymarket_edges runs on a cache-miss'), the 60-day TTL limit, that decay is computed from daily closes not intraday, and that expired opportunities disappear because they are 'closed, resolved, or arbed away'. This rich behavioral context is genuinely useful for an agent.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is detailed but logically structured with sections for Purpose, Args, RESPONSE, and LIMITS. Each sentence carries information, and the RESPONSE section's field-level detail is essential given the lack of an output schema. While longer than average, the complexity of the tool's output justifies the length. A slight trim of the explanatory parenthetical about trading would make it tighter, but it is not wasteful.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With no output schema, the description fully documents the return structure: tracked[] with its fields (edge_pp_net time-series, first_seen, trend, decay_pp_per_day), expired[] with lifespan_days, and snapshot_dates[]. It also explains data limitations (TTL, snapshot gaps) and computation methodology. Given the tool's complexity and the available structured annotations, this description is complete enough for an agent to invoke and interpret responses confidently.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Input schema coverage is 100%, with defaults and allowed values for both parameters (days: 'default 14, clamp 2-30'; window: '24hr | 1wk | 1mo'). The description restates these but adds the concept of 'snapshot family' for window, which adds minimal semantic insight beyond the schema. Since the schema already provides complete parameter documentation, the baseline of 3 is appropriate; no meaningful extra meaning is provided.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description opens with 'Edge persistence and decay telemetry built from daily polymarket_edges snapshots' and explicitly frames the tool's purpose via the question 'how long has this edge existed and is it shrinking?' It clearly differentiates from the sibling tool polymarket_edges by focusing on historical persistence and trends rather than current edge data. The verb 'Answers' combined with the resource 'edge persistence and decay telemetry' is specific and unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides clear context by answering 'how long has this edge existed and is it shrinking?' and offers an interpretive insight ('a fresh wide edge and a 3-week-old wide edge are different trades'). This implies when to use the tool, but it does not explicitly name alternatives or state 'use this instead of X'. The mention of being 'built from daily polymarket_edges snapshots' hints at the relationship to sibling tools, but an explicit exclusion would elevate it to a 5.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
polymarket_fill_riskPolymarket Fill RiskARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Realizable-vs-theoretical edge check against live CLOB order-book depth. REQUIRES one of market (single-market mode) or event (basket/partition mode). SINGLE-MARKET: pass a market slug/URL + side (buy_yes|sell_yes|buy_no|sell_no, default buy_yes) + size_usd (default 1000 — max spend on buys, target proceeds on sells); walks the ladder and returns top_of_book, vwap_fill_price, slippage_pp, shares_filled, max_fillable_usd, and a verdict (clean|degraded|cannot_fill). BASKET: pass an event slug/URL + side (sell_yes = capture overround by selling every leg, buy_yes = capture underround; default auto from partition sum) + size_usd interpreted as settlement notional S (shares per leg; each share pays $1); returns theoretical_sum vs realizable_sum (top-of-book vs VWAP across all legs), capture_ratio, profit_usd at executed size, per-leg fill detail, thin_legs[], max_clean_notional_usd, and forced_directional_risk naming the legs most likely to strand you unhedged. USE THIS before acting on any polymarket_arbitrage SELL/BUY-EVERY-LEG signal or any polymarket_edges trade above ~$500 — theoretical overround on thin books is not capturable, and partial basket fills convert an arb into an unhedged directional position (the dominant loss mode in real arb-bot P&L).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| side | No | Single-market: buy_yes | sell_yes | buy_no | sell_no (default buy_yes). Basket: sell_yes | buy_yes (default auto — sell if partition sum > 1, buy if < 1). | |
| event | No | Basket mode: event slug or full polymarket.com URL — checks every leg of the partition. | |
| market | No | Single-market mode: market slug or full polymarket.com URL. | |
| size_usd | No | Single-market: USD to spend (buys) or target proceeds (sells). Basket: settlement notional — shares per leg, each paying $1 at resolution. Default 1000, clamp 10–1,000,000. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive. The description adds substantial behavioral context beyond those: it walks the order-book ladder, returns fields like vwap_fill_price and slippage_pp, interprets size_usd differently across modes, and warns about partial basket fills converting an arb into unhedged directional risk. 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is long, but every sentence carries operational weight. It is front-loaded with the core purpose, then organized by mode with clear labels (SINGLE-MARKET, BASKET). It avoids filler and includes concrete, enumerable outputs and risk guidance.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity and lack of an output schema, the description is remarkably complete. It enumerates all return fields for each mode, including per-leg fill detail, thin_legs[], capture_ratio, and max_clean_notional_usd, and explains the failure mode of partial basket fills. It leaves no ambiguity about how results are interpreted.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Although schema coverage is 100%, the description adds crucial meaning beyond parameter names: it defines single-market vs basket interpretation of size_usd, defaults for side and size, the clamp range, and the requirement that one of market/event be provided. This goes far beyond the schema's basic property descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Realizable-vs-theoretical edge check against live CLOB order-book depth.' It clearly distinguishes itself from sibling tools like polymarket_arbitrage and polymarket_edges, and further clarifies the two modes (single-market vs basket).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly states when to use: 'USE THIS before acting on any polymarket_arbitrage SELL/BUY-EVERY-LEG signal or any polymarket_edges trade above ~$500.' It also explains the two modes and when each is appropriate, and points to alternatives by referencing sibling tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
polymarket_kalshi_spreadPolymarket–Kalshi SpreadARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Cross-venue spread between Kalshi and Polymarket for the same resolving question. The two venues sometimes price the same outcome 2-25pp apart because their participant pools differ — when the bet shapes are equivalent that delta is a real signal, when they aren't the tool says so. TWO MODES: (1) topic — 10 pre-mapped macro shortcuts ("fed", "btc", "cpi", "gdp", "sp500", "recession", "next_pope", "next_uk_pm", "next_israel_pm", "2028_president") auto-fetch the matching event on each venue. (2) explicit kalshi_event_ticker + polymarket_event_slug for custom pairings. RESPONSE: each venue's leg-by-leg prices (raw probability 0-1) plus matched spread[].top_spreads_pp (Kalshi − Polymarket) where the same outcome shows up on both sides. SAFETY FIELDS: compatibility_warning fires in two cases — (a) matched_pairs:0 with skipped_cross_type>0 means the venues frame the topic with non-equivalent bet shapes (e.g. Kalshi range_bucket point-in-time vs Polymarket cumulative_threshold touch-anywhere — no arb exists), (b) matched_pairs:0 with skipped_cross_type:0 and both venues >5 legs means the token-overlap matcher found nothing in common — events likely semantically unrelated despite the topic keyword. temporal_alignment{polymarket_month,kalshi_month,aligned} tells you whether the two events resolve in the same calendar period; aligned:false means spreads are mathematically meaningless across the temporal gap. skipped_cross_type / skipped_cross_subtype counters expose how many leg-pair comparisons were dropped (cross-type = metric_type mismatch like MoM vs YoY; cross-subtype = inequality mismatch like cum_ge vs cum_le). Real cross-venue spreads are rarer than the macro-shortcut list suggests — most pre-mapped topics return compatibility_warning today; pre-mapped ≠ tradeable.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| topic | No | Pre-mapped: fed | btc | cpi | gdp | sp500 | recession | next_pope | next_uk_pm | next_israel_pm | 2028_president | |
| kalshi_event_ticker | No | Explicit Kalshi event ticker, e.g. "KXFED-26OCT". Overrides the topic-mapped Kalshi side. | |
| polymarket_event_slug | No | Explicit Polymarket event slug, e.g. "fed-decision-in-june-825". Overrides the topic-mapped Polymarket side. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Beyond the read-only annotations, the description discloses extensive behavioral details: compatibility_warning triggers, temporal_alignment semantics, and skipped_cross_type/subtype counters. It explicitly explains when spreads are meaningless and what the tool reports in edge cases. This is far more than annotations provide.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is structured with clear section labels (TWO MODES, RESPONSE, SAFETY FIELDS) and front-loads the core purpose. However, it is verbose, with several parenthetical asides and repeated cautions that could be condensed. Every sentence is informative but not maximally concise.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity and lack of an output schema, the description is remarkably complete. It covers response fields (leg prices, top_spreads_pp), safety fields (compatibility_warning, temporal_alignment), and explains edge cases such as non-equivalent bet shapes and unrelated events. No critical aspect seems missing.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, with all three parameters already described. The description adds the two-mode framing and overrides explanation, but this largely reiterates schema information. No genuinely new parameter semantics are introduced beyond what the schema's property descriptions already state.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description opens with a clear, specific statement: 'Cross-venue spread between Kalshi and Polymarket for the same resolving question.' This identifies the tool's exact function and distinguishes it from likely siblings focused on single-venue analysis. The two modes (topic shortcuts and explicit ticker/slug) further clarify scope.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description gives clear usage context: details two invocation modes, explains when explicit pairings are needed, and warns that most pre-mapped topics currently return compatibility_warning and are not tradeable. However, it does not explicitly name alternative tools (e.g., polymarket_arbitrage) for comparison, so it stops short of a 5.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
query_tableQuery TableARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Pull ESTONIA official statistics figures from a Statistics Estonia (Statistikaamet) table — wages, population, GDP, prices, unemployment. body is a PxWeb query object; get valid dimension values from table_meta first. Filter selections to stay under the ~100k-cell limit.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| body | Yes | {query: [{code, selection: {filter, values}}], response: {format: "json-stat2"}} | |
| path | Yes | Table path ending in .px, e.g. ".../RV021.PX" |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, and non-destructive hints. The description adds meaningful constraints: the body must be a PxWeb query object, values must come from table_meta, and there is a ~100k-cell limit. These are behavioral details beyond what annotations provide, with no contradiction.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences, with the main purpose front-loaded. Every sentence adds unique value: the first covers what the tool does, the second covers how to use it correctly (body semantics and limit). No filler or redundant content.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool with nested body object and no output schema, the description covers the core aspects: purpose, input format, prerequisite, and a critical constraint. It doesn't explicitly describe return values, but the example in the schema includes response formatting, and the tool's purpose implies a return of statistical figures. The overall context is sufficiently complete for an agent to use it correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% for both parameters, but the description adds value by explaining that body is a PxWeb query object and directing users to table_meta for valid dimension values. This clarifies how to construct the body parameter beyond the schema's minimal description.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states a specific action ('Pull ESTONIA official statistics figures') with a clear resource (Statistics Estonia table) and enumerates example topics (wages, population, GDP, prices, unemployment). It distinguishes itself from siblings by focusing on querying data from a table, as opposed to table discovery or metadata.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description gives an explicit workflow prerequisite: 'get valid dimension values from table_meta first', which tells the agent to use the sibling tool first. It also warns about the ~100k-cell limit, guiding selection filtering. It doesn't explicitly state when not to use this tool vs alternatives, but the workflow guidance is strong.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Use to look up context the agent stored earlier — the user's target ticker, an address, prior research notes — without re-deriving it from scratch. Scoped to your identifier (anonymous IP, BYO key hash, or account ID). Pair with remember to save, forget to delete.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true, reducing the burden. The description adds valuable context beyond those hints: 'Scoped to your identifier (anonymous IP, BYO key hash, or account ID)' and the behavior of listing all keys when key is omitted. This provides a richer behavioral picture without contradicting the annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is three sentences, each earning its place: the first states the core action and listing behavior, the second gives concrete use cases, and the third explains scope and pairing. It is front-loaded with the essential verb and resource, with no wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity (1 optional parameter, no output schema, strong annotations), the description covers all necessary aspects: purpose, usage context, scope/isolation, and relationship to sibling tools. Nothing critical is missing for an agent to invoke it correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%: the 'key' property already has the description 'Memory key to retrieve (omit to list all keys).' The description reinforces this with examples of realistic key values, but since the schema fully defines the parameter, the added semantic contribution is modest.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description opens with the specific verb+resource: 'Retrieve a value previously saved via remember, or list all saved keys (omit the key argument).' It distinguishes itself from siblings by naming 'remember' and 'forget' and giving concrete examples ('user's target ticker, an address, prior research notes'), which makes the tool's purpose unmistakable.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description clearly indicates when to use this tool: 'Use to look up context the agent stored earlier... without re-deriving it from scratch.' It also references sibling tools ('Pair with remember to save, forget to delete'), implying the workflow. However, it does not explicitly state when *not* to use it (e.g., alternatives like search), so it stops short of a full when/when-not contrast.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
recent_alertsRecent AlertsARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Pull fired events from your subscription feed. Returns the most recent alerts the evaluator has written to your persisted feed — each carries source, citation_uri (pipeworx:// when available), and the raw event payload. Filter by type (e.g. "sec_8k") and/or since (ISO timestamp). Set mark_read:true to flag returned events read so the next call only shows newer ones. Polls work fine; the same feed is also at GET registry.pipeworx.io/alerts.json for scripts and dashboards.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| type | No | Optional — filter to one subscription type. | |
| limit | No | Max events to return (1-200, default 50). | |
| since | No | Optional ISO timestamp — return events fired_at >= this time. | |
| mark_read | No | Flag the returned events read in the same call (default false). | |
| unread_only | No | Return only events where read_at is null (default false). |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description discloses key behavioral traits beyond the annotations, such as the persisted feed behavior and the mark_read side effect ('Set mark_read:true to flag returned events read so the next call only shows newer ones'). This adds valuable context about state changes that the annotations alone do not convey. It does not contradict the readOnlyHint, as the default behavior remains read-only and the state change is opt-in.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise at five sentences, each serving a distinct purpose: stating the core function, describing the return value, explaining filtering, clarifying mark_read behavior, and noting polling/HTTP alternatives. It is front-loaded with the primary action and contains no fluff or repetition.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having no output schema, the description explains the return fields (source, citation_uri, raw payload) and covers the main usage scenarios. It addresses state-changing behavior, filtering options, and even provides an external mirror URL. This is remarkably complete given the tool's complexity and the rich schema.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema covers all 5 parameters with descriptions (100% coverage), so the baseline is 3. The description adds extra meaning by providing a concrete type example ('sec_8k'), clarifying the consequence of mark_read, and explaining what the returned payload contains. This enriches the parameter understanding beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's function: 'Pull fired events from your subscription feed.' It specifies the resource (subscription feed), the action (pull/return alerts), and the scope (most recent alerts). It distinguishes from sibling tools like list_subscriptions or subscribe by focusing on reading fired events, not managing subscriptions.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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, noting that 'Polls work fine' and offering an alternative HTTP endpoint for scripts/dashboards. However, it does not explicitly mention when not to use it or name alternative MCP tools, so it stops short of fully explicit exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
recent_changesRecent ChangesARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
"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.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| type | Yes | Entity type. Only "company" supported today. | |
| since | Yes | Window start — ISO date ("2026-04-01") or relative ("7d", "30d", "3m", "1y"). Use "30d" or "1m" for typical monitoring. | |
| value | Yes | Ticker (e.g., "AAPL") or zero-padded CIK (e.g., "0000320193"). |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already mark readOnly/openWorld/idempotent/non-destructive. The description adds multi-source fan-out, GDELT→GNews fallback on rate limit/5xx, and USPTO patent soft-fail due to API sunset. These are beyond annotation fields.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Description is dense but well-structured; every sentence adds a function detail. Slightly longer than necessary, but not redundant.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Even without output schema, it describes return shape (changes[] by source, total_changes, citation URIs), source behavior, and fallbacks. Covers all operational aspects needed for invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema covers 100% of params with descriptions; description adds no new parameter details beyond restating the `since` format already present in schema. Baseline 3 for high coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states it provides a 'change feed for a company in the last N days/weeks/months' and lists concrete natural-language triggers. It explicitly contrasts with entity_profile, distinguishing it from a key sibling.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Description opens with example queries, specifies when to use (recent changes) and when not (entity_profile for static profile). It also notes 'in ONE parallel call' as an efficiency rationale. This is explicit guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
rememberRememberAIdempotentInspect
Save data the agent will need to reuse later — across this conversation or across sessions. Use when you discover something worth carrying forward (a resolved ticker, a target address, a user preference, a research subject) so you don't have to look it up again. Stored as a key-value pair scoped by your identifier. Authenticated users get persistent memory; anonymous sessions retain memory for 24 hours. Pair with recall to retrieve later, forget to delete.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| key | Yes | Memory key (e.g., "subject_property", "target_ticker", "user_preference") | |
| value | Yes | Value to store (any text — findings, addresses, preferences, notes) |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations only indicate idempotent and non-destructive. The description adds that memory is scoped by identifier, persistent for authenticated users, and retained 24 hours for anonymous sessions — beyond what annotations offer.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Four sentences, each with a distinct purpose: definition, use case, storage model, and sibling relationships. No filler.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a two-parameter tool with annotations, the description fully covers when to use, persistence behavior, scoping, and interactions with related tools. No gaps evident.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema already covers both parameters with descriptions and examples (100% coverage). The description reinforces key-value pairing but adds little new parameter-specific information.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb ('Save') and defines the resource ('data the agent will need to reuse later'), clearly distinguishing this from sibling tools like recall and forget by naming them. It also gives concrete examples of what to store.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly states 'Use when you discover something worth carrying forward' and provides concrete examples. It also names pairings with recall and forget, giving clear usage context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
resolve_entityResolve EntityARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
"What's the ticker for…" / "find the CIK for…" / "what's the RxCUI for…" / "look up the ID for…" / "what is X's official identifier" — resolve a user-spoken NAME to the canonical/official identifier other tools require as input. Use FIRST whenever you have a name but need an ID. SUPPORTED TYPES: "company" (returns ticker + 10-digit CIK + company_name from SEC EDGAR + pipeworx://edgar/company/{cik} citation URI; accepts ticker, CIK, or company name as input — auto-disambiguated), "drug" (returns RxCUI + ingredient + brand from RxNorm + pipeworx://rxnorm/concept/{rxcui} citation; accepts brand or generic name). Each call cascades through several lookup endpoints internally — using resolve_entity replaces 2-3 manual lookups.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| type | Yes | Entity type: "company" or "drug". | |
| value | Yes | For company: ticker (AAPL), CIK (0000320193), or name. For drug: brand or generic name (e.g., "ozempic", "metformin"). |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true, and openWorldHint=true. The description adds meaningful context by specifying the returned fields (ticker, CIK, RxCUI, brand, etc.), citation URIs, and that each call cascades through several internal lookup endpoints, replacing 2-3 manual lookups. This goes beyond the annotations without contradicting them.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single paragraph but front-loads example queries and a clear directive. Every sentence provides useful information: examples, supported types, return details, and internal behavior. It is somewhat dense, but not wasteful; a bullet list might improve scannability, but the structure is still effective for an AI agent.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having no output schema, the description fully explains return values for both entity types, including citation URIs and input formats. It also covers the 'why' (replaces multiple manual lookups) and the 'when' (use first when name-to-ID is needed). This is complete for an agent to select and invoke the tool correctly, given its moderate complexity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds value by explaining the 'type' parameter's enumerations ('company' and 'drug') and what each returns (e.g., company returns ticker + CIK + company_name; drug returns RxCUI + ingredient + brand). It also clarifies the 'value' parameter's accepted formats for each type (ticker, CIK, name; brand/generic name), enriching what the schema only lists.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses the specific verb 'resolve' and states the resource: 'a user-spoken NAME to the canonical/official identifier other tools require as input.' It provides direct example queries ('What's the ticker for…' / 'find the CIK for…') and clearly differentiates from siblings by emphasizing it's for name-to-ID conversion, which no other sibling tool covers.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly says 'Use FIRST whenever you have a name but need an ID,' which is a clear when-to-use rule. It also gives examples of the types of questions it answers. However, it does not mention when not to use it or explicitly contrast with alternatives like entity_profile or compare_entities, so it stops short of full exclusion guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
scan_competitor_ai_presenceScan Competitor AI PresenceARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Compare AI visibility across multiple entities side-by-side. Probes each entity (your brand + N competitors) with ai_visibility_check, ranks by score, surfaces which is most/least recognized. Useful for competitive AI-marketing audits: "does Claude know about us as well as our competitors?". Returns ranked list with score, confidence, signal density per entity.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| models | No | Which models to probe. Supported: "workers-ai" (free default), "anthropic" (requires _apiKey). Omit for just workers-ai. | |
| _apiKey | No | Optional Anthropic API key — only if "anthropic" is in models. Passed to api.anthropic.com per probe. | |
| context | No | Optional shared context applied to every probe (e.g. "B2B SaaS", "Boston restaurant"). Disambiguates common names. | |
| entities | Yes | Array of 2-8 entities to compare (brand/business/product names). First entry treated as the "subject" for narrative; rest are competitors. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint. The description adds valuable behavioral context beyond these: it explains the probing mechanism (calls ai_visibility_check per entity), the ranking behavior, and the return format (score, confidence, signal density). This enriches understanding without contradicting the annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is three sentences long and every sentence earns its place: the first states the core purpose, the second explains the method and outputs, and the third gives a concrete use case. It is front-loaded and contains zero redundant or filler content.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having no output schema, the description clearly specifies what the tool returns (a ranked list with score, confidence, signal density). It also covers the operational flow (probing with ai_visibility_check), the array sizing (2-8 entities), and the first-entity-as-subject convention. This is a complete picture for an agent to select and invoke the tool correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% and the schema descriptions are already detailed. The tool description adds minimal additional parameter meaning—it reinforces that entities are brand/business names and that the first is the subject, but this is already present in the schema's entity description. The description does not introduce new format or syntax constraints.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's function: 'Compare AI visibility across multiple entities side-by-side.' It specifies the verb (compare), resource (AI visibility), and scope (multiple entities), and distinguishes itself from the sibling tool ai_visibility_check by explicitly addressing multi-entity comparison and ranking.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides a concrete use case ('competitive AI-marketing audits') and a realistic example question. It also mentions that it probes each entity with ai_visibility_check, implying that single-entity checks should use that tool directly. However, it does not explicitly state when NOT to use this tool, leaving some room for inference rather than direct guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
scan_dependencyScan DependencyARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Composite "should I add this npm package to my project" check in ONE call — fans out across deps.dev (license + advisories + version history) and bundlephobia (gzipped/minified bundle size, dependency count, ESM/tree-shake support). Use whenever an agent asks "is X safe / popular / small" or "what does adding lodash cost me". Returns a summary block (is_latest, license, published_at, advisory_count, bundle_kb_min, bundle_kb_gz, dependency_count, has_esm, tree_shakeable), per-advisory detail, links, and a list of recent alternative versions. NPM ecosystem only in v1; PyPI / Maven / Cargo / Go fall under deps.dev:version directly. Partial failures degrade gracefully — bundlephobia's first measurement on a new version can take 5-30s; sources_failed will list it if it times out, the rest still returns.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| package | Yes | npm package name. Scoped packages (e.g. "@types/node") are accepted. | |
| version | No | Specific version to check (e.g., "18.3.1"). Defaults to the latest published version when omitted. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description adds significant behavioral details beyond the annotations: it reveals the tool makes a composite call across external services, returns a specific summary block with fields, includes failure handling ('sources_failed' on timeout), and notes the 5-30s latency for bundlephobia's first measurement. It also states the NPM-only limitation in v1.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is fairly long but each sentence earns its place: first defines the composite action, second gives usage triggers, third lists the output, fourth states the ecosystem limitation, and fifth explains partial failures. It is front-loaded with the core purpose and structured logically, though could be slightly trimmed.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given there is no output schema, the description fully compensates by listing the exact return fields (summary block, per-advisory detail, links, alternative versions). It also covers edge cases like partial failures, timing, and ecosystem scope, making it complete for a composite tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema already provides full descriptions for both parameters (package and version), and schema coverage is 100%. The description adds minimal additional parameter-specific meaning beyond what the schema provides, warranting the baseline score of 3.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly defines the tool as a composite 'should I add this npm package' check, specifying it fans out to deps.dev and bundlephobia. It uses a specific verb and resource, and distinguishes itself from siblings by being the only tool focused on npm dependency evaluation.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
It explicitly states when to use: 'whenever an agent asks is X safe / popular / small' or 'what does adding lodash cost me'. It also provides an exclusion by noting that non-NPM ecosystems should use deps.dev:version directly, guiding the user away from this tool for those cases.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
search_withinSearch Within a SourceARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Semantic search INSIDE a fetched record. Pass the text you already pulled (e.g. a SEC 10-K body, an article, a long tool result) plus a natural-language query; get back the top-N passages with character offsets and similarity scores. Use when the record is too big to cram into the prompt — search_within saves context, returns only the passages that matter, and every passage carries an offset so the agent can verify a verbatim quote. Pairs with ask_pipeworx_grounded: fetch with the gateway, ground over the relevant passages instead of the whole document. BGE-base-en embeddings + cosine over 500-char overlapping windows; cap is 200K chars (longer inputs are truncated and flagged).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| text | Yes | The document text to search inside (max ~200K chars). | |
| limit | No | Max passages to return (1-20, default 5). | |
| query | Yes | Natural-language query — what passages do you want? E.g. "supply-chain risk", "fiscal year 2024 revenue", "drug interactions with warfarin". |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare read-only/idempotent behavior, but the description goes further by revealing exact mechanics: BGE-base-en embeddings, cosine similarity, 500-char overlapping windows, a 200K char cap with truncation flag, and return contents (offsets, similarity scores). This substantially exceeds the annotation baseline.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is front-loaded with the core action and use case, and every subsequent clause adds operational detail. It is somewhat long, but all information (algorithm, limits, pairing) is relevant to correct invocation rather than padding.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
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 directly states what the caller receives: top-N passages with character offsets and similarity scores. It also covers input limits and truncation behavior, making it sufficient for an autonomous agent to invoke the tool correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema already documents all three parameters with 100% coverage. The description adds concrete usage context—examples of appropriate text (SEC 10-K body) and query phrasing—that enriches comprehension without needing to restate schema details.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description opens with a specific verb phrase, 'Semantic search INSIDE a fetched record,' and clearly defines inputs and outputs. It distinguishes itself from the sibling ask_pipeworx_grounded by explaining the intended pairing, making its unique role unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides an explicit trigger: 'Use when the record is too big to cram into the prompt' and explains the context-saving benefit. It names a companion tool (ask_pipeworx_grounded) and contrasts grounding over relevant passages vs. the whole document, though it does not state explicit non-use cases.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
stat_ee_find_tableStat Ee Find TableARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Search Statistics Estonia (Statistikaamet) for ESTONIA official statistics tables by plain-English keyword — "average monthly wage", "population", "GDP", "unemployment", "consumer price index", "births", "exports". Returns each matching table with its full ready-to-use path, its English label chain (e.g. "Economy > Wages and salaries and labour costs > Wages and salaries"), and whether it is a folder or a table. START HERE for any question about Estonian data. Set fetch_latest:true to also return the most recent figures from the top-matching table in one call — useful for "what is the current X in Estonia" questions. Otherwise hand the returned path to table_meta, then query_table, to get the figures. Searches English labels, so English words find the table even though the path ids themselves are Estonian slugs.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| path | No | Optional sub-path to search under, e.g. "majandus" (Economy) or "rahvastik" (Population). Default searches the whole tree. | |
| limit | No | Max matches to return (default 25, max 100). | |
| query | Yes | Plain-English words describing the statistic, e.g. "average monthly wage", "unemployment rate", "population by county". All words must appear somewhere in a match's label chain. | |
| max_depth | No | Levels of the subject tree to walk below the starting path (default 5, max 6). Tables sit 4-5 levels below the root. | |
| fetch_latest | No | When true and the top match is a queryable table (.px), automatically fetches the most recent period's data from that table and includes it as "latest_data" in the response. Use this when you want the actual figure ("what is the average monthly wage in Estonia?") rather than just discovering the table path. Default false. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare read-only, idempotent, non-destructive behavior. The description adds valuable context: the tool returns label chains, indicates folder vs table, searches English labels while path ids are Estonian slugs, and explains the optional auto-fetch behavior of fetch_latest. No contradictions 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is information-dense but every sentence adds value: purpose, examples, return details, workflow guidance, and language quirk. It is front-loaded with the core purpose and logically structured, with no superfluous text.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, the description thoroughly explains what the tool returns (path, label chain, folder/table indicator) and how to use it in a broader workflow. It also covers edge concerns like language mismatches and optional parameters, making it sufficient for an agent to select and invoke the tool correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
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 beyond the schema by providing concrete query examples, clarifying the meaning of 'path' with Estonian slug examples, and explaining the fetch_latest behavior in context ('what is the current X in Estonia'). This enhances parameter understanding beyond bare schema descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's function: 'Search Statistics Estonia (Statistikaamet) for ESTONIA official statistics tables by plain-English keyword'. It includes specific verbs and resources, and distinguishes itself from siblings by explicitly positioning it as the starting point and directing users to table_meta and query_table for subsequent steps.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides explicit when-to-use guidance: 'START HERE for any question about Estonian data.' It also explains when to use fetch_latest (for actual figures) versus when to hand the path to table_meta/query_table. This directly addresses alternatives and workflows.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Annotations already cover read-only and safety, so the description adds context beyond that: items are type 'l' or 't', ids end in .px, and browsing is 'one level at a time.' This gives a partial sense of the return structure, though no output schema exists. No annotation contradiction.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, front-loaded with the tool's purpose and then adding usage guidance. No redundant words, every sentence earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple browse tool, the description covers the core behavior, return item types, and workflow integration with sibling tools. It adequately fills the gap left by the absent output schema and makes the tool usable in a larger context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema description for the single parameter 'path' is already detailed (sub-path under /stat/, default empty, example). The description only reinforces the use of a path, so it adds no new meaning beyond the schema. Baseline 3 applies for high schema coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool 'browse[s] the subject tree of available tables' with a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes itself from the sibling stat_ee_find_table by noting that this tool is for browsing a known path while the sibling handles English questions. This makes 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.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
It explicitly says when to use this tool: 'Handy for listing everything under a path you already know' and provides an alternative ('use stat_ee_find_table'). It also gives follow-up steps with table_meta + query_table, so usage is well-defined.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
subscribeSubscribe to AlertsAIdempotentInspect
Create a proactive monitoring subscription to a live-data event stream. Returns the new subscription id. Requires a Pipeworx OAuth account (anonymous + BYO cannot persist subscriptions). Supported types: "sec_8k" (8-K filings matching ticker + item codes — e.g. items:["5.02"] = officer change), "polymarket_edge" (Polymarket↔Kalshi cross-venue mispricings — params:{topic:"fed"}), "fred_series" (new FRED observations — params:{series_id:"UNRATE"}). Delivery channels: feed (always on — pull via recent_alerts or GET registry.pipeworx.io/alerts.json), and optionally email (set delivery:{email:"you@x.com"}) or sms (delivery:{sms:"+15551234567"} — phone must be verified at /account first; 10/day cap).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| type | Yes | Subscription type. | |
| params | Yes | Type-specific filter. sec_8k: {ticker:"AAPL", items?:["5.02","1.01"]}. polymarket_edge: {topic:"fed", min_spread_bps?:500}. fred_series: {series_id:"UNRATE"}. patent_grant: {applicant:"Apple Inc."}. clinical_trial: {sponsor?:"Pfizer", condition?:"lung cancer", phase?:"PHASE3"} (sponsor or condition required). | |
| delivery | No | Optional delivery channels in addition to the always-on persistent feed. {email:"you@x.com"} sends a templated alert per fired event. {sms:"+15551234567"} sends an SMS per event — must match the verified phone on the caller's account (verify at https://pipeworx.io/account first; 10/day cap). {webhook:"https://..."} POSTs each event JSON to your endpoint, HMAC-signed — the response includes delivery.webhook_secret (whsec_…) ONCE; verify X-Pipeworx-Signature = sha256 HMAC of "<X-Pipeworx-Timestamp>.<raw body>". Auto-disabled after 10 consecutive failing runs. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description adds substantial behavioral detail beyond annotations: requires OAuth, returns subscription id, supports specific types with examples, email/SMS/webhook delivery nuances (verification, rate caps, webhook auto-disable, signing secret). No contradiction with annotations; it enriches them.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is dense but well-structured: purpose first, then requirements, types, and delivery channels. Every sentence carries essential information for a complex tool with five subscription types and three delivery options. No wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description covers all necessary aspects: return value, auth prerequisites, all supported types with concrete examples, delivery channels (always-on feed plus optional email/SMS/webhook), and critical limitations (phone verification, 10/day cap, webhook auto-disable). With no output schema, it sufficiently explains what to expect.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, but the description goes beyond it by explaining type-specific params (e.g., items:["5.02"] = officer change, topic:"fed" for polymarket), delivery channel requirements (verified phone, 10/day cap), and webhook signing details. This adds meaning beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's function: 'Create a proactive monitoring subscription to a live-data event stream. Returns the new subscription id.' This uses a specific verb (create) and resource (subscription), and distinguishes it from sibling tools like list_subscriptions and unsubscribe.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description gives clear context for when to use the tool (creating monitoring subscriptions) and includes important prerequisites (Pipeworx OAuth account). It does not explicitly name alternatives or state when not to use, but the context is strong enough for an agent to differentiate from list/unsubscribe tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
suggest_questionsWhat Can I Ask Pipeworx?ARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
What can I ask Pipeworx? / what is Pipeworx good for? / what can you do? / give me ideas / show me examples / getting started / what data do you have? — the onboarding entry point for an agent that just connected and wants to know what is worth asking. Returns category-bucketed example questions (company financials, drugs & clinical trials, economics, real estate, prediction markets, weather, government & patents, science & academia, news) — each with the exact tool + argument shape that answers it, drawn from the live catalog of thousands of tools. Call with no arguments for the full spread, or pass topic (e.g. "finance", "pharma", "betting") to focus. Use this FIRST when you do not yet know what Pipeworx can do for you, or to learn how to call the meta-tools (ask_pipeworx, entity_profile, compare_entities, etc.).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| topic | No | Optional focus area: finance | pharma | economics | real-estate | betting | weather | government | science | news. Omit for a cross-category spread. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already establish read-only, open-world, idempotent, and non-destructive behavior. The description goes beyond by detailing the category-bucketed output format with tool and argument shapes, the live catalog source, and the topic-focusing behavior—all valuable behavioral transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
While long, every sentence earns its place: the opening example queries help recognition, then the purpose, output, call pattern, and usage context are each addressed in sequence with no filler. It is efficiently structured and front-loaded with the most important facts.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description is fully sufficient for this simple tool: it explains what is returned (bucketed example questions with tool+argument shapes), the full-spread vs focused behavior, and when to use it. No output schema exists, but the return value description is clear enough.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 100% schema coverage for the single `topic` parameter, the schema already lists all allowed values and the omit behavior. The description adds only redundant examples (finance, pharma, betting), so it does not materially enhance understanding 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.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly identifies the tool as the onboarding entry point for discovering what to ask Pipeworx. It uses specific verbs like 'suggest' and 'returns example questions', and distinguishes it from operational tools like ask_pipeworx by positioning it as the discovery layer.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly directs to 'Use this FIRST when you do not yet know what Pipeworx can do for you' and explains how to leverage topic for focused results. It also references meta-tools (ask_pipeworx, entity_profile, compare_entities) as alternatives for specific queries, providing clear when-to-use context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
table_metaTable MetaARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Table definition (dimensions, valid values) for a Statistics Estonia table. Use these to build a filtered query_table call.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| path | Yes | e.g. "rahvastik/rahvastikunaitajad-ja-koosseis/rahvaarv-ja-rahvastiku-koosseis/RV021.PX" |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, openWorldHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false. The description adds no new behavioral context beyond its purpose (e.g., no details about response format, auth, or side effects), but it does not contradict the annotations. Given the annotations cover the safety profile, this is adequate but minimal.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two short sentences with no filler. The first sentence states what the tool returns, and the second explains how to use it. Every word earns its place, and the structure is front-loaded and easy to scan.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description is complete enough: it explains what the tool provides (dimensions, valid values) and how it should be used (to build a filtered query_table call). It does not describe the exact response structure, but that is not necessary given the tool's simplicity and the context signals.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema already provides 100% coverage for the single 'path' parameter, including an example. The description adds a hint that the path refers to a Statistics Estonia table and that the result is used for filtering, but it does not add significant new meaning beyond the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate given high schema coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly identifies the tool as returning the table definition (dimensions, valid values) for a Statistics Estonia table, which is distinct from siblings like query_table (which queries data) and stat_ee_find_table (which finds tables). The verb is implied (get/retrieve) but the resource and content are specific.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly states 'Use these to build a filtered query_table call', which tells the agent when to use this tool (before querying a table to get filter dimensions). It does not explicitly list when not to use it, but the specific use case is clear and ties directly to a sibling tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
unsubscribeUnsubscribe from AlertsAIdempotentInspect
Cancel a subscription by id. Ownership is enforced — you can only cancel your own subscriptions. The row is deactivated (not deleted) so its historical events stay available via recent_alerts.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | Yes | Subscription id (uuid) returned by subscribe. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description adds valuable behavior beyond annotations: 'Ownership is enforced — you can only cancel your own subscriptions' and 'The row is deactivated (not deleted)' are not present in the annotations. It explains the side effect on historical data, which is helpful for the agent.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences with no filler. The primary action is front-loaded, and the second sentence efficiently conveys constraints and behavioral nuance. Every word earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a single-parameter mutation tool with no output schema and no nested objects, the description covers the action, ownership constraint, and the deactivation effect. It does not describe return values or error behavior, but the simplicity of the tool and existing annotations make this acceptable.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% for the single 'id' parameter with a clear description. The tool description adds the ownership constraint ('only cancel your own'), which is not in the schema, giving additional semantic meaning about what ids are valid.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description starts with a clear verb+resource: 'Cancel a subscription by id.' It explicitly distinguishes from sibling tools by noting the deactivation behavior ('not deleted') and ownership enforcement, making its purpose unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description clearly implies when to use this tool (to cancel a subscription) and provides important context: ownership is enforced, and historical events remain available via recent_alerts. It does not explicitly list when-not-to-use or name alternatives, but the context is sufficiently clear.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
validate_claimValidate ClaimARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
"Is it true that…" / "fact check" / "verify the claim that…" / "did X really…" / "was Y actually…" / "confirm or refute" / "true or false" — natural-language claim verification against authoritative sources. Use whenever the agent needs to check whether something a user said is factually correct. Company-financial claims (revenue, net income, cash for public US companies) verify via the structured SEC EDGAR + XBRL fast path with exact percent-delta math; ANY OTHER factual claim (macro statistics, rates, prices, drug data, records) automatically falls through to the grounded pipeline — routed to the right live source, answered with verbatim evidence, then judged. Returns a verdict (confirmed / approximately_correct / refuted / inconclusive / unsupported), the grounded or structured actual value with pipeworx:// citation, and reasoning. Replaces 4–6 sequential calls (NL parsing → entity resolution → data lookup → comparison).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| claim | Yes | Natural-language factual claim, e.g., "Apple's FY2024 revenue was $400 billion" or "Microsoft made about $100B in profit last year". | |
| tolerance_pct | No | Max percent deviation still graded approximately_correct (0.5–50). Overrides the tolerance implied by the claim wording — set 1–2 for hallucination detection where any material error must be refuted. Default: implied by wording, capped at 5. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare read-only/open-world/idempotent/non-destructive, so the bar is lower. The description adds valuable context: it details two distinct execution paths (SEC EDGAR fast path vs. grounded pipeline), what the output includes (verdict, actual value, citation, reasoning), and the exact verdict categories. It also reveals the internal comparison logic ('exact percent-delta math') and the fact that claims are 'answered with verbatim evidence, then judged.' 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is thorough and well-structured, starting with trigger examples, then purpose, then routing logic, output, and value. It is slightly verbose with the list of synonyms for claims, but each sentence carries useful information. It is front-loaded with the most important purpose and usage guidance, earning a high score for conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having no output schema, the description fully compensates by explicitly listing the return fields (verdict, actual value, citation, reasoning) and explaining the two processing paths. It also mentions the tool's role in replacing sequential calls, giving the agent a complete mental model. The complexity of the tool is high, and the description leaves no significant gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The schema already explains the 'claim' and 'tolerance_pct' parameters fully. The tool description adds minimal extra meaning beyond mentioning 'exact percent-delta math' and the verdict 'approximately_correct,' which is indirectly related to tolerance. It does not introduce any undocumented parameters or complexity, so a baseline score is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description opens with explicit natural-language triggers ('Is it true that…', 'fact check', 'verify the claim that…') and states the core function: 'natural-language claim verification against authoritative sources.' It clearly distinguishes this from siblings by focusing on claim verdicts rather than general Q&A or research, and the example phrases make the tool's scope instantly recognizable.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Provides an explicit 'Use whenever the agent needs to check whether something a user said is factually correct.' It also explains the internal routing for financial vs. other claims and notes that it replaces multiple sequential calls. However, it does not explicitly say when not to use it or name alternative tools, though the 'replaces 4–6 sequential calls' implies a strong preference for this tool over composing other tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
