Tool Definition Quality
Average 4.5/5 across 33 of 33 tools scored.
There are several groups of tools with overlapping purposes (e.g., multiple 'ask' tools, multiple 'polymarket' tools, and several tools for company data). While descriptions provide distinctions, an agent could easily misselect among similar tools like ask_pipeworx vs ask_pipeworx_grounded or bet_research vs polymarket_edges.
All tool names follow a consistent snake_case verb_noun pattern (e.g., ask_pipeworx, compare_entities, generate_llms_txt). No mixed conventions or chaotic naming, making the set predictable.
With 33 tools, the server is overpopulated for a focused purpose like Moldova statistics. Many tools are generic Pipeworx utilities unrelated to the server name, making the set feel bloated and unfocused.
Despite the server name 'Statbank Md', only 3 tools (query_table, table_meta, subjects) are dedicated to Moldova statistics. The rest are a broad collection of data access tools, so the surface is incomplete for the named domain.
Available Tools
33 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 provide readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint. The description adds value by explaining the default model (free Workers AI), the need for a BYO key for Anthropic, and the return structure (per-model {score, confidence, signals, raw_response}). 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 single paragraph, front-loaded with the main function, and every sentence provides essential information (purpose, default, optional key, return structure, use cases). No redundant or vague phrasing.
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 4 parameters, no output schema, and annotations covering safety, the description explains all parameters (entity, models, _apiKey, context), default behavior, and the per-model response fields. It is fairly complete, though a brief note on pagination or rate limits could further improve 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?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds meaning beyond the schema: it clarifies the default model ('Workers AI Llama-3.3-70b (free)'), explains that _apiKey is passed through to Anthropic, and notes that context aids disambiguation. This extra context raises the score.
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: 'Probe one or more LLMs for what they know about a business / brand / product / topic and score visibility (0-100) per model.' It uses specific verbs (probe, score) and resources (LLMs), and distinguishes from sibling tools like ask_pipeworx (question answering) and compare_entities (comparison).
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 mentions use cases: 'AI-marketing audits, pre-launch brand checks, competitive monitoring.' It also notes required and optional parameters (entity required, models and _apiKey optional with conditions). However, it does not explicitly state when not to use this tool versus alternatives, though the context from sibling tools implies differentiation.
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 4,482 tools across 1129 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. | |
| 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?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, openWorldHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false. The description adds that it returns structured answers with citation URIs and routes to many tools, which is useful context beyond 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 well-structured with front-loaded preference, examples, and alternatives. Could be slightly trimmed but 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 tool with one effective parameter (question) and no output schema, the description is complete: explains purpose, usage, alternatives, and expected output (structured answer with citations).
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 parameters (aliases for question) described. The description adds minimal additional semantics beyond examples; 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 clearly states the tool routes questions to a large set of tools across verified sources and returns structured answers with citations. It distinguishes from siblings like ask_pipeworx_grounded and deep_research.
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 says 'PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH' for specific types of questions, provides examples, and directs when to use alternatives (e.g., ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research). Complete guidance.
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 4,482 across 1129 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?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description adds significant context: extraction from tool result only, explicit refusal reasons, and extra LLM cost. 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?
Well-structured: front-loaded purpose, then behavior, use cases, and trade-off. Each sentence adds value, though slightly verbose for a tool description.
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?
Comprehensive coverage of return format (including success and refusal fields), behavioral nuances, and cost trade-off. No output schema exists, so description fills the gap adequately.
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 clear descriptions for all 6 alias parameters. The description adds minimal new information about parameters beyond stating they accept natural language questions.
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 it is a 'hallucination-resistant answer mode for high-stakes reads' and distinguishes itself from 'ask_pipeworx' by detailing the extraction step and refusal reasons.
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 (high-stakes reads for quotable/citable answers) and when not to (prefer ask_pipeworx for casual lookups), with specific examples like financial verdicts and medical lookups.
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 far exceeds the annotations (readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint) by detailing internal behavior: market resolution, classification, fan-out to category-specific data packs, response shapes, resolver contract, parent_event extraction, news fallback logic, low-confidence handling, closed/dead markets, wide-spread warnings, and resolution-rule risk. 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 comprehensive but verbose, using section headers (CLASSIFIERS, FAN-OUT EXAMPLES, RESPONSE SHAPES) for structure. While well-organized, many sentences are dense with examples and edge cases, making it longer than necessary. Some repetition occurs (e.g., market input examples appear in both the description and schema examples).
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 return fields (result.market, result.analysis, result.evidence) and edge cases (low-confidence, closed markets, wide spreads, resolution rules). It covers safety, blocking paths, and actionable alerts. This is exceptional completeness for a complex tool with 3 parameters.
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 description repeats the parameter types (slug, URL, question text) and explains `depth` and `include_raw` in context, but adds limited new insight beyond the schema. It does not introduce previously undocumented parameters or 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 opens with a clear verb+resource: 'Research a Polymarket bet by pulling the relevant Pipeworx data for it in one call.' It specifies input types (slug, URL, question text) and distinguishes the tool from siblings (e.g., polymarket_arbitrage, polymarket_edges) by focusing on data retrieval for a single bet, not cross-market analysis.
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?
Explict usage contexts are given: 'Use for "should I bet on X", "what does the data say about Y", or "is there edge in Z".' Multiple examples illustrate typical use cases. However, it doesn't explicitly state when to avoid this tool or provide alternatives, leaving some ambiguity.
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. Description adds valuable behavior: sorted by primary metric, returns citation URIs, handles fiscal year quirks, and specific data sources for each type. No contradictions.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Description is relatively long but every sentence adds value. Front-loaded with common query patterns. Slightly verbose in examples but well-organized and easy to parse.
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 2 parameters and no output schema, the description thoroughly explains data sources, sorting, citation URIs, and fiscal year handling. Fully equips the agent to select and invoke 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% with descriptions for both parameters. Description significantly enhances meaning: explains what data is pulled for each type (SEC filings for companies, FAERS for drugs), sorting behavior, and gives real examples of values.
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 it provides side-by-side comparison of 2-5 companies or drugs. Distinguishes from sibling tools like entity_profile (single entity) and explicitly contrasts with sequential lookups.
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 advises to prefer over sequential lookups when comparing entities. Provides example queries and differentiates behavior for company vs drug. Does not explicitly list when not to use (e.g., for single entity), but the context is clear.
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 1129 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 4,482 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. Expect 15-60s.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| depth | No | How many facets to research in parallel: quick=3, standard=5 (default), thorough=8 (paid plans). | |
| 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?
Annotations already declare safe, idempotent, open-world behavior. Description adds critical context: account required, paid plan for thorough depth, returns findings packet with evidence+confidence+source+citation, explicit gaps[], never invents, decomposes question into parallel facets. 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?
Description is dense but well-structured, front-loaded with critical account requirement and alternative. Every sentence adds value. Could be slightly more concise, but highly informative.
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 complexity (multi-source, parallel research, 1129 sources, output format), description explains what it does, expected output, limitations, and alternatives. No output schema, but return packet is described in sufficient detail.
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 parameters. Description adds meaning: depth values ('quick=3, standard=5, thorough=8') and clarifies that question should be broad/multi-part. This goes beyond 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?
Description clearly states 'Grounded multi-source research across Pipeworx's 1129 STRUCTURED data sources' – specific verb and resource. Distinguishes from siblings by contrasting with ask_pipeworx for single lookups and live news.
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 says when to use (broad/multi-part questions over structured data) and when not (breaking news, current news). Also mentions account requirement and free vs paid tiers, with clear alternative tools.
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 and idempotentHint=true, indicating safe, read-only behavior. The description adds valuable context: returns top-N tools with schemas and curated examples, and that results are 'ready to call directly, no second schema lookup needed.' This goes beyond annotations and aids the agent in understanding the tool's value.
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 the purpose first, then usage, examples, and return details. It is somewhat long but every sentence adds value. It could be slightly more concise, but it's well-organized and front-loaded.
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 (discovery with multiple aliases and limits) and completeness of annotations and schema, the description covers all necessary aspects: purpose, when to use, input parameters, and output content. No output schema exists, but the description explains the return value adequately. The tool is self-contained for its role.
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 description adds meaning by noting that 'query' accepts aliases like task, q, description, search, and that limit defaults to 20 (max 50). This helps the agent parameterize calls without needing to infer from schema alone.
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 lists specific use cases (SEC filings, financials, etc.) and explains the output: top-N relevant tools with names, descriptions, and full input schemas. This uniquely distinguishes it from sibling tools, which are individual data-access tools.
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 'Call this FIRST when you have many tools available and want to see the option set (not just one answer).' This gives clear guidance on when to use. It also states 'Use when you need to browse, search, look up, or discover.' However, it does not explicitly mention when not to use or provide alternatives, so it's not a perfect 5.
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?
Annotations already indicate read-only, open-world, idempotent, non-destructive behavior. The description adds significant detail: fans out across multiple sources, returns specific fields, notes USPTO soft-fail, and mentions GDELT→GNews fallback. 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 dense with information but could be slightly more structured. However, it is front-loaded with example queries and every sentence adds value, so it earns a 4.
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 (multiple data sources, fallbacks, return fields) and lack of output schema, the description comprehensively explains what is returned (CIK, filings, fundamentals, patents, news, LEI) and limitations. It covers all necessary 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?
Schema already covers both parameters (type, value) with descriptions. The description enhances them by providing concrete examples (e.g., 'AAPL' or '0000320193'), clarifying that names are unsupported, and directing to resolve_entity for names.
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 provides a 'full cross-source profile of a US public company in ONE parallel call,' using example queries to illustrate intent. It distinguishes from siblings like resolve_entity by specifying input requirements.
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 advises preferring this tool over chaining single-pack lookups for holistic views. Specifies that only ticker or CIK are accepted, and directs users with names to use resolve_entity first.
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 declare destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=true; description reinforces deletion and adds context about clearing sensitive data and stale context. No contradictions, but full behavioral disclosure is well-supported.
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 purpose, no redundant text. 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?
Given one parameter, no output schema, and clear annotations, the description fully covers what the tool does, when to use it, and its behavioral traits.
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?
Single parameter 'key' with schema description 'Memory key to delete'. Schema coverage is 100%, so description adds little beyond schema. Baseline of 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?
Description states 'Delete a previously stored memory by key' with verb+resource clarity. Distinguishes from sibling tools 'remember' and 'recall' by context.
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 says 'Use when context is stale, the task is done, or you want to clear sensitive data' and suggests pairing with 'remember' and 'recall', providing clear contextual guidance.

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 readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the tool is safe. The description adds that it 'fetches the page, extracts title/description/key links, and emits the standard llms.txt markdown format', confirming the read-only, non-destructive behavior. No contradiction identified.
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 of about three sentences, which is concise and front-loaded with the core purpose. It wastes no words, though it could be broken into bullet points for readability. Still, 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?
With no output schema, the description explains the output: 'a single text blob ready to drop at site-root/llms.txt.' It covers inputs (URL, max_links implicitly) and the process. However, it does not address error handling for invalid URLs or missing pages, but for a simple retrieval tool, it is fairly 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?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description does not add additional meaning beyond the schema descriptions: it mentions 'fetches the page' which implies URL usage, and 'max_links' is not elaborated further. Thus, no significant added value for parameters.
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 generates a 'production-ready llms.txt file for any URL', specifying the verb 'generate', the resource 'llms.txt', and the target users (AI crawlers). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools which focus on other aspects like AI visibility, research, or betting.
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 cases: '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.' It does not, however, mention when not to use or compare directly with sibling tools like 'ai_visibility_check', but the context is clear enough.
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?
Adds value beyond annotations by specifying default behavior (only active subscriptions) and return fields. Consistent with readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and non-destructive 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?
Two sentences, front-loaded with purpose then usage guidance. No unnecessary words, 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?
Sufficient for a simple read-only list tool. Clearly explains output, default behavior, and usage context. Could optionally mention if pagination exists, but not critical given one parameter and no output 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?
Schema covers the single parameter (include_inactive) completely (100%). Description does not add extra meaning beyond schema, but meets baseline for full 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?
Clearly states it lists active subscriptions for the caller and enumerates return fields (id, type, params, created_at, last_fired_at, fire_count). Differentiates from sibling tools like subscribe (add) and unsubscribe (remove).
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 advises use to review monitoring before adding more or to find an id to cancel. Provides clear context for when to use this tool instead of subscribe or unsubscribe.
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). 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?
The description discloses that the tool is rate-limited (5 per identifier per day), free, and does not count against quota. It mentions roadmap impact. These details go well beyond the minimal annotations (all false) and provide critical behavioral 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 a single coherent paragraph that front-loads purpose, then covers usage and constraints. It is informative without verbosity, though could be slightly more structured with bullet points for clarity.
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 adequately explains what happens after submission (digests read daily, roadmap impact) and mentions rate limits. The tool is simple, and the description provides all necessary context 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%, but the description adds value by elaborating on the message format ('Be specific... 1-2 sentences typical, 2000 chars max') and explaining the context object fields. This enhances the agent's 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 specifies the exact purpose: 'Tell the Pipeworx team something is broken, missing, or needs to exist.' It details common use cases (bug, feature/data_gap, praise) and the tool is clearly distinct from all sibling tools (none are feedback-oriented).
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 when to use the tool for specific scenarios (bug, feature/data_gap, praise) and what not to do ('don't paste the end-user's prompt'). It lacks explicit 'when not to use' guidance but sufficiently covers main use cases.
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?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint. Description adds valuable context about data source (CF analytics-engine), privacy (no PII), and caching (5min-1h). 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?
Description is well-structured with purpose first, then bulleted use cases. Each sentence adds value, though it could be slightly more compact.
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 simplicity of the tool, the description covers everything: what it returns, how to use the parameter, behavioral notes, and caching. No missing details.
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% and already explains the window parameter well. Description repeats the purpose but doesn't add new semantic detail beyond 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?
Description clearly states the tool returns top tools, packs, and call volume over a configurable window. It distinguishes from siblings by focusing on trending usage rather than individual queries or discovery.
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 lists three concrete use cases (discovering hot data sources, confirming canonical tools, checking alignment). While it doesn't explicitly contrast with alternatives, the use cases imply appropriate contexts.
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
REQUIRES one of event (single-event mode) OR topic (cross-event mode) — call with no args fails. Find arbitrage opportunities on Polymarket via monotonicity violations + partition-sum checks. 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?
Annotations declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint false. The description adds extensive context: it explains monotonicity checks, partition-sum checks, semantic anchor (Jaccard >=0.30), partition filter, fill check, and response format. No contradictions.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is well-structured with sections and examples, but it is lengthy and could be more concise. It front-loads the requirement and then provides details.
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 (arbitrage detection with multiple checks), the description is comprehensive: it covers event mode, topic mode, semantic anchor, partition filter, fill check, and response fields. No output schema exists, so the description carries the burden and does so thoroughly.
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%, but the description adds significant value: it explains the two modes, provides examples of slugs and seed questions, and describes the triggering of fill check. This goes well beyond the schema's 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 clearly states it 'finds arbitrage opportunities on Polymarket via monotonicity violations + partition-sum checks' and distinguishes between event and topic modes with specific examples. This is a specific verb+resource with mode distinction.
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 'REQUIRES one of event (single-event mode) OR topic (cross-event mode) — call with no args fails' and recommends event for specific markets and topic for cross-event scanning. It also explains when not to trade via fill check. However, it does not explicitly contrast with sibling tools like polymarket_edges or polymarket_fill_risk, though the description itself is clear.
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?
Annotations declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint true and destructiveHint false. The description adds extensive behavioral context: three model families with detailed methodology, response structure with diagnostics, caching behavior ('Cached 1h at KV level'), and tradeable-edge filter effects. 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 long but well-organized: front-loaded purpose, then model families, response fields, and knobs. Every section adds value for a complex tool with 9 parameters. Could be tightened slightly, but the length is justified by the tool's sophistication.
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 (multiple model families, response segments, filtering knobs) and the absence of an output schema, the description fully compensates by detailing the response structure (by_segment, fed_candidates, diagnostics) and explaining filter interactions. No gaps remain for an agent to understand what the tool returns.
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 for all 9 parameters with detailed descriptions. The tool description adds some extra usage context (e.g., slippage adjustment advice, Kelly filter rationale) but does not fundamentally extend meaning beyond the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb ('scan' and 'return opportunities') and resource ('Polymarket markets where Pipeworx data disagrees with market price'). It distinguishes from siblings by specifying its focus on data-disagreement edges, as opposed to arbitrage (sibling tool 'polymarket_arbitrage'). The 'what should I bet on today' phrasing reinforces a distinct use case.
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 implies when to use (daily bet discovery) and includes filtering knobs to narrow results, but it does not explicitly mention when not to use this tool or suggest alternative siblings for other scenarios (e.g., deep analysis or pure arbitrage). The context is adequate but lacks explicit exclusion or comparison.
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 indicate readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false. The description adds details: snapshots written on cache-miss, gaps mean no scan, decay from daily closes not intraday, and sign of edge_pp_net. No contradictions. Could explicitly mention safety, but annotations cover it.
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 with information, front-loading the core purpose. Every sentence is useful, but slightly long. Could be trimmed without losing meaning, but overall 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?
No output schema, so description must explain return values. It does thoroughly: tracked, expired, snapshot_dates arrays with detailed fields and meaning. Also covers limits (TTL, cache gaps). Complete for a 2-param 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%. The description adds context: days default 14 max 30, window default '1wk' and explains window as 'snapshot family'. This adds value beyond schema, though it could be more precise about allowed window values.
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 provides edge persistence and decay telemetry from daily snapshots, answering 'how long has this edge existed and is it shrinking?' It distinguishes itself from siblings by focusing on time-series analysis rather than current edges, with specific output fields.
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 on when to use: when needing historical edge persistence/decay, explaining that a fresh wide edge and a 3-week-old wide edge are different trades. It also notes limits (60-day TTL, cache-miss gaps). It does not explicitly name alternatives but implies the sibling polymarket_edges tool for current edges.
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 mark it as read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive. The description adds significant behavioral context: it walks the order book ladder, returns a verdict, warns about partial basket fills converting arb to unhedged directional position, and details per-leg fill information. 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 dense but well-structured with clear sections for single-market and basket modes. Every sentence contributes value. Slightly verbose but justified given the tool's complexity. Could be trimmed by a sentence or two without losing clarity.
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 return values: for single-market (top_of_book, vwap_fill_price, slippage_pp, shares_filled, max_fillable_usd, verdict) and for basket (theoretical_sum, realizable_sum, capture_ratio, profit_usd, per-leg fill detail, thin_legs, max_clean_notional_usd, forced_directional_risk). Covers edge cases like thin legs and unhedged risk.
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 descriptions for all 4 parameters. The description adds further meaning: explains size_usd interpretation per mode, default side logic for basket, and what inputs market/event accept. This provides additional utility 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+resource: 'Realizable-vs-theoretical edge check against live CLOB order-book depth.' It clearly distinguishes single-market and basket modes, and differentiates from siblings like polymarket_arbitrage and polymarket_edges by stating when to use this tool before them.
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.' Explains why with reasoning about capturable overround and partial fill risk. Also specifies requirement of either market or event parameter.
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?
The description provides extensive behavioral details beyond the annotations: it explains the spread calculation, response structure (leg-by-leg prices, top spreads), safety fields (compatibility_warning, temporal_alignment, skipped_cross counters), and notes that real spreads are rarer than the shortcut list suggests. 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 well-structured with sections (TWO MODES, RESPONSE, SAFETY FIELDS) and front-loads the core purpose. While it is relatively long, every sentence adds value and there is no redundancy. Minor verbosity keeps it from a 5.
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 lack of an output schema, the description thoroughly explains the response format, safety fields, and parameter combinations. It covers edge cases (compatibility warnings, temporal alignment) and provides sufficient context for an AI 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 schema covers all 3 parameters with descriptions, and the tool description enriches them: it lists the 10 topic shortcuts, explains that explicit tickers override the topic-mapped side, and provides examples. This adds meaning beyond the schema alone.
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 cross-venue spread calculator between Kalshi and Polymarket. It explains two distinct modes (topic shortcuts and explicit tickers) and distinguishes itself from similar sibling tools like polymarket_arbitrage by focusing on cross-venue spreads.
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 explains when to use each mode: topic for pre-mapped shortcuts, explicit for custom pairings. It also warns that most pre-mapped topics return compatibility warnings, advising that not all calls yield tradeable spreads. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use the tool, though the context implies it is for identifying viable arbitrage opportunities.
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
POST a PxWeb query to a Moldova National Bureau of Statistics (Statbank) table and return observations as json-stat2. body must be {query:[{code, selection:{filter,values}}], response:{format:'json-stat2'}}. PxWeb caps responses at ~10,000 cells — narrow each dimension's values using codes from table_meta.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| body | Yes | {query: [{code, selection: {filter, values}}], response: {format: "json-stat2"}} | |
| path | Yes | Path ending in the ".px" table id. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Adds significant behavioral details beyond annotations: it is a POST request with a specific body format, has a cell cap, and recommends using table_meta for dimension codes. 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?
Two sentences with no fluff. The first sentence immediately states the action and format; the second adds critical constraints. Front-loaded and efficient.
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?
Covers required body format, constraints (10k cell cap), and mentions the return format (json-stat2). Could include error handling or authorization but is adequate for the tool's simplicity.
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 descriptions for both parameters. The description adds practical context about body format and path ending, enhancing understanding.
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 it posts a PxWeb query to a Moldova Statbank table and returns observations in json-stat2 format. It does not explicitly differentiate from the sibling tool 'table_meta', but the purpose is distinct.
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 guidance to narrow dimensions using codes from table_meta and notes the 10,000-cell cap. It does not specify when not to use the tool or name alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
recallRecallARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Retrieve a value previously saved via remember, or list all saved keys (omit the key argument). 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| key | No | Memory key to retrieve (omit to list all keys) |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already cover readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive. Description adds scoping (by identifier) and behavior when key is omitted (lists all). No contradictions.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Three sentences, each adds value: purpose, usage examples, scoping. No redundancy or extra 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?
For a simple 1-param read tool with good annotations, the description covers purpose, usage, scope, and sibling pairing. Agent has full guidance.
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 optional key parameter with description; description reinforces the omit-for-listing behavior. Baseline 3 is appropriate as schema does most of the work.
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 a saved value or lists all keys, using specific verbs and resources. It distinguishes itself from siblings 'remember' and 'forget' by explaining the complementary relationship.
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 advises when to use: look up previously stored context like ticker or address, avoiding re-derivation. Also notes pairing with remember/forget, guiding usage choices.
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?
Annotations already indicate read-only, idempotent, non-destructive. Description adds useful context: response fields, filtering, mark_read effect on subsequent calls, and polling suitability. 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?

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. | |

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/{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?
Beyond the annotations (readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, etc.), the description reveals internal cascading behavior and output structure per entity type (company returns ticker/CIK/company_name/citation; drug returns RxCUI/ingredient/brand/citation). This fully informs the agent of the tool's inner workings.
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?

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 absence of an output schema, the description fully explains return values for both entity types, including citation URIs. It also notes internal cascading, making the tool's behavior completely transparent. Annotations further cover safety and idempotency.
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 adds substantial value by providing detailed examples for each parameter type (e.g., 'ticker (AAPL), CIK (0000320193), or name' for company) and noting auto-disambiguation, which goes beyond the schema's brief 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 purpose: resolving a user-spoken name to a canonical identifier. It provides concrete examples ('What's the ticker for…') and explicitly distinguishes from sibling tools like 'compare_entities' or 'entity_profile' by focusing on identifier lookup.
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 includes explicit guidance: 'Use FIRST whenever you have a name but need an ID.' It does not list exclusions or alternatives, but the context signals list many sibling tools, and the use case is well-defined.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Schema coverage is 100%, but the description adds meaning by noting that the first entity is treated as the 'subject' for narrative. This goes beyond what the schema 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 states a specific verb ('Compare AI visibility across multiple entities side-by-side') and resource (competitor AI presence). It distinguishes from sibling 'ai_visibility_check' by emphasizing 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?
Provides clear context: 'Useful for competitive AI-marketing audits' and an example question. Lacks explicit when-not-to-use or alternatives, but the purpose is well-defined.
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?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and idempotentHint. The description adds valuable behavioral context: version defaults to latest, partial failures degrade gracefully, and bundlephobia's first measurement may take 5-30s. 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?
Well-structured with the core purpose first, then details. Some sentences are long, but all provide necessary information. Slightly wordy but earns its space.
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?
No output schema, but the description lists all returned fields (summary block, per-advisory detail, links, alternative versions). Also covers error handling and performance notes. Complete enough for agent use.
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 description adds meaning: explains that scoped packages are accepted and version defaults to latest. Baseline 3 is exceeded due to these clarifications.
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 it is a composite check for adding npm packages, combining deps.dev and bundlephobia data. It distinguishes from sibling tools by being a single-call aggregate for npm package 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?
Explicitly says to use when agents ask about safety, popularity, size, or cost of adding a package. Also specifies that only npm is supported in v1 and other ecosystems should use deps.dev directly.
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 readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint. Description adds truncation cap at 200K chars, embedding details (BGE-base-en, cosine over 500-char windows), and return features (character offsets, similarity scores). 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?
Efficiently structured: first sentence states core action, second provides usage scenario, third adds technical details. No wasted words, front-loaded key information.
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?
Covers function, use case, technical implementation, limitations (200K char cap), and integration with sibling tool. No output schema, but return values (offsets, scores) are described sufficiently.
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 descriptions, baseline 3. Description adds meaningful examples for query ('supply-chain risk') and explains truncation behavior, enhancing understanding beyond 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?
Description states specific verb ('semantic search') and resource ('inside a fetched record'), distinguishes from sibling tools by explaining when to use (record too big for prompt) and pairing with ask_pipeworx_grounded.
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 says 'Use when the record is too big to cram into the prompt' and 'Pairs with ask_pipeworx_grounded', providing clear context and alternative usage.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
subjectsSubjectsARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Navigate the database/subject tree. Root (empty path) lists databases ({dbid}). Drill into a database id to get folders (type "l") and tables (type "t", ".px" suffix).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| path | No | Sub-path under /en/ (default empty = root database list). First segment is a database id, e.g. "20 Populatia si procesele demografice/POP010/POPro". |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations declare read-only, open-world, idempotent, and non-destructive hints. The description adds context about the tree structure and the types of items at each level, which goes beyond 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 brief yet informative, consisting of two sentences that efficiently convey the purpose and behavior without extraneous information.
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 tool with comprehensive annotations and no output schema, the description adequately covers the navigation behavior and expected results at each path depth.
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 a clear parameter description. The tool description adds value by explaining the behavior at different path levels (root vs. database id), enhancing 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 navigates a database/subject tree, specifying that root lists databases and drilling into a database id yields folders and tables. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like query_table or table_meta.
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 implies usage for exploring database structure but lacks explicit guidance on when to use this tool vs. alternatives, such as query_table or table_meta.
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?
Annotations indicate idempotentHint=true, and description adds value by detailing delivery channels, limits (e.g., 10/day SMS cap), and webhook behavior (auto-disable). 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?
Description is detailed but front-loaded with purpose. Could be slightly more concise, but every sentence adds useful information.
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?
No output schema, but description mentions return of subscription id. Covers account requirements, types, delivery options, and limits. Complete for a subscription creation 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?
With 100% schema coverage, the description still adds significant meaning: examples for each type, detailed params structure, and delivery object explanation beyond schema definitions.
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 it 'Create a proactive monitoring subscription to a live-data event stream' and distinguishes from siblings like 'unsubscribe' and 'list_subscriptions' by focusing on creation.
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?

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

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 param, no output schema), the description covers all necessary context: return format, usage scenarios, and integration with meta-tools. It is complete for an agent to understand how and when 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% for the single parameter 'topic'. The description enriches this by listing possible values (finance, pharma, etc.) and explaining that omission gives a full spread. This adds meaning beyond what the schema provides, making the parameter semantics very clear.
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: returning category-bucketed example questions with exact tool+argument shapes. It uses specific action verbs ('returns', 'Use this FIRST') and contrasts with other tools implicitly by positioning it as the onboarding entry point. The description effectively distinguishes it from siblings like discover_tools.
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?

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 single parameter, no output schema, and robust annotations, the description covers everything needed: purpose, path format, and how to consume the output for query_table.
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 provides example value for path. Description adds constraint that path must end in '.px' and explains the path structure, giving more meaning than the schema alone.
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 fetches dimension definitions and valid coded values for a Moldova Statbank PxWeb table, with a specific path requirement. It differentiates from sibling tools like query_table.
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 instructs to use the output to build selection body for query_table, providing direct usage context. No ambiguity about when to invoke this 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?
Annotations already provide idempotentHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description adds important context: ownership is enforced, and rows are deactivated not deleted, preserving historical events. 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.

The description clearly states the verb 'Cancel' and the resource 'subscription by id'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'subscribe' and 'list_subscriptions' by specifying behavior and ownership enforcement.
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 implies when to use (when you have a subscription id to cancel) and includes ownership enforcement, but does not explicitly mention alternatives or when not to use. Context is 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. v1 supports company-financial claims (revenue, net income, cash position for public US companies) via SEC EDGAR + XBRL. Returns a verdict (confirmed / approximately_correct / refuted / inconclusive / unsupported), extracted structured form, actual value with pipeworx:// citation, and percent delta. Replaces 4–6 sequential calls (NL parsing → entity resolution → data lookup → numeric 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". |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

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 but slightly verbose. It uses natural language examples and a structured list of returns, which aids clarity. Minor redundancy (e.g., 'v1 supports...' could be integrated) keeps it from a 5.
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 tool with no output schema, the description fully specifies the input and output behavior, including the verdict types and source. It leaves no ambiguity about what the tool does or returns.
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 single parameter 'claim' is well-described with examples and domain constraints. Schema coverage is 100%, and the description adds value by specifying the type of factual claims and expected format, though the schema itself has a good 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 clearly states the tool's purpose as claim verification with explicit triggers like 'Is it true that…' and 'fact check'. It specifies the domain (company-financial claims for public US companies) and distinguishes itself from siblings by noting it replaces multiple sequential calls.
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 'Use whenever the agent needs to check whether something a user said is factually correct' and provides domain limitations ('v1 supports company-financial claims...'), giving clear when-to-use and when-not-to-use guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
