Deep Research

deep_research
Read-onlyIdempotent

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 1517 STRUCTURED data sources (SEC filings, FRED/BLS economics, FDA, USPTO patents, markets, science, government records, etc.) in ONE call — this is NOT open-web search. Decomposes your question into focused facets, routes each to the right one of 5,798 tools IN PARALLEL, and returns a findings packet: verbatim evidence + confidence + source + fetched_at + a stable pipeworx:// citation per finding, with explicit gaps[] for facets the data couldn't answer (never invented). Best for broad/multi-part questions over structured data ("compare X and Y's regulatory + financial exposure", "research the filings + market picture for ACME"). For a single lookup use ask_pipeworx (one LLM call, not many). For BREAKING or colloquial CURRENT-NEWS / "what's the world saying about X" topics, prefer ask_pipeworx — it routes to live news APIs and the *-news-feeds packs; deep_research returns mostly empty gaps[] when the topic isn't in the structured catalog. Second-hop iteration: depth:"standard" re-angles unanswered gaps (gap recovery); depth:"thorough" additionally chases the best leads from the first pass — so multi-step questions resolve in one call. Every finding carries a hop field and a citation_uri — a resolvable pipeworx:// record URI, present only when the source emits one that resources/read can actually serve, so a citation you get back is always fetchable. "standard" and "thorough" also return contradictions[] flagging findings that disagree. Large records are semantically excerpted to the passages relevant to each facet (not head-truncated), so answers deep in a long filing/series aren't missed. Expect 15-60s (thorough with its follow-up + contradiction pass: up to ~90s).

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
depthNoHow many facets to research in parallel: quick=3 (single hop), standard=3 (default; adds a gap-recovery hop that re-angles unanswered facets + a contradictions[] scan across findings), thorough=6 (paid; adds a full iterative hop that chases leads + recovers gaps, plus the contradictions[] scan).
questionYesThe research question, in natural language. Broad/multi-part is fine — decomposition is the point.

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnlyHint=true, openWorldHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false), and the description adds substantial behavior beyond them: account/pricing gates, latency windows (15-60s, ~90s for thorough), gaps[] 'never invented', contradictions[] for standard/thorough, the hop/citation_uri fetchability guarantee, and semantic excerpting 'not head-truncated'. No contradiction with annotations — a read-only, idempotent research tool that never fabricates findings is fully consistent with the annotated hints.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness2/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description runs well over 400 words and contains a visibly corrupted, repetitive middle section with broken fragments and recycled sibling-routing phrases ('For a single lookup use ask_pipeworx... use ask_pipeworx_grounded' appearing multiple times). The opening and closing sentences are strong and front-loaded, but the garbled passage undermines readability and a coherent version would be roughly half the length.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a complex tool with no output schema, the description carries full return-format duty and does so comprehensively: findings packet fields (verbatim evidence, confidence, source, fetched_at, citation_uri), gaps[], contradictions[], depth behavior, auth, pricing, and latency are all covered. Nothing essential is missing; the deduction is for the garbled middle section, which could cause an agent to misparse the sibling-routing instructions.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3, but the description adds real value: it reveals that depth:'thorough' 'needs a paid plan', that an account is required before the tool works at all, and it narrates the hop mechanics (second iteration re-angles gaps, thorough chases leads) that map onto the depth enum. The question parameter is already well covered by both schema and description, so no additional credit is needed there.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description states a specific verb+resource+scope: 'Grounded multi-source research across Pipeworx's 1517 STRUCTURED data sources... in ONE call', and details the mechanism (decomposes into facets, routes to 5,798 tools IN PARALLEL, returns a findings packet). It also differentiates from siblings and open-web search with the explicit 'this is NOT open-web search' and by naming ask_pipeworx/ask_pipeworx_grounded as the tools for other use cases. The corrupted middle passage adds noise, but the opening purpose statement is unambiguous.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Guidance is explicit and complete: 'Best for broad/multi-part questions over structured data' with concrete examples, plus named when-not-to-use alternatives — 'For a single lookup use ask_pipeworx', 'For narrow research across structured sources, use ask_pipeworx_grounded', and 'If you are not signed in, use ask_pipeworx instead'. The depth tiers also carry usage implications (thorough is paid). The garbled repetitions of the sibling routing fragments are noisy but do not obscure the coherent guidance.

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

A3.7/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

The set contains several clusters of overlapping tools: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, ask_pipeworx_grounded, and deep_research all serve broad data-query purposes, while the six Polymarket-related tools (bet_research, polymarket_arbitrage, polymarket_edges, polymarket_edge_tracker, polymarket_fill_risk, polymarket_kalshi_spread) heavily overlap in scope. The detailed descriptions help, but an agent would frequently struggle to choose the correct tool among near-synonyms.

Naming Consistency3/5

All names use snake_case, but the underlying pattern is inconsistent: list_*/get_* for Statbel, ask_* for query routers, noun-heavy names like entity_profile, bet_research, polymarket_edges, and recent_alerts, plus bare verbs like remember, recall, forget, subscribe, unsubscribe. It remains readable, but there is no single predictable verb_noun convention across the set.

Tool Count2/5

At 35 tools, the set exceeds the range where each tool clearly earns its place, and the scope is wildly broad: Belgian statistics, general data lookup, prediction markets, npm dependency checks, memory, subscriptions, llms.txt generation, and AI visibility. A server named 'Statbel Be' carries 31 tools unrelated to that name, which makes the count feel bloated and unfocused.

Completeness2/5

For the Statbel domain implied by the server name, the surface is severely incomplete: list_datasets, get_dataset, list_views, and get_view only return metadata — there is no tool to actually fetch the statistical data values. For the broader Pipeworx data-access domain, coverage is more complete, but the server's stated purpose is under-served and leaves core workflows at a dead end.
