Read-onlyIdempotent

"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.

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations indicate readOnly, openWorld, idempotent, non-destructive. Description adds fan-out behavior, fallback logic, and soft-fail details, providing significant extra transparency without contradiction.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Description is long but well-structured with front-loaded examples and clear sections. Could be slightly more concise but each sentence adds value.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Despite no output schema, description explains return structure (changes grouped by source, total_changes count, citation URIs). Parameters fully documented and behavior clear.

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 covers 100% parameters with descriptions. Description adds context on accepted formats, example values, and explains CIK acceptance, going beyond schema.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states it provides a change feed for a company in a recent time window, listing multiple sources (SEC, GDELT, USPTO) and distinguishing from the sibling tool entity_profile that gives static profile.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The description gives explicit when-to-use scenarios and alternative tool (entity_profile). It does not explicitly state when not to use, but the context and sibling tool name suffice.

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

A3.8/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Several tools are near-duplicates: ask_pipeworx_beta is explicitly identical to ask_pipeworx right now, ask_pipeworx_grounded is the same router with an extra extraction pass, and deep_research/ask_pipeworx overlap for broad questions. The prediction-market tools and the StatCan series/cube/indicator tools also have fuzzy boundaries despite their detailed descriptions.

Naming Consistency3/5

Names consistently use snake_case, but the set mixes verb-first names (resolve_entity, validate_claim, subscribe) with domain-prefixed noun-first names (statcan_*, polymarket_*, pipeworx_*) and one-off names like ai_visibility_check and generate_llms_txt. The domain prefixes help navigation, but there is no single predictable pattern and the ask_pipeworx_* suffix variants break the prefix convention.

Tool Count2/5

38 tools is well beyond the 25+ threshold, and the server named Statcan carries only 8 StatCan-specific tools alongside general Pipeworx routing, prediction-market analysis, AI visibility, dependency scanning, memory, and subscription features. This feels like several servers merged into one rather than a well-scoped StatCan interface.

Completeness4/5

Within the apparent StatCan data-access scope, the surface is solid: listing cubes, metadata, cube data, vector series, headline indicators, CSV URLs, and change detection cover the core workflows. The broader Pipeworx/analysis layers also include discovery, grounded lookups, entity resolution, validation, subscriptions, and memory, with only minor gaps like server-side StatCan search and no way to execute on prediction-market signals.
