Scan Dependency

scan_dependency
Read-onlyIdempotent

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.

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Describes composite fan-out behavior, partial failure handling (graceful degradation, bundlephobia first measurement 5-30s, sources_failed list), and the return structure (summary, advisories, links, alternate versions). Annotations provide idempotentHint and readOnlyHint, and the description adds context beyond them 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?

The description is a single dense paragraph that front-loads the core purpose ('composite “should I add this npm package to my project” check') and then adds details. While not broken into sections, every sentence contributes value without redundancy.

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?

Given the moderate complexity (2 parameters, no output schema), the description fully informs the agent about what the tool does, its inputs, behavior, and return structure (summary block, per-advisory detail, links, recent alternative versions). No gaps remain.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema covers both parameters (package and version) with descriptions. The description does not add additional parameter details beyond what the schema provides, so baseline 3 is appropriate. It mentions default version behavior and scoped packages, but this is already in the 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 is a composite check combining deps.dev and bundlephobia data to answer if an npm package is safe/popular/small. It distinguishes from sibling tools by specifying the exact ecosystem (NPM) and mentioning alternatives for other ecosystems.

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?

Explicitly provides when to use: 'whenever an agent asks "is X safe / popular / small" or "what does adding lodash cost me". Also notes NPM-only in v1 and directs to deps.dev:version for other ecosystems, giving clear guidance on alternatives.

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

B3.3/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

The set has several near-duplicate entry points: ask_pipeworx and ask_pipeworx_beta are explicitly identical right now, while ask_pipeworx_grounded/deep_research and bet_research/polymarket_edges overlap heavily. Verbose descriptions help in isolation, but an agent must choose between many similar-looking research and prediction-market tools before it can act.

Naming Consistency2/5

Naming mixes bare verbs (remember, forget, subscribe), prefixed families (pipeworx_*, polymarket_*, stripe_*), and descriptive noun-style names (entity_profile, validate_claim) with no single verb_noun pattern. Each cluster is internally consistent, but the overall set is unpredictable.

Tool Count2/5

37 tools is excessive for a server named Stripe_connect, especially since only 6 tools are actually Stripe-related and the rest are a sprawling Pipeworx data-research and prediction-market stack. The count would be heavy even for the broad research domain, and it is a serious scope mismatch for the stated name.

Completeness1/5

For the Stripe domain implied by the server name, the surface is severely incomplete: it is read-only (get/list) with no way to create customers, take payments, issue refunds, update invoices, or manage subscription lifecycles. The non-Stripe research tools are broad, but that does not fill the payment workflow gap.
