Discover Tools

discover_tools
Read-onlyIdempotent

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).

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover readOnly, idempotent, and non-destructive. The description adds meaningful behavioral context: returns top-N relevant tools with names, descriptions, and full input schemas, ready to call directly with no second lookup. This clarifies the output and interaction model beyond the annotations.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is three sentences, each earning its place: purpose, usage context, and return format. The domain list is long but useful for scoping. No redundant or vague language; structure front-loads the core purpose.

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?

As a discovery tool without an output schema, the description adequately explains the return value (top-N relevant tools, schemas included), the intended first-call usage, and the scope. It gives enough information for an agent to invoke it correctly and know what to expect.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description reinforces that query is a natural language description but does not add new parameter meaning beyond the schema's own thorough descriptions (including aliases). No additional semantics are provided, so the score stays at baseline.

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 the tool's purpose: 'Find tools by describing the data or task.' It specifies a distinct verb (find/discover) and resource (tools), and differentiates itself from siblings by positioning itself as a first-stop discovery tool, not a specific data lookup. The list of domains further clarifies scope.

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 explicitly says when to use it ('Use when you need to browse, search, look up, or discover what tools exist') and advises calling it FIRST when many tools are available. It implies alternatives (the specific tools), but doesn't explicitly state when not to use it, so it falls short of a 5.

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

A3.8/5.0
Disambiguation3/5

Most tools have clearly distinct jobs, but ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, ask_pipeworx_grounded, and deep_research are overlapping query/research entry points—and ask_pipeworx_beta is currently identical to ask_pipeworx. Similarly, ai_visibility_check and scan_competitor_ai_presence overlap by composition. The descriptions are detailed enough to choose correctly with care, but the boundaries are not always crisp.

Naming Consistency3/5

All names use lowercase snake_case, which keeps the surface readable, but the naming conventions are mixed: some are imperative verbs (get_tle, list_recent, validate_claim), some are noun phrases (entity_profile, recent_alerts, pipeworx_trending), and several use domain prefixes without a clear verb (polymarket_arbitrage, polymarket_edges). This is still discoverable naming, but it does not follow a consistent verb_noun pattern.

Tool Count2/5

34 tools is well beyond the well-scoped range, and the vast majority belong to a broad Pipeworx research/prediction-market platform rather than the server's apparent 'tle' satellite theme. Only get_tle, list_recent, and search_satellites directly match the server name. It feels like several tool surfaces aggregated into one server rather than one coherent product.

Completeness3/5

For the satellite TLE theme, NORAD lookup, name search, and recent-catalog listing are covered, but orbit propagation, pass prediction, and historical TLE data are missing. For the broader data-research surface, coverage is rich—query, grounded answers, entity resolution, comparison, validation, subscriptions, and memory are all present—so agents have workable paths for most tasks, but the server's mixed scope creates obvious thematic gaps.
