Tool Definition Quality
Average 4.4/5 across 40 of 40 tools scored. Lowest: 2.3/5.
Several tools have overlapping purposes: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, and ask_pipeworx_grounded are near-duplicates, and the polymarket_* family has six tools with blurred boundaries. The Vimeo tools are distinct, but the massive unrelated Pipeworx set creates ambiguity about which tool is appropriate for a given task.
Tool names mix conventions: Vimeo tools use bare nouns (video, channel, user), while Pipeworx tools use verb_noun (resolve_entity, validate_claim) or noun_verb (ai_visibility_check). Some names like ask_pipeworx and pipeworx_feedback do not follow a consistent verb-first pattern.
40 tools is far too many for a Vimeo server; only 9 tools are Vimeo-related, and the remaining 31 are an unrelated Pipeworx data toolkit. This inflates the surface area and makes the set unwieldy.
The Vimeo surface covers read operations (search, get, list) but lacks any write operations like upload, update, or delete videos. It also misses common Vimeo features like comments, likes, or portfolio management, so common tasks would hit dead ends.
Available Tools
40 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, idempotentHint, etc. The description adds value by disclosing the default model (free), BYO key for Anthropic, and the return structure (per-model {score, confidence, signals, raw_response} + combined view). It also hints at cost implications for Anthropic calls. 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 two sentences long, front-loading the main purpose and return value. Every sentence provides essential information without redundancy. It is concise yet informative, earning its place with zero wasted 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?
With 4 parameters (1 required), 100% schema coverage, and no output schema, the description covers key aspects: return format, model options, optional context, and use cases. It lacks details on error handling or timeouts but is sufficient for a moderate-complexity tool. The mention of return structure compensates for missing 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 description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds context beyond the schema: it explains the entity scope ('business / brand / product / topic'), provides examples ('Pipeworx', 'OpenInvoice'), clarifies the default model behavior for the 'models' parameter, and explains the role of '_apiKey' and 'context'. This enriches parameter 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 the tool probes LLMs for knowledge about an entity and returns a visibility score (0-100). It specifies the verb (probe, score), resource (LLMs, business/brand/product/topic), and outcome (score per model). This distinguishes it from siblings like 'deep_research' or 'scan_competitor_ai_presence' by focusing on LLM knowledge scoring.
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: 'AI-marketing audits, pre-launch brand checks, competitive monitoring.' It also explains when to provide the optional _apiKey and models. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or compare it to alternatives, leaving some gaps for an agent to infer.
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 5,558 tools across 1461 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?
Beyond annotations (read-only, open-world, idempotent), the description discloses that the tool routes to other tools, fills arguments, returns citations, works on every tier, and handles news. It also clarifies that it's fast and the default starting point, adding meaningful 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 long but tightly packed with actionable information: purpose, usage scenarios, examples, and alternatives. It is front-loaded with 'PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH' and 'START HERE', and every sentence contributes 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 complex routing tool with no output schema, the description covers functionality, use cases, and distinctions from related tools. It also addresses performance and compatibility, making it comprehensive enough for an 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?
The input schema already documents all six parameters as aliases for the question, with 100% coverage. The description adds no parameter-level detail beyond restating that natural language queries are accepted, so 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 identifies the tool's function: routing user questions to 5,529 tools across verified sources and returning structured answers with citation URIs. It distinguishes itself from siblings like ask_pipeworx_grounded and deep_research by positioning itself as the default entry point.
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 prefer this tool over web search and lists specific domains (SEC filings, FDA data, etc.). It names alternatives (ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research) and specifies when to step up, providing clear usage boundaries.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
ask_pipeworx_betaAsk Pipeworx BetaARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Beta version of ask_pipeworx: identical universal router (same 5,558 tools, same arguments, same response shape) with candidate routing improvements enabled live whenever one is under test. No candidate is active right now (the last was retired on outcome evidence 2026-07-26), so this currently matches ask_pipeworx exactly. Use it exactly like ask_pipeworx when you want the newest routing; results are compared against the stable router to decide what merges. Falls back to nothing — this IS a full working router, just the experimental edge.
| 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?
Beyond annotations (read-only, idempotent), the description discloses the tool's beta nature, current state (no active candidate, matches ask_pipeworx exactly), and the fact that it is a full working router with no fallback. This adds significant context about the tool's behavior and potential variability, which annotations do not convey. 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 slightly verbose but each sentence contributes meaningful information: definition, current status, usage guidance, and a clarification that it is fully functional. The content is logically ordered and front-loaded with the core purpose. It could be trimmed slightly, but it earns its length.
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?
The tool is a complex router with no output schema, but the description explicitly ties it to ask_pipeworx's response shape and provides enough context about its experimental nature. It covers what, when, and how it behaves. Missing details like specific response format are mitigated by the explicit reference to the sibling's identical shape.
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 covers 100% of parameters with detailed descriptions, including aliases for the 'question' parameter. The description only says 'same arguments' as ask_pipeworx, which adds no new parameter-level meaning beyond what the schema provides. Hence, a baseline score of 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 identifies this as a beta version of ask_pipeworx, a universal router with 5,529 tools, and distinguishes it from the stable version by emphasizing it runs candidate routing improvements. It explicitly states what the tool does (routes questions to tools) and how it differs from its sibling ask_pipeworx.
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 explicit when-to-use guidance: 'Use it exactly like ask_pipeworx when you want the newest routing.' It names the alternative (ask_pipeworx) and clarifies the experimental context, including that results are compared to the stable router. This is more than enough for an agent to choose between the beta and stable versions.
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 5,558 across 1461 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?
Beyond the readOnly/idempotent annotations, the description discloses detailed behavior: extraction is limited to tool results, returns a structured object with evidence and refusal reasons, and includes specific refusal reasons like 'not_in_source' and 'data_truncated'. It also explains the extra LLM call cost. 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 but efficiently structured: it front-loads the core purpose, then explains the mechanism, return behavior, use cases, and cost trade-off. While it is a single long sentence, every clause contributes meaningful information, making it concise relative to its complexity.
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?
The description is remarkably complete for a tool with no output schema: it explicitly specifies the success return format, refusal reasons, and the extra call cost. It also covers routing behavior and appropriate use cases. No significant gaps remain for an agent to invoke this 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?
Schema coverage is 100% and all parameters are aliases for the natural-language question. The description adds context that the question is used for routing to tools and filling arguments, but does not provide additional parameter-level details beyond what the schema already states. 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 identifies the tool as a 'hallucination-resistant answer mode for high-stakes reads' with a specific verb-like purpose ('extracts the answer using ONLY what the tool result contains'). It distinguishes itself from the sibling ask_pipeworx by explicitly noting the same routing but grounded extraction, making its unique value unambiguous.
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 explicit when-to-use guidance: 'Use whenever an answer will be quoted, cited, or acted on' and lists high-stakes scenarios. Also gives a clear alternative: 'prefer ask_pipeworx for casual lookups' because of the extra LLM call cost. This fully addresses usage context and trade-offs.
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 goes far beyond annotations by detailing the resolver contract (confidence levels, alternatives, suggestions), parent event extractor, news fallback behavior, safety short-circuits, closed market handling, wide-spread warnings, and cancellation rules. 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-structured, front-loading the main purpose then elaborating. Every section adds necessary detail for a complex tool; however, it could be slightly trimmed 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?
Given the tool's complexity (3 params, no output schema), the description covers all critical aspects: input types, resolver contract, parent events, news handling, safety, and cancellation rules. It is complete and leaves no major gaps for an agent to misuse.
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%, so parameters are well-documented. The description adds value by explaining depth options (quick vs thorough), include_raw default and recommendation, and input resolution (slug, URL, question text), 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 it researches a Polymarket bet by pulling Pipeworx data, specifies inputs (slug, URL, question text), and outputs (evidence packet, market-vs-model comparison). It distinguishes from sibling tools like polymarket_arbitrage and polymarket_edges by focusing on single-bet 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?
Explicit use cases are provided: 'should I bet on X', 'what does the data say about Y', 'is there edge in Z'. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use or directly compare to alternatives, though the context implies it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare the tool safe, idempotent, and non-destructive. The description adds value by specifying it returns top-level categories only and that slugs are usable downstream.
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 concise sentence that clearly conveys the tool's purpose and provides relevant examples. No extraneous 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?
Given the tool has zero parameters and an output schema exists, the description sufficiently explains the scope (top-level categories) and use of slugs. No additional context is needed.
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 tool has zero parameters, so the description is not required to explain them. The baseline expectation of 4 is met.
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 that the tool returns the full list of top-level Vimeo content categories, provides examples (e.g. Animation, Comedy, Music), and notes the slugs' usability in the sibling tool 'category_videos'. This distinguishes it from category and category_videos.
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 the tool is for retrieving all top-level categories, but does not explicitly state when to use it vs alternatives like 'category' or 'category_videos'. However, the context is clear enough given the simplicity of the tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate read-only, non-destructive, and idempotent behavior. The description adds value by detailing the return fields (name, icon, subcategories, featured video count), which is not in annotations. 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?
Single sentence with no wasted words. Information is front-loaded and efficiently communicated.
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 fetch tool with one parameter and an output schema, the description covers the main aspects: input (slug), output fields (name, icon, subcategories, featured video count). Complete and sufficient.
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 0%, so the description carries the burden. It explains the 'slug' parameter is for identifying the category but does not provide additional constraints or format details. Adequate but minimal.
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 'Fetch metadata for a single Vimeo category by slug', specifying the verb, resource, and input method. It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'categories' (plural list) and 'category_videos' (videos in a category).
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 when you need metadata for one category, and the context of sibling tools (e.g., 'categories' for listing all) provides implicit guidance. However, it lacks explicit when-not-to-use or alternative tool instructions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already convey readOnly, openWorld, idempotent, and non-destructive hints. The description adds no behavioral context beyond the name, missing details on pagination, error handling, or what happens with invalid slugs.
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 phrase, which is too brief to be useful. It is under-specified rather than concise, missing opportunities to add value in few 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?
Given the tool has 3 parameters, an output schema, and siblings, the description is insufficient. It does not cover pagination, filtering, or return format, leaving the agent without enough 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?
The schema has 3 parameters (slug, page, per_page) with 0% description coverage. The description does not explain any parameter, even though slug is required. The agent must infer semantics from property names only.
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 'Videos in a category.' indicates the tool returns videos for a given category. However, it is vague and does not differentiate from sibling tools like 'category', 'channel_videos', or 'videos_search' that also return videos.
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?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool over alternatives, nor any exclusions or prerequisites. The agent receives no context for decision-making.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint, so the safety profile is clear. The description adds value by enumerating return fields (name, description, subscriber count, video count, privacy settings), which annotate the response beyond schema defaults.
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 sentence that front-loads the action and resource, then lists return types. Every word is informative, no 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?
For a simple fetch tool with annotations and an output schema (not shown), the description covers the core return fields. It lacks error handling or rate-limit info, but these are partially covered by annotations. The description is sufficiently complete for a low-complexity 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 description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It clarifies that the parameter accepts a numeric ID or a slug, which is meaningful but not exhaustive (e.g., no format constraints or slug pattern hints). An example is provided but parameter semantics remain minimal.
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 ('Fetch') and resource ('metadata for a Vimeo channel'), and clarifies input type ('numeric ID or slug'). It lists return fields (name, description, subscriber count, video count, privacy settings), distinguishing it from siblings like 'channel_videos' which focus on video lists.
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 fetching channel metadata but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives such as 'channel_videos' for video content or 'category' for hierarchical browsing. No when-not-to-use or prerequisite guidance is given.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

| per_page | No | Items per page |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and idempotentHint=true, which cover safety. The description adds 'returns video metadata array', which is useful but not critical. 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?
A single, well-structured sentence that front-loads the core action and resource, then adds key features. Every part earns its place with no 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?
Despite having an output schema, the description doesn't clarify pagination defaults or sorting semantics. For a tool with 5 parameters and zero schema descriptions, more detail would be helpful. However, the task is straightforward and the output schema mitigates some gaps.
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 has 5 parameters with 0% coverage in descriptions. The tool description only mentions 'supports pagination and sorting', giving no details on valid values for 'sort' (e.g., date, alphabetical) or 'direction' (asc/desc). An agent would need to infer or guess parameter behavior.
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 action (list), resource (videos in a Vimeo channel), identification method (channel ID or slug), and features (pagination, sorting, returns metadata array). It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like 'channel' or 'video'.
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 listing videos within a specific channel, but does not explicitly contrast with alternatives like 'videos_search' or state when not to use. However, the context is clear enough for an agent.
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 indicate safe, read-only, idempotent behavior. The description adds rich behavioral context: data sources (SEC EDGAR/XBRL for companies, FAERS for drugs), fiscal year handling, sorting by primary metric, and citation URIs. 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 efficiently front-loaded with example triggers. Every sentence adds distinct value without redundancy. Well-structured and immediately 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?
Given the tool's simplicity (2 params, no output schema), the description fully covers input semantics, data sources, behavior, and output format (paired data + URIs). No gaps remain for effective 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 already describes both parameters with enums and ranges (100% coverage). Description adds value by specifying expected formats (tickers/CIKs for company, names for drug) and clarifying the behavior of the 'type' parameter.
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 performs side-by-side comparison of 2-5 companies or drugs, with natural language examples. It specifies what data each type returns and differentiates from sequential single-pack 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 instructs to prefer this over sequential lookups when comparing entities. Provides clear criteria for choosing 'company' vs 'drug' and what data each provides.
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 1461 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 5,558 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).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| depth | No | How many facets to research in parallel: quick=3 (single hop), standard=5 (default; adds a gap-recovery hop that re-angles unanswered facets + a contradictions[] scan across findings), thorough=8 (paid; adds a full iterative hop that chases leads + recovers gaps, plus the contradictions[] scan). | |
| 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?
Despite strong annotations (readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint false), the description adds extensive behavioral context: account/paid-plan requirements, parallel facet routing, gaps[]/'never invented', hop fields and citation_uri fetchability, contradictions[] for standard/thorough, semantic excerpting, and latency expectations. No annotation 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?
Every sentence carries useful information with almost no fluff, but the text is a single dense paragraph and starts with account requirements rather than the core purpose, hurting scannability. Still, given the tool's complexity, the length is justified.
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 structure: findings packet with verbatim evidence, confidence, source, fetched_at, pipeworx:// citations, gaps[], contradictions[], hop field, and citation_uri. It also covers auth, cost, latency, and failure modes, leaving little ambiguity.
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 mostly reiterates depth behavior already present in the schema; it adds nuance (e.g., thorough paid plan, standard re-angles gaps) but does not materially redefine or enrich parameter meaning 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 names a specific verb and resource: 'Grounded multi-source research across Pipeworx's 1455 STRUCTURED data sources' in one call. It also distinguishes itself from ask_pipeworx and explicitly says 'this is NOT open-web search', making its unique role clear.
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 gives explicit when-to-use guidance ('Best for broad/multi-part questions over structured data'), when-not-to-use ('For a single lookup use ask_pipeworx'; for breaking/current news 'prefer ask_pipeworx'), and an alternative if not signed in. This is exemplary usage guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

| 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 read-only and non-destructive. Description adds useful info about returning full schemas and curated examples, making the tool's behavior clear.
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?
Concise paragraph, front-loaded with action, then examples. No fluff, though could be slightly shorter.
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 details what is returned (tools with schemas and examples). Sufficient for the tool's purpose.
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 describes all parameters with aliases and examples. Description reinforces that query is natural language and provides topic examples, adding value 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?
Clearly states it finds tools by describing data/task, and lists many example topics. However, does not explicitly differentiate from sibling search tools like 'search_within'.
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 'Call this FIRST' when many tools are available, guiding when to use it versus alternatives. Provides numerous example queries.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

"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 |
|---|---|---|---|

| 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 declare readOnlyHint=true, openWorldHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false. The description adds significant behavioral context beyond these: it explains the parallel fan-out across multiple external services, the soft-fail status of USPTO PatentsView API sunset, the fallback from GDELT to GNews, and the specific returned fields (cik, filings with URIs, fundamentals sorted by period_end descending, etc.). It does not contradict 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 somewhat lengthy (over 100 words) but packs substantial information into a dense paragraph. It front-loads with example queries and uses all-caps for key guidance ('ALWAYS PREFER'), which aids scanning. However, it could be more structured (e.g., bullet points for the returned data) to improve readability without losing 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?
Given the tool's complexity (aggregating data from multiple external sources) and the absence of an output schema, the description is remarkably complete. It enumerates every returned data point (cik, company_name, recent_filings with URI format, fundamentals with specific fields and sort order, patent sunset status, news fallback chain, LEI). It also explains the parallel execution optimization, making the information sufficient for an agent to understand what to expect.
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 both 'type' and 'value' having descriptions. The description adds meaning beyond the schema by specifying that 'type' currently only supports 'company', and that 'value' must be a ticker (e.g., 'AAPL') or zero-padded CIK (e.g., '0000320193'), explicitly disallowing names and directing to resolve_entity for that case. This is valuable usage context.
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's purpose: 'full cross-source profile of a US public company in ONE parallel call.' It provides numerous example queries and explicitly distinguishes from sibling tools by stating it should be preferred over chaining single-source lookups for holistic views. The verb 'profile' combined with specific resource mentions (SEC, XBRL, USPTO, news, GLEIF) and the cross-source scope makes the purpose unambiguous.
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 guidance on when to use this tool: 'ALWAYS PREFER over chaining single-pack SEC/XBRL/news lookups when the user asks for a holistic view.' It also clearly states when not to use it: 'names not supported (use resolve_entity first if you only have a name).' This gives the agent clear decision criteria and alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false. The description adds context about clearing 'sensitive data' and the idempotent nature is implied. No contradictions, and behavioral context is sufficient but not extensive.
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 concise sentences: first defines the action, second provides usage guidance. No superfluous words, efficient and clear.
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 param, no output schema), the description covers core functionality, usage context, and sibling relationships. Missing details on return values or errors, but adequate for a straightforward deletion 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% and the parameter 'key' is described in schema as 'Memory key to delete'. The tool description does not add additional parameter semantics beyond what schema provides, so baseline score of 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 action ('Delete a previously stored memory by key') and identifies the specific resource (memories). It distinguishes itself from siblings by mentioning pairing with remember and recall.
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?
Explicit usage conditions given: 'when context is stale, the task is done, or you want to clear sensitive data'. Also suggests pairing with siblings, providing clear guidance.

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint as false. The description adds that it fetches the page, extracts content, and emits markdown, but this is expected behavior. 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 two sentences: purpose first, then use cases. Every sentence is informative and concise, with no wasted 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?
Given no output schema, the description explains the output format (standard llms.txt markdown) and deployment location. Parameters are fully covered, and annotations provide safety guarantees. Complete for a simple 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?
Input schema covers 100% of parameters with descriptions. The description mentions URL and max_links implicitly but does not add semantics beyond what the schema provides. 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 explicitly states the tool generates a production-ready llms.txt file for any URL, targeting AI crawlers. It clearly identifies the action, resource, and context, and is distinct from sibling tools which focus on other domains like betting or 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?
The description lists specific use cases (getting a client's site indexed, drafting for own project, auditing competitors), providing clear guidance on when to use. However, it does not exclude scenarios or mention alternatives within the toolset.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint. Description adds value by specifying return fields and default behavior (active subscriptions only), which is not in 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. First sentence states purpose and output, second provides usage guidance. 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?
For a simple list tool with one optional parameter and no output schema, the description covers purpose, usage, and return fields adequately. Could mention pagination if applicable but not necessary.
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 optional parameter 'include_inactive'. Description does not mention the parameter, so no added meaning 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 lists the caller's active subscriptions and specifies the returned fields (id, type, params, etc.). It distinguishes from siblings like subscribe/unsubscribe by its listing action.

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). ONLY for tools served by this Pipeworx connection — if the tool came from a different MCP server in your client (another vendor's Gmail, Splunk, Slack, etc. connector), we cannot fix it and reporting it here only delays you; file it with that server instead. Not sure? Pipeworx tool names are the ones this connection lists. Describe the issue in terms of Pipeworx tools/packs — don't paste the end-user's prompt. Filing without an account returns a claim_token; pass it back later as pipeworx_feedback({claim_token:"pwfb_…"}) to read whether it was fixed and what changed. 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 | No | 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. | |

| claim_token | No | Read the reply to a report you filed earlier: pass the `pwfb_…` token that filing returned, with no other arguments. Returns the status and, once resolved, what actually changed. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Even though annotations exist (readOnlyHint=false, etc.), the description adds valuable behavioral context: rate limits (5 per identifier per day), claim_token mechanics for tracking reports, and that it's free and doesn't count against quota. These details go beyond what annotations provide and clarify what the user can expect.
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 every sentence earns its place, covering purpose, usage scenarios, exclusions, token mechanics, rate limits, and cost. It is front-loaded with the main action and structured to move from general guidance to specific examples. No fluff or 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?
The tool has no output schema, so the description carries the burden of explaining returns, which it does via the claim_token mechanism. It fully covers the tool's lifecycle: when to use, how to construct feedback, what the token means, and how to follow up. It also addresses common pitfalls like describing end-user prompts and using non-Pipeworx tools.
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 already provides 100% coverage with descriptions for all parameters, so the baseline is 3. The description adds extra semantics for claim_token specifically ('pass it back later as pipeworx_feedback({claim_token:"pwfb_…"})'), which is more than the schema provides. It also clarifies the message content guidance ('don't paste the end-user's prompt'), adding value 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 opening sentence clearly states the tool's function: 'Tell the Pipeworx team something is broken, missing, or needs to exist.' This is a specific verb-resource pairing that distinguishes it from sibling tools like ask_pipeworx, which is for asking questions rather than submitting feedback.
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 usage guidelines: 'Use when a tool returns wrong/stale data (bug)... feature/data_gap... praise' and specifies when not to use it ('if the tool came from a different MCP server... file it with that server instead'). It also gives a method for disambiguating Pipeworx tools by name.
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 read-only, idempotent, open-world. Description adds valuable context: data source (CF analytics-engine), no PII, caching behavior (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?
Four sentences, no wasted words. Front-loaded with purpose, then use cases, then technical details. Efficient and scannable.
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 tool (1 optional param, no output schema), the description covers purpose, use cases, data source, privacy, and caching. No gaps for agent decision-making.
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 parameter fully (100%). Description adds semantic guidance: 'Shorter windows surface what's hot right now; longer windows show steady-state demand.' Elevates 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?
Clearly states it returns top tools, packs, and call volume over a window. Distinct from siblings like 'discover_tools' or 'ask_pipeworx'.
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?
Lists three specific use cases (discovering hot data, confirming canonical choice, alignment check). Lacks explicit when-not-to-use or alternatives, but context is clear.
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
Find arbitrage opportunities on Polymarket via monotonicity violations + partition-sum checks. Call with NO args for a trending_scan of the top ~200 markets by weekly volume; pass event for the strongest per-event partition_check, or topic for a themed cross-event scan. 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?
Description goes far beyond annotations (which already indicate readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive). Adds detailed behavioral traits: Jaccard similarity filtering, partition placeholder filter, fill check against CLOB depth, and response structure. 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 long (over 250 words) and somewhat dense, but structured with sections for modes, semantic anchor, partition filter, and fill check. Could be more concise without losing key 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?
Despite no output schema, the description thoroughly explains the tool's logic, all filters, fallback conditions, and what to do when arbitrage is not realizable. Covers both operational and edge-case behavior.
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 parameter descriptions. Description adds meaningful context: examples of event slugs and topic queries, explains mode behavior differences, and provides usage recommendations. Value added 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 finds arbitrage opportunities via monotonicity violations and partition-sum checks. It distinguishes three modes (no args, event, topic) and differentiates from sibling tools like polymarket_edges and polymarket_fill_risk.
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 explicit guidance on when to use each mode (e.g., 'event (recommended for a specific market)', 'topic (for cross-event scanning)'). Includes examples and mentions when not to trade (realizable_edge_pp ≤ 0). Lacks explicit when-not-to-use scenarios but is otherwise strong.
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?
The description explains model families, response segments, diagnostics, caching, and tradeable-edge knobs in detail. It does not contradict annotations (readOnlyHint, etc.) and adds significant behavioral context beyond them.
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 very long and detailed, including low-level technical specifics. While comprehensive, it lacks conciseness and could be better structured for quick agent scanning.
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 (9 parameters, no output schema), the description covers all essential behaviors, segments, diagnostics, and edge cases (e.g., Fed note, caching). It is thorough and self-contained.
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. The description adds general context about some parameters (e.g., tradeable-edge knobs) but does not systematically enhance each parameter's meaning 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 it scans Polymarket markets for opportunities where Pipeworx data disagrees with market price. It distinguishes from siblings like polymarket_arbitrage and polymarket_edge_tracker by specifying its purpose and output structure.
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 context ('Built for 'what should I bet on today'') but lacks explicit when-not-to-use guidance or alternative tools. It mentions Fed bets surface separately but doesn't contrast with sibling tools.
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?
The description extensively documents behavior beyond annotations (readOnly, idempotent, not destructive), including data sources (daily snapshots), response structure (tracked, expired, snapshot_dates), limits (60-day TTL, data gaps), and interpretation of decay numbers.
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 a clear purpose at the start, followed by precise details on response and limits. Every sentence adds value, though slight wordiness could be trimmed.
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 two parameters and no output schema, the description fully explains the response format (tracked, expired, snapshot_dates arrays), field meanings, and data limitations, making it sufficient for correct tool usage.
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 description adds default values (14 days, '1wk') and constraints (clamp 2-30) but the input schema already includes these details, so minimal additional value beyond 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?
The description clearly states the tool provides 'edge persistence and decay telemetry' and answers when an edge has existed and if it's shrinking, distinguishing it from sibling tools like polymarket_edges which likely give current edges.
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 (e.g., 'a fresh wide edge and a 3-week-old wide edge are different trades') but does not explicitly list alternatives or when not to use.
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 declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint false. Description adds behavioral context: walks the ladder, returns verdict, warns about dominant loss mode. No contradiction; adds significant value 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?
Description is lengthy but well-organized with clear sections for modes and usage. Every sentence adds value. Slightly verbose but still effective for an AI agent.
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, yet description fully explains return fields for both modes (top_of_book, vwap_fill_price, verdict, etc.). Covers both single-market and basket, including warnings about unhedged positions. Complete given complexity.
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 default side for basket (auto), clarifies size_usd interpretation per mode, and states requirement for market or event (mutually exclusive). Provides context 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?
Clearly states it performs a 'realizable-vs-theoretical edge check against live CLOB order-book depth'. Differentiates between single-market and basket modes, each with specific outputs. Distinguishes from siblings by directing usage before acting on polymarket_arbitrage or polymarket_edges signals.
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 THIS before acting on any polymarket_arbitrage SELL/BUY-EVERY-LEG signal or any polymarket_edges trade above ~$500'. Explains when and why: theoretical overround on thin books is not capturable, and partial fills create directional risk. Provides clear conditions for use and alternatives.
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?
Beyond annotations (readOnlyHint, etc.), the description extensively discloses behavior: compatibility_warning conditions, temporal alignment checks, skipped leg causes, and the expectation that pre-mapped topics often yield warnings. This exceeds annotation-based transparency.
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 labeled sections (TWO MODES, RESPONSE, SAFETY FIELDS). Every sentence contributes useful information. Minor verbosity could be trimmed but overall efficient for the complexity.
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 is provided, but the description covers response structure (leg prices, spread, safety fields) and edge cases (misaligned events, incompatible bet shapes). This fully compensates for the lack of an output schema, making the tool self-contained.
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 each parameter. The description adds value by explaining the two modes and how they interact (e.g., explicit overrides topic). With full schema coverage, the baseline is 3; the added context justifies a 4.
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 purpose: cross-venue spread between Kalshi and Polymarket for the same resolving question. It distinguishes from sibling tools like polymarket_arbitrage by focusing on cross-venue comparison, not single-venue arbitrage.
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 two modes (topic shortcuts and explicit pairing) and warns that most pre-mapped topics return compatibility warnings, guiding when to expect meaningful spreads. It does not explicitly compare with sibling tools but provides adequate usage context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

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 describes when to use (look up stored context) and provides examples; lacks an explicit when-not-to-use statement but is clear overall.
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?
The annotation declares readOnlyHint=true, but the description explicitly states that setting mark_read:true will flag events as read, which is a state mutation. This contradicts the readOnlyHint and undermines the accuracy of the tool definition. The description is otherwise transparent about the mark_read behavior, but the contradiction is critical.
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 concise at three sentences, front-loaded with the primary purpose, and every sentence provides valuable information. No unnecessary words or 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?
For a read-only list tool with 5 parameters fully documented in the schema, the description covers all key aspects: what is returned, filtering options, mark_read side effect, and alternative access method. It is complete for an agent to understand 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%, and the description adds concrete usage examples (e.g., filter by type 'sec_8k') and explains the behavioral effect of mark_read. It does not mention the limit parameter, but the schema already covers it. Overall, it adds meaningful context 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 'Pull fired events from your subscription feed' specifying the verb and resource. It details the returned data and filtering options, distinguishing it from sibling tools like 'list_subscriptions' or 'recall' by focusing on alert events from a feed.
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 clear usage context: it mentions polling is fine, gives an alternative HTTP endpoint, and explains how to use mark_read to manage read state. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or name alternatives among siblings, though the context is sufficient for typical use.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
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. | |
| value | Yes | Ticker (e.g., "AAPL") or zero-padded CIK (e.g., "0000320193"). |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Adds significant behavioral details beyond annotations: describes fallback logic (GDELT→GNews), USPTO soft-fail, return structure (changes[] grouped by source, total_changes, citation URIs). 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 dense paragraph that front-loads the purpose but could be more structured (e.g., bullet points). Every sentence adds value, but length could be reduced slightly.
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 no output schema, the description fully explains the return format and error handling (fallbacks, soft-fail). Covers all major aspects given the tool's complexity.
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% and description adds value by explaining each parameter with examples (relative date shorthand, ticker vs CIK, typical monitoring value).
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 returns a change feed for a company in a time window, listing specific sources (SEC EDGAR, GDELT→GNews, USPTO). It distinguishes from sister tool entity_profile, which is for static profiles.
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 explicit context on when to use this tool (for dynamic changes) and names the alternative entity_profile for static profiles. Lacks explicit 'when not to use' cases beyond that.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
rememberRememberAIdempotentInspect
Save data the agent will need to reuse later — across this conversation or across sessions. Use when you discover something worth carrying forward (a resolved ticker, a target address, a user preference, a research subject) so you don't have to look it up again. Stored as a key-value pair scoped by your identifier. Authenticated users get persistent memory; anonymous sessions retain memory for 24 hours. Pair with recall to retrieve later, forget to delete.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| key | Yes | Memory key (e.g., "subject_property", "target_ticker", "user_preference") | |
| value | Yes | Value to store (any text — findings, addresses, preferences, notes) |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations indicate idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false. The description adds meaningful context: memory is key-value and scoped by identifier, persistence differs by authentication (session vs 24 hours). 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 concise (4 sentences) and front-loaded with the core purpose. Every sentence contributes without redundancy or fluff.
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 (2 params, no output schema), the description sufficiently covers purpose, usage, behavior, and sibling relationships. It lacks mention of error cases or limits, but these are not critical for basic understanding.
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% with descriptions for both 'key' and 'value'. The description adds extra context (scope by identifier, example key names) beyond the schema, providing additional clarity.
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: 'Save data the agent will need to reuse later.' It specifies the verb (save), resource (data/memory), and distinguishes itself from sibling tools 'recall' and 'forget' by explicitly mentioning their pairing.
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 advises when to use the tool ('when you discover something worth carrying forward') and why ('so you don't have to look it up again'). It pairs with 'recall' and 'forget', implying usage context. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or alternatives beyond siblings.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
resolve_entityResolve EntityARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
"What's the ticker for…" / "find the CIK for…" / "what's the LEI for…" / "what's the RxCUI for…" / "look up the ID for…" / "what is X's official identifier" / "who owns X" / "is X a subsidiary of Y" — resolve a user-spoken NAME to the canonical/official identifiers other tools require as input. Use FIRST whenever you have a name but need an ID. SUPPORTED TYPES: "company" (cross-source identity spine: 10-digit CIK + ticker + company_name from SEC EDGAR, legal-entity LEI from GLEIF with parent/ultimate-parent/children ownership when the LEI resolves, and security FIGI from OpenFIGI when a ticker is implied; every identifier is labelled with the source that established it, and an identifier that could NOT be resolved is stated explicitly under unresolved rather than omitted — accepts ticker, CIK, ISIN, or company name as input; an ISIN like "CH0038863350" resolves to the LEGAL ENTITY that issued the security via the GLEIF ISIN-to-LEI mapping, covering non-US issuers EDGAR cannot reach), "drug" (returns RxCUI + ingredient + brand from RxNorm + pipeworx://rxnorm/concept/{rxcui} citation; accepts brand or generic name). LEI/FIGI enrichment degrades gracefully — if GLEIF or OpenFIGI is unavailable, the EDGAR identifiers still return. 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 annotations (read-only, idempotent), the description adds rich behavioral detail: cross-source enrichment via SEC EDGAR, GLEIF, OpenFIGI; explicit labeling of sources; stating unresolved identifiers under 'unresolved'; graceful degradation if GLEIF/OpenFIGI are unavailable; cascading through multiple endpoints. This fully informs the agent of expected behavior and failure modes.
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 lengthy but each sentence adds value: it begins with relatable example queries, states the core purpose, then details supported types and behavior. It is front-loaded with the main directive. The verbosity is justified by the tool's complexity, though it could be slightly tighter.
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 (two entity types, multiple data sources, fallback behavior), the description is exceptionally complete. It covers inputs, outputs (though no output schema exists), internal cascading, degradation, and even notes the tool replaces 2-3 manual lookups. No important aspect is left unaddressed.
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 greatly enriches parameter meaning by explaining what each entity type returns (e.g., for company: CIK, ticker, company_name, LEI with ownership, FIGI; for drug: RxCUI, ingredient, brand, citation). It also clarifies accepted input formats for 'value' beyond schema examples, such as 'ticker (AAPL), CIK (0000320193), or name' and 'brand or generic name.'
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 resolves names to canonical identifiers, with specific examples of user queries and explicit mention of entity types (company, drug). It distinguishes itself from siblings by emphasizing it provides identifiers other tools require as input, citing 'Use FIRST whenever you have a name but need an ID.'
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 explicit usage guidance: 'Use FIRST whenever you have a name but need an ID' and illustrates with example queries. It does not explicitly state when not to use it (e.g., when you already have an ID), but the context makes the appropriate use case clear.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
scan_competitor_ai_presenceScan Competitor AI PresenceARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Compare AI visibility across multiple entities side-by-side. Probes each entity (your brand + N competitors) with ai_visibility_check, ranks by score, surfaces which is most/least recognized. Useful for competitive AI-marketing audits: "does Claude know about us as well as our competitors?". Returns ranked list with score, confidence, signal density per entity.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 — only if "anthropic" is in models. Passed to api.anthropic.com per probe. | |
| context | No | Optional shared context applied to every probe (e.g. "B2B SaaS", "Boston restaurant"). Disambiguates common names. | |
| entities | Yes | Array of 2-8 entities to compare (brand/business/product names). First entry treated as the "subject" for narrative; rest are competitors. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate readOnly, idempotent, and non-destructive behavior. The description adds value by explaining the process (probing each entity, ranking, surfacing most/least recognized) and the output structure (score, confidence, signal density). 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 concise (6 sentences), front-loaded with the primary action, and every sentence adds information. There is no redundancy or unnecessary detail.
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 no output schema, the description adequately explains the output format (ranked list with score, confidence, signal density) and the process. The tool is moderately complex with 4 parameters; the description covers key aspects. Missing details like max entities or error handling would push it to 5.
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%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds meaningful context: 'First entry treated as the subject for narrative' for entities, details on model support, and the purpose of the context parameter. This is above baseline but not exceptional.
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 compares AI visibility across multiple entities side-by-side, uses a specific verb ('compare'), and distinguishes itself from sibling tools like 'ai_visibility_check' which likely handles single entities. It also provides a concrete use case ('competitive AI-marketing audits').
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 the tool is useful for competitive audits and implies it should be used when comparing multiple entities. While it does not explicitly state when not to use it, the contrast with sibling 'ai_visibility_check' provides context. A slightly higher score would require explicit exclusion cases.
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?
Beyond annotations (readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, etc.), the description discloses key behavioral traits: partial failures degrade gracefully, bundlephobia's first measurement can take 5-30s and may time out, and sources_failed lists any failed sources. This provides rich behavioral context beyond what annotations already provide.
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 moderately concise at five sentences. Each sentence adds value, but the first sentence is quite long with parenthetical details. The most critical information (composite nature, use case) is front-loaded. Slightly more brevity could improve it, but it is not overly verbose.
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 composite tool with no output schema, the description fully covers purpose, usage guidelines, behavioral traits, parameters, output format (summary block with specific fields), and limitations (NPM only, timing). It also addresses edge cases like partial failures and scoped packages, making it 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 coverage is 100% (both parameters described). The description adds meaning by listing the return summary fields (is_latest, license, advisory_count, bundle sizes, etc.), explaining version defaults to latest, and clarifying scoped packages are accepted. This goes beyond the 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 identifies the tool as a composite check for npm packages, combining deps.dev and bundlephobia data. It specifies the exact resources checked (license, advisories, version history, bundle size, etc.) and distinguishes it from sibling tools by being a one-call composite solution. The verb 'scan' and resource 'dependency' are well-defined.
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: when an agent asks about safety, popularity, size, or cost of adding an npm package. It also provides clear limitations (NPM only in v1, other ecosystems use deps.dev:version directly), giving agents guidance on when not to use it and what alternatives exist.
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 read-only, idempotent, non-destructive. Description adds algorithmic details (BGE-base-en, cosine, 500-char windows), a 200K char cap with truncation flag, and guarantees that offsets enable verification. This exceeds annotation info but does not fully describe return format (e.g., structure of passages).
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?
Single well-organized paragraph: purpose, mechanics, use case, sibling relationship, technical details. Every sentence adds value with no redundancy. Very concise for the amount of information conveyed.
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 all essential aspects: what, how, when, limitations (cap, truncation), verification (offsets), and relationship to sibling tool. Despite missing output schema, the description adequately describes return format. No gaps given the tool's complexity.
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 good descriptions. The description provides minor extra context (e.g., examples for query, text as 'already pulled') but does not significantly enhance parameter understanding 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 tool performs semantic search inside a fetched record, specifying inputs (text + query) and outputs (passages with offsets and scores). It distinguishes from siblings like ask_pipeworx_grounded by positioning itself as a tool for searching within an already-fetched document.
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 tells when to use: 'Use when the record is too big to cram into the prompt.' Also provides an alternative workflow: pairing with ask_pipeworx_grounded for grounding. This helps the agent decide between sibling tools.
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?
Adds extensive behavioral context beyond annotations: OAuth requirement, type-specific parameters, delivery channel details (SMS cap, webhook signing secret once, auto-disable after 10 failures). 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 dense but relatively concise given the detail. Front-loaded with main purpose. Could be slightly better structured (e.g., bullet points), but each 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?
Given complexity (3 params, nested objects, no output schema), description covers return value, requirements, all types, parameters, delivery options, and edge cases (SMS verification, webhook secret). 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 coverage is 100%, and description adds rich meaning for each parameter, especially the type-specific 'params' object with detailed examples and codes (e.g., sec_8k items, polymarket_edge topic).
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 'Create a proactive monitoring subscription to a live-data event stream' with specific verb and resource, and distinguishes from siblings like 'unsubscribe' and 'list_subscriptions'. Also mentions returns subscription id.
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 explicit requirements (OAuth account, no anonymous/BYO), lists supported types with examples, and describes delivery channels. Lacks explicit comparison to sibling tools, but 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.
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 |

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. The description does not contradict these and adds behavioral context: it returns category-bucketed example questions with tool + argument shapes drawn from a live catalog. No hidden behaviors are implied.
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, starting with alternative user phrasings. While every sentence adds value, it could be tightened without losing meaning. Still, it is well-structured and front-loaded with 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?
Given no output schema, the description fully explains the return format (category-bucketed example questions with tool calls). It covers purpose, arguments, and usage context, leaving no important gaps for a tool of this complexity.
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 optional parameter 'topic'. The description adds significant value by listing example values (finance, pharma, etc.) and explaining the effect of omitting the parameter (full spread). This goes well beyond the schema's brief 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 an onboarding entry point that returns category-bucketed example questions. It explicitly distinguishes itself from sibling tools like ask_pipeworx and entity_profile by positioning itself as the first call to understand what Pipeworx can do.
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 when-to-use guidance: 'Use this FIRST when you do not yet know what Pipeworx can do for you, or to learn how to call the meta-tools.' It also explains how to call with or without the topic argument, covering usage scenarios.
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?
Discloses non-destructive behavior beyond annotations: 'The row is deactivated (not deleted) so its historical events stay available via recent_alerts.' Annotations only give destructiveHint=false, so description adds key 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?
Two sentences, front-loaded with purpose, zero waste. Every sentence adds value: ownership and deactivation detail.
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 single-parameter tool, description is complete: covers ownership constraint, side effects (deactivation, not deletion), and historical data availability.
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% and description adds 'by id' which aligns with schema's 'Subscription id (uuid) returned by subscribe.' No additional parameter 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?
Clear verb+resource: 'Cancel a subscription by id.' Explicitly distinguishes from siblings like 'subscribe' and 'list_subscriptions' by specifying cancellation action.
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 explicit constraint: 'Ownership is enforced — you can only cancel your own subscriptions.' Guides appropriate use, though no mention of alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
userUserARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Fetch a Vimeo user's public profile by user_id or vanity URL name; returns display name, bio, location, follower/following counts, and upload quota.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| user_id | Yes |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| bio | No | User biography |
| uri | No | User URI |
| link | No | Profile link |
| name | No | User name |
| account | No | Account type |
| location | No | User location |
| metadata | No | Additional metadata |
| pictures | No | Profile picture data |
| websites | No | Associated websites |
| created_time | No | Account creation timestamp |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, etc. The description adds value by listing the returned fields (display name, bio, location, etc.), which complements the safety profile.
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?
Single sentence front-loads the action and result, with no extraneous 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?
Given the simple tool with one parameter and an output schema, the description covers purpose, input, and output fields; lacks error handling details but is adequate.
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 description clarifies that the single parameter can be a user_id or vanity URL, adding meaning beyond the empty schema description, compensating for 0% 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?
The description clearly states the verb 'Fetch', resource 'Vimeo user's public profile', and scope 'by user_id or vanity URL name', distinguishing it from sibling tools like user_videos.
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 context (by user_id or vanity URL) but lacks explicit guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives such as user_videos.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
user_videosUser VideosARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
List videos uploaded by a Vimeo user (user_id); supports pagination (page, per_page) and sorting; returns video metadata array.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| page | No | ||
| sort | No | ||
| user_id | Yes | ||
| per_page | No | ||
| direction | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| data | No | Array of user videos |
| page | No | Current page |
| total | No | Total videos by user |
| paging | No | Pagination links |
| per_page | No | Items per page |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already convey read-only, non-destructive behavior. The description adds that pagination (page, per_page) and sorting options are supported, and that the return is a 'video metadata array'. This provides useful behavioral detail beyond the annotations, though additional info like rate limits or default sort order could enhance clarity.
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, front-loaded sentence of 16 words. Every element (list videos, user_id, pagination, sorting, return type) contributes directly to understanding the tool's function without 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?
The description covers the core behavior (list by user, pagination, sorting, return type). Since an output schema exists, detailing exact return fields is unnecessary. However, it could be more complete by mentioning default sort order, maximum pagination values, or potential error conditions. Overall, it meets the needs for a straightforward read operation.
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 0% schema description coverage, the description must compensate. It mentions 'user_id' explicitly and implies 'page', 'per_page', 'sort', and 'direction' through 'supports pagination and sorting'. However, it does not explain their formats, defaults, or constraints, leaving some ambiguity.
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 specifies the verb 'list', the resource 'videos uploaded by a Vimeo user', and includes the key identifier 'user_id'. It distinguishes from siblings like 'video' (singular) and 'videos_search' (search across users) by focusing on a specific user's uploads.
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 context (list videos for a specific user) but does not explicitly state when to use or not use this tool versus alternatives like 'videos_search' or 'channel_videos'. No exclusions or prerequisites are provided.
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. Company-financial claims (revenue, net income, cash for public US companies) verify via the structured SEC EDGAR + XBRL fast path with exact percent-delta math; ANY OTHER factual claim (macro statistics, rates, prices, drug data, records) automatically falls through to the grounded pipeline — routed to the right live source, answered with verbatim evidence, then judged. Returns a verdict (confirmed / approximately_correct / refuted / inconclusive / unsupported / could_not_verify), the grounded or structured actual value with pipeworx:// citation, and reasoning. IMPORTANT for callers: could_not_verify means the check did not happen (our LLM or source failed) and carries verification_error{stage,detail} — it is NOT evidence for or against the claim, and must not be shown as one. unsupported means we looked and cover no source for it. Replaces 4–6 sequential calls (NL parsing → entity resolution → data lookup → 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". | |
| tolerance_pct | No | Max percent deviation still graded approximately_correct (0.5–50). Overrides the tolerance implied by the claim wording — set 1–2 for hallucination detection where any material error must be refuted. Default: implied by wording, capped at 5. |
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 substantial context beyond these: it explains the two pipelines (SEC EDGAR + XBRL fast path vs grounded pipeline), the verdict enum, and crucially clarifies the semantics of could_not_verify vs unsupported, warning that could_not_verify must not be treated as evidence. This is rich behavioral disclosure with 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 longer than average but every sentence earns its place: trigger phrases, use case, routing logic, return values, and an important caller warning. It is front-loaded with the purpose and ends with a critical caveat. A minor deduction for density; it could be broken into a few shorter sentences, but there is no waste.
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 complexity (two pipelines, nuanced verdicts) and lack of an output schema, the description covers all necessary aspects: what it does, when to use, how it routes, what it returns, and especially the critical distinction between could_not_verify and unsupported. It also notes the efficiency gain (replaces 4–6 sequential calls), which helps contextualize 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 coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds meaningful guidance beyond the schema: it explains tolerance_pct's default (implied by wording, capped at 5), provides a practical use case (set 1–2 for hallucination detection), and gives concrete claim examples for the claim parameter. This exceeds baseline.
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 a specific verb+resource: natural-language claim verification against authoritative sources. It distinguishes itself with trigger phrases and a clear directive ('Use whenever the agent needs to check whether something a user said is factually correct'), and even details two distinct processing paths (SEC EDGAR for financial claims, grounded pipeline for anything else), which sets it apart from sibling tools like 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?
Provides explicit when-to-use instructions: 'Use whenever the agent needs to check whether something a user said is factually correct' and includes a list of natural-language triggers. It also explains the routing behavior for financial vs other claims. However, it does not name alternatives or explicitly state when-not-to-use, so it falls just 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.

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint, destructiveHint. Description adds specifics on returned fields (title, duration, etc.), providing moderate additional context without contradicting 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?
Single sentence that front-loads purpose and efficiently conveys key information with no wasted 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?
Given single parameter, rich annotations, and presence of output schema, the description sufficiently covers the tool's behavior and return values, leaving no critical gaps.
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 has 0% description coverage. Description mentions 'numeric or string ID' and provides an example, adding some meaning beyond schema, but does not fully explain constraints or format, so baseline is 3.
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 'Fetch metadata for a single Vimeo video by numeric or string ID', specifying verb, resource, and method. It differentiates from siblings that deal with lists or other entities by focusing on a single video retrieval and listing return 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 implies usage for fetching a single video by ID, and siblings include search and list tools, but no explicit guidance on when not to use or alternatives is provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
videos_searchVideos SearchARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Search the Vimeo video library through the Vimeo API (api.vimeo.com/videos) with a free-text query, plus page, per_page, sort, direction, and filter parameters, authenticated with a Vimeo access token. Returns matching Vimeo videos with title, description, duration, link and embed URLs, owner, and play statistics. Answers which videos hosted on Vimeo match a subject, title, or creator name.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already establish read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive behavior. The description adds valuable context by disclosing the authentication requirement ('authenticated with a Vimeo access token') and summarizing the response contents (title, duration, URLs, owner, play statistics), which goes beyond what annotations provide.
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 compact and front-loaded, with the core action and resource in the first sentence. Each subsequent sentence adds distinct information (parameters/auth, return fields, use case), and there is no redundant or filler text.
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 6-parameter schema, strong annotations, and an output schema, the description covers the essential aspects: purpose, auth, key parameter names, and returned data. It is slightly incomplete in explaining parameter value constraints, but overall it provides enough context for an agent to select and invoke the 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 description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate for the 6 parameters. It names the parameters (page, per_page, sort, direction, filter) and clarifies that query is free-text, but it does not explain allowed values, semantics of sort/filter/direction, or effects of pagination parameters. This is only minimal compensation.
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 identifies the tool as a free-text search over the Vimeo video library via api.vimeo.com/videos, with a specific verb ('Search') and resource ('Vimeo video library'). It also distinguishes itself from sibling tools like video, user_videos, or category_videos by emphasizing a library-wide subject/title/creator search.
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 states the intended use case: 'Answers which videos hosted on Vimeo match a subject, title, or creator name.' This provides clear context for when to use the tool, though it does not explicitly mention alternative tools or exclusionary guidance, 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.
