Scan Competitor AI Presence

scan_competitor_ai_presence
Read-onlyIdempotent

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.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
modelsNoWhich models to probe. Supported: "workers-ai" (free default), "anthropic" (requires _apiKey). Omit for just workers-ai.
_apiKeyNoOptional Anthropic API key — only if "anthropic" is in models. Passed to api.anthropic.com per probe.
contextNoOptional shared context applied to every probe (e.g. "B2B SaaS", "Boston restaurant"). Disambiguates common names.
entitiesYesArray of 2-8 entities to compare (brand/business/product names). First entry treated as the "subject" for narrative; rest are competitors.

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already indicate read-only, idempotent, non-destructive behavior. Description adds valuable context: it probes each entity with another tool, returns score/confidence/signal density, and mentions that using Anthropic requires an API key. 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.

Conciseness5/5

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

Two sentences plus a clarifying example; front-loaded with purpose. Every sentence adds value; no redundant or unnecessary text.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Covers purpose, parameters, return structure (ranked list with score, confidence, signal density), and integrates annotations. Lacks mention of error handling or rate limits, but these are not critical for this tool's usage given its read-only nature.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema description coverage is 100%. The description adds meaning by noting that the first entity is treated as the 'subject' for narrative and rest as competitors, which goes beyond schema. Also explains the relationship between models and _apiKey.

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

Purpose5/5

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

Description clearly states it compares AI visibility across multiple entities side-by-side, specifying it probes each with ai_visibility_check and returns ranked results. This distinguishes it from siblings like ai_visibility_check (single entity) and compare_entities (likely different comparison).

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Explicitly states use case: 'competitive AI-marketing audits' and provides an example question. It doesn't explicitly say when not to use or list alternatives, but the context is sufficient for an agent to understand appropriate usage.

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

A3.8/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

The server packs in three near-identical question-answering entry points (ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta which explicitly states it 'currently matches ask_pipeworx exactly', and ask_pipeworx_grounded), plus overlapping research tools like deep_research and validate_claim — an agent can easily misroute. The Watchmode cluster also blurs title_search vs list_titles and list_titles vs releases. The very detailed descriptions save it from a 1, but the ask_pipeworx_beta duplicate is a genuine selection hazard.

Naming Consistency4/5

Everything is snake_case and the clusters follow good prefixes — title_detail/title_search/title_seasons/title_sources, polymarket_edges/polymarket_arbitrage/polymarket_fill_risk, ask_pipeworx/ask_pipeworx_beta/ask_pipeworx_grounded. Minor inconsistency: scan_competitor_ai_presence and ai_visibility_check are sibling tools but don't share a naming pattern, and the pipeworx_*/ask_pipeworx*/plain-noun (genres, sources, regions) mix is slightly uneven. Still readable and mostly predictable.

Tool Count2/5

41 tools is heavy, but the real problem is scope: only ~10 of them are Watchmode streaming tools, while the rest are a Pipeworx data-router suite, a Polymarket/Kalshi prediction-market suite, memory, subscriptions, npm scanning, and llms.txt generation. This isn't a focused Watchmode server — it's three or four unrelated product surfaces bolted together under one name. Any single coherent feature area would justify closer to 10-15 tools.

Completeness3/5

The Watchmode core is actually well covered for a read-only catalog: search, detail, seasons/episodes, source availability, releases, and directory tools (genres/regions/networks/sources) make a complete browse-to-detail flow. But the overall surface is unfocused — AI visibility, npm deps, and llms.txt have nothing to do with the apparent purpose — and several tools are gated (deep_research needs an account, ask_pipeworx_grounded costs extra, ai_visibility_check needs a BYO key), leaving dead ends for anonymous agents.
