Explicitly advises when to use each mode: 'Call with NO args for a trending_scan', 'event (recommended for a specific market)', 'topic (for cross-event scanning)'. It explains the benefits of cross-event mode and even recommends another tool (polymarket_fill_risk) for custom sizing, providing clear usage guidance.

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

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

Annotations already provide readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint, destructiveHint=false. The description adds extensive behavioral details: caching (1h KV keyed on knobs), edge calculation methodology, Kelly sizing, slippage assumptions, Fed bet exclusion, and response structure including diagnostics. 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 very thorough but verbose, with dense technical details covering methodology, caching, and diagnostics. It front-loads the purpose but then expands into lengthy explanations. Could be more concise while retaining key points.

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 9 parameters, no output schema, and complex return structure, the description fully documents the response format (by_segment, diagnostics, Fed bets), tradeable-edge knobs, caching behavior, and methodological details for each segment. Nothing critical is missing.

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 individual parameter descriptions. The description adds value by explaining how knobs interact (e.g., min_liquidity/max_spread_pp drop opportunities, min_partition_leg_kelly for partitions) and the context behind defaults (e.g., slippage_pp default rationale). This goes beyond the schema's isolated 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?

The description clearly states the tool scans Polymarket markets for opportunities where Pipeworx data disagrees with market price, with a specific verb ('scan') and resource ('Polymarket markets'). It distinguishes from siblings by detailing three segments (model-driven, structural arbitrage, concentrated longshot) not found in tool names like 'polymarket_arbitrage' or 'polymarket_edge_tracker'.

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?

Annotations already declare read-only and idempotent behavior. The description adds significant behavioral context: snapshot gaps due to cache misses, TTL bounds, and trend computation details. 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 well-structured with sections for response and limits, but it is somewhat lengthy. Every sentence adds value, though it could be trimmed slightly without loss of 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?

No output schema is provided, so the description fully explains the three arrays in the response (tracked, expired, snapshot_dates) and their fields. It also covers limitations like TTL and gaps, making the tool fully 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 covers both parameters with descriptions; the description adds default values, constraints (max days), and interpretation (snapshot family). While helpful, it largely reinforces schema content without major new semantic insight.

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

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false. Description adds extensive behavioral details: walks the order book ladder, returns specific fields (top_of_book, vwap_fill_price, slippage_pp, verdict), and for basket mode covers per-leg data and risks like forced_directional_risk. 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?

Description is comprehensive but somewhat lengthy. Structured with sections (SINGLE-MARKET, BASKET) and front-loaded with purpose. Every sentence adds value, but some details (e.g., default values) could be more terse. Still, highly 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, so description compensates by enumerating return fields for both modes (top_of_book, vwap_fill_price, slippage_pp, shares_filled, max_fillable_usd, verdict; for basket: theoretical_sum, realizable_sum, capture_ratio, profit_usd, per-leg detail, thin_legs, max_clean_notional_usd, forced_directional_risk). Covers use cases, risks, and parameter semantics thoroughly.

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% (all 4 parameters described). Description adds meaning beyond schema: clarifies size_usd interpretation for single-market versus basket, and default side logic for basket ('sell if partition sum > 1, buy if < 1'). Minor gap: no explicit syntax for market/event slug or URL format, but schema descriptions cover that adequately.

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. Distinguishes between single-market and basket modes with specific verbs and resources (e.g., 'walks the ladder', 'returns top_of_book, vwap_fill_price'). Differentiates from sibling tools like polymarket_arbitrage and polymarket_edges by being a pre-trade risk check.

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 THIS before acting on any polymarket_arbitrage SELL/BUY-EVERY-LEG signal or any polymarket_edges trade above ~$500'. Explains why (theoretical overround on thin books not capturable, partial fills create directional risk). Provides alternatives implicitly by differentiating modes.

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

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

Adds substantial behavioral context beyond annotations, including compatibility warnings, temporal alignment checks, and real-world rarity of meaningful spreads. 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?

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, well-structured paragraph of four sentences. It front-loads the core action, then provides usage guidance and technical details. Every sentence adds essential information 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?

For a tool with 3 params and no output schema, the description covers: core functionality, use case, technical implementation, limits, and output format (passages with offsets and similarity scores). It also mentions how it pairs with a sibling tool. This is thorough without being verbose.

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 value by providing example natural-language queries and clarifying that 'text' should be previously fetched content (e.g., SEC 10-K). This enriches semantic 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 the tool does semantic search inside a fetched record, with a specific verb 'search' and resource 'source'. It distinguishes from siblings by contrasting with fetching whole documents and mentioning pairing with 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?

The description explicitly says when to use this tool ('when the record is too big to cram into the prompt') and provides an alternative pairing with ask_pipeworx_grounded. This gives clear context and exclusions.

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

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

Discloses creation behavior, return of id, and delivery constraints (limits, webhook secret once, auto-disable). Adds value beyond annotations, which are consistent (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?

Description is well-structured with sections for types and delivery. Every sentence adds value, though length is moderate but justified by 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?

Covers input details, return value (id), prerequisites, and constraints. No output schema, but description indicates return behavior. Sufficient for agent to use 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 100%; description adds examples for each type, required fields, and constraints (e.g., 'sponsor or condition required' for clinical_trial). Delivery param details are thorough.

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. Returns the new subscription id.' Specific verb and resource, distinct from sibling tools like unsubscribe and list_subscriptions.

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?

Explains when to use (proactive monitoring) and prerequisites (OAuth account, phone verification). Provides supported types with examples, but does not explicitly exclude cases or mention alternatives like recent_alerts.

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

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 context that the tool returns example questions with tool+argument shapes from the live catalog, but no additional behavioral disclosure beyond what annotations imply. 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?

The description is a single paragraph that begins with common user queries, then explains purpose, output, and usage. It is informative without being verbose, though slightly long. Every sentence contributes meaning.

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 this is a simple zero-required-parameter discovery tool with no output schema, the description thoroughly covers what it returns (categorized example questions with exact tool+argument shapes), when to call it, and how to specify a topic. It is fully self-contained and leaves no 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 coverage is 100% for the single optional parameter 'topic'. The description adds value by explicitly listing the possible topic values (finance, pharma, economics, etc.) and explaining that omitting it returns a cross-category spread, which supplements 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 it's an onboarding entry point returning category-bucketed example questions drawn from a live catalog, and distinguishes from sibling tools by recommending it as the first call when unfamiliar with Pipeworx's capabilities.

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 to use it 'FIRST when you do not yet know what Pipeworx can do for you' and to learn how to call meta-tools. Also advises calling with no arguments for full spread or passing a topic to focus, and specifies supported topic values.

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

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint false, so the safety profile is clear. However, the description adds no behavioral context beyond what annotations provide. For example, it doesn't confirm that the tool is read-only or what data it returns. No contradiction, but minimal added value.

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 extremely concise (two words), but it is under-specified rather than efficiently informative. It does not earn its brevity by covering essential 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?

Given the tool has 2 parameters (one required) and an output schema, the description is completely inadequate. It does not explain what the summary contains, how language selection works, or what kind of output to expect. The agent cannot determine suitability or usage from this description alone.

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%, meaning the input schema lacks parameter descriptions. The description does not explain what 'title' or 'lang' mean or how they affect the output. With no param info in either schema or description, the agent has no guidance on parameter usage.

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 'Page summary.' is vague and does not specify what kind of page or summary. It could be interpreted as a summary of a web page or a document, but lacks clarity on the resource and scope. Siblings like entity_profile and deep_research suggest it might be for a specific entity, but the description does not differentiate.

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?

No usage guidelines are provided. There is no indication of when to use this tool versus alternatives like deep_research or search, nor any prerequisites or context.

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

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

Discloses ownership enforcement, deactivation behavior, and historical event retention. Adds value beyond annotations which already show idempotent and non-destructive traits.

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?

Three sentences with front-loaded purpose, essential context, and zero waste. Every sentence earns its place.

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 low complexity (1 param, no output schema), description fully covers purpose, usage condition, and behavioral nuance.

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?

Only one parameter with full schema coverage (100%). Description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema's 'Subscription id (uuid) returned by subscribe.' Baseline 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?

Clear verb 'Cancel a subscription by id' with specific resource and ownership enforcement. Distinguishes from sibling tools like subscribe and list_subscriptions.

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 states when to use (your own subscriptions) and the effect (deactivation not deletion). Lacks explicit contrast with 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.

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

Annotations already indicate read-only, open-world, idempotent, and non-destructive behavior. The description adds valuable context: returns a verdict with structured data, citation, and delta, uses SEC EDGAR + XBRL, and notes that v1 supports only company-financial claims. 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?

The description is concise and well-structured, starting with example queries and layering context. Every sentence adds value 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?

For a single-parameter tool with no output schema, the description covers return values, data sources, and limitations (v1 scope). It is sufficiently complete for an agent to use 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% with a description for the single 'claim' parameter. The description enriches this with natural-language examples and explains how the claim is processed, adding 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 the tool's purpose: natural-language claim verification against authoritative sources. It provides example query patterns and specifies the scope (company-financial claims for public US companies), which distinguishes it from sibling tools like bet_research or deep_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 explicitly says to use it when the agent needs to fact-check user statements and explains what it does. It implies a focus on financial claims but does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternatives for non-financial claims.

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