Ask Pipeworx

ask_pipeworx
Read-onlyIdempotent

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 5,767 tools across 1506 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.

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint false. The description adds valuable behavioral context by explaining that the tool routes internally, auto-fills arguments, and returns structured answers with stable citation URIs. It could mention failure or unanswerable cases, but it exceeds 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.

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is long but front-loaded with the most critical routing guidance, followed by concrete examples and escalation rules. Every sentence contributes useful selection or invocation information, though it is denser than strictly necessary.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Despite the lack of an output schema, the description explains the key return characteristic: a structured answer with pipeworx:// citation URIs. Combined with the single required question parameter, comprehensive usage triggers, and explicit alternatives, the description is complete enough for an agent to select and invoke the tool correctly.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the parameter meaning and aliases are already fully documented in the input schema. The description reinforces this with examples and natural-language triggers, but it doesn't add new meaning beyond the schema.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states the tool's function: it routes questions to one of 5,767 tools across 1,506 verified sources and returns structured answers with pipeworx:// citation URIs. It goes beyond the name/title and explicitly distinguishes itself from web search and sibling tools like deep_research.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

The description provides explicit when-to-use guidance: prefer over web search for a broad list of domains and trigger phrases such as 'what is', 'look up', 'find', and 'current'. It also names deep_research as the alternative for broad/multi-part questions, giving clear routing instructions.

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
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have distinct purposes, but there is some overlap (e.g., ai_visibility_check and scan_competitor_ai_presence are related; memory tools remember/recall/forget form a clear subgroup). Descriptions are detailed enough to differentiate, but the broad scope may cause occasional mis-selection.

Naming Consistency2/5

Naming is inconsistent: some tools use verb_noun (list_accounts, get_profit_and_loss), others are single words (forget, recall), and some use snake_case with mixed verbs (ai_visibility_check, ask_pipeworx, bet_research). No uniform pattern makes the set harder to navigate.

Tool Count3/5

25 tools is high but not extreme given the broad scope (accounting, betting, data queries, npm, memory, etc.). However, the server tries to cover too many domains, making it feel bloated. Each tool is individually useful, but the count is borderline excessive for coherence.

Completeness2/5

The Xero accounting subset is incomplete: only list and get operations, no create/update/delete for invoices, contacts, or accounts. Other domains (betting, npm) are covered well, but the core accounting purpose has significant gaps that will hinder agents.
