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 5,801 tools across 1517 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.

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the annotations (readOnly, openWorld, idempotent, non-destructive), the description discloses that the tool routes to 5,801 tools across 1,517 verified sources, returns structured answers with stable pipeworx:// citation URIs, and can access live news. This gives substantial insight into internal behavior that annotations alone would not provide.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

The description is overly verbose and repetitive, with phrases like 'PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH' and 'START HERE for most questions' appearing multiple times. While it is front-loaded with key guidance, the redundancy and length (especially the repeated examples and 'Step up only when needed' sections) detract from clarity and economy of wording.

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?

The description covers the tool's scope, routing behavior, citation output, and relationship to alternatives, which is sufficient for a meta-routing tool without an output schema. It does not detail error handling or failure modes, but given the readOnly, openWorld nature and the explicit differentiation from grounded/deep_research, the description is largely complete for invoking the tool correctly.

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?

While the schema already documents the 'question' parameter and its aliases with 100% coverage, the description adds practical examples (e.g., 'What was Apple's revenue in 2024?') and explicitly states that question accepts query, q, prompt, text, and input as aliases, reinforcing and clarifying the schema beyond its raw field definitions.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states the tool's purpose: answering factual questions about current/historical data by routing to source-specific tools. It also distinguishes itself from sibling tools like ask_pipeworx_grounded and deep_research by explicitly naming them and their differences, making its role unambiguous.

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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives: it says 'PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH', 'START HERE for most questions', and 'Step up only when needed' for ask_pipeworx_grounded and deep_research. It also clarifies that it handles breaking news via live news feeds, leaving no ambiguity about selection.

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

A3.9/5.0
Disambiguation3/5

Many tools have overlapping purposes, such as multiple query tools (ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research) and prediction market analysis tools (bet_research, polymarket_arbitrage, polymarket_edges). While descriptions help differentiate, the clustering of similar functions may cause confusion.

Naming Consistency4/5

All tools use snake_case, but the pattern varies: some start with verbs (forget, remember, recall) while others start with nouns (entity_profile, pipeworx_trending). The naming is generally clear with minor inconsistencies.

Tool Count4/5

With 31 tools, the set is slightly large but appropriate given the broad scope covering company data, prediction markets, memory, subscriptions, and more. A few tools like yesterdays_number_get seem out of place, but overall the count is reasonable.

Completeness3/5

The tool set covers many domains comprehensively (SEC, FDA, FRED, prediction markets), but there are notable gaps such as no direct web search or stock price tool beyond routed queries. The server feels like a collection of capabilities rather than a unified domain.
