Tool Definition Quality
Average 4.6/5 across 33 of 33 tools scored. Lowest: 3.6/5.
The tool set is a mix of Yu-Gi-Oh! card lookups (3 tools) and a vast Pipeworx data platform (30 tools). Many Pipeworx tools have overlapping purposes (ask_pipeworx vs. deep_research; multiple polymarket tools; entity_profile vs. compare_entities). This makes it extremely difficult for an agent to distinguish which tool to use for a given task.
Naming is chaotic: snake_case (ask_pipeworx, get_card), camelCase (generate_llms_txt, resolve_entity), and inconsistent verb usage (scan_dependency, search_within, remember/forget/recall). No coherent pattern exists across the tool set.
With 33 tools but only 3 directly related to the server's name (Ygoprodeck = Yu-Gi-Oh!), the tool count is wildly inappropriate. The majority are unrelated Pipeworx tools, making the set feel bloated and misaligned with the server's apparent purpose.
For a Yu-Gi-Oh! card server, only get, random, and search are provided—no create, update, delete, or deck-building tools. While the Pipeworx subset is relatively complete, it is completely out of scope. The tool surface is severely incomplete for the server's advertised domain.
Available Tools
33 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 declare the tool as read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive. The description adds value by explaining that probing Anthropic requires a BYO API key and noting the default model. 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?
Three sentences, front-loaded with the core action and output, no wasted words. Every sentence serves a purpose.
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 4 parameters, no output schema, and good annotations, the description fully covers purpose, parameters, use cases, and output format. It is complete 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 description coverage is 100%, but the description adds meaningful context beyond the schema: it mentions the default model (Workers AI Llama-3.3-70b free), explains that _apiKey is for Anthropic and passed straight through, and clarifies that context helps disambiguate common names.
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 tool's action: 'Probe one or more LLMs for what they know about a business / brand / product / topic and score visibility (0-100) per model.' It uses specific verbs and resources, and distinguishes this tool from its many siblings by focusing on AI visibility 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 states it is 'Useful for AI-marketing audits, pre-launch brand checks, competitive monitoring,' providing clear context for when to use it. However, it does not explicitly mention when not to use it or compare to alternative tools.
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 4,482 tools across 1129 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?
Annotations already declare safe, idempotent read-only nature. Description adds that it returns citations with stable pipeworx:// URIs and works on every tier, providing additional useful 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?
Well-structured with key guidance front-loaded, examples provided, and escalation rules at end. Slightly wordy but all sentences earn their 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?
For a tool routing to many sources, the description covers scope, alternatives, examples, and usage boundaries comprehensively despite having no 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 covers all parameters, and description adds that the tool fills arguments automatically and accepts multiple aliases for the question parameter, going beyond 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 it answers factual questions by routing to 4,482 tools across 1,129 sources, distinguishing it from siblings like ask_pipeworx_grounded and 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?
Explicitly says to prefer this over web search for factual questions, provides examples, and tells when to step up to grounded or deep research alternatives.
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 4,482 across 1129 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?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, etc. The description adds rich behavioral details: same routing as ask_pipeworx, selects tool from 4,482, fills arguments, extracts answer only from result, returns refusal reasons. 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 a single paragraph that front-loads purpose, then details process, usage, and cost. It is somewhat lengthy but each sentence adds value. Could be slightly more concise but well-structured.
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 the description elaborately explains the success and refusal return formats (answer, evidence, confidence, source, etc.) and possible refusal reasons. It also covers routing, cost, and when to use, making it very 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% with alias descriptions. The description adds 'Your question in natural language' but largely repeats alias info. Thus baseline 3 applies; the description provides minimal added meaning.
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: 'Hallucination-resistant answer mode for high-stakes reads.' It distinguishes from the sibling 'ask_pipeworx' by explaining that it extracts answers only from tool results and returns evidence. The verb 'answer' and resource 'Pipeworx grounded' are specific.
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 guidance: 'Use whenever an answer will be quoted, cited, or acted on... Prefer ask_pipeworx for casual lookups.' This tells when to use and when not to, and names the alternative sibling tool.
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?
Beyond annotations (readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false), the description details fan-out behavior, response shapes, resolver contract, parent event extraction, news fallback mechanisms, safety short-circuits, closed market handling, wide-spread warnings, and resolution-rule risk. This is comprehensive and adds significant 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 thorough but verbose, spanning multiple paragraphs. It is front-loaded with the core purpose but could be more concise. Some details are essential, but structure could be improved.
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 (classifiers, fan-outs, safety behaviors, response shapes), the description is remarkably complete. It covers edge cases, resolution risks, and market states. No output schema, but explanation of response fields suffices.
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 3 parameters. Description adds value: market parameter gets examples, depth explains quick vs. thorough with default, include_raw explains when to use true. It provides nuance 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, specifying input types (slug, URL, question text) and output (evidence packet + comparison). It effectively distinguishes itself from sibling tools like polymarket_arbitrage or polymarket_edges by focusing on data fan-out and 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?
Provides explicit use cases: 'should I bet on X', 'what does the data say about Y', 'is there edge in Z'. Classifiers and fan-out examples give context. Does not explicitly state when not to use, but the 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.
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?
Beyond annotations (readOnly, idempotent, etc.), the description details data sources per type (SEC 10-K for companies, FAERS/FDA/trials for drugs), off-calendar fiscal year handling, sorting by primary metric, and output (paired data + 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?
Front-loaded with common query patterns and imperative advice. Every sentence adds unique value—examples, data details, performance note. 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 complexity (two entity types, multiple data sources) and no output schema, the description covers purpose, parameters, behavior, and usage. Minor omission: no mention of error handling for missing entities or invalid inputs, but annotations suggest open-world tolerance.
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?
While schema coverage is 100%, the description enriches parameter meaning: explains what data each 'type' pulls (revenue, net income for company; adverse-event counts for drug) and gives concrete examples for 'values' (tickers, drug names). This helps the agent understand the return 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 states the tool performs side-by-side comparisons of 2–5 companies or drugs in one parallel call. It distinguishes from siblings like entity_profile and search tools by emphasizing that this replaces sequential 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 says 'ALWAYS PREFER over sequential single-pack lookups when comparing entities.' It provides example queries and notes it replaces 8–15 sequential lookups, giving clear when-to-use guidance.
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 1129 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 4,482 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. Expect 15-60s.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| depth | No | How many facets to research in parallel: quick=3, standard=5 (default), thorough=8 (paid plans). | |
| 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?
The description adds rich behavioral context beyond the annotations: account requirement (free with paid plan for thorough), return format ('findings packet: verbatim evidence + confidence + source + fetched_at + stable pipeworx:// citation per finding, with explicit gaps[]'), timing ('Expect 15-60s'), and the decomposition/parallel routing behavior. Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint=false, and the description is fully consistent.
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 the most critical information (account requirement and alternative) front-loaded. Every sentence serves a purpose, providing usage guidelines, behavioral details, and parameter semantics. It could be slightly more concise, but the density of useful information justifies the 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?
Given the tool's complexity (2 parameters, 1 required, no nested objects, no output schema), the description is comprehensive. It explains the return format in detail, including fields like evidence, confidence, source, citation, and gaps[]. It also covers timing, account tiers, and when the tool returns empty results. The description compensates fully for the lack of an 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?
Both parameters (question, depth) are fully described in the schema (100% coverage). The description adds significant meaning beyond the schema: it explains the depth enum values ('quick=3, standard=5 (default), thorough=8 (paid plans)') and clarifies that the question can be 'broad/multi-part'. This extra context helps the agent choose appropriate values.
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 as a 'grounded multi-source research' tool that decomposes questions into facets and routes to tools in parallel. It distinguishes itself from siblings like ask_pipeworx (single lookup) and provides specific use cases (e.g., 'compare X and Y's regulatory + financial exposure'). The verb 'research' combined with the resource (structured data sources) and scope (broad/multi-part) 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 when-to-use and when-not-to-use guidance: 'Best for broad/multi-part questions over structured data' and for breaking news or colloquial current-news topics, 'prefer ask_pipeworx'. It also mentions an alternative tool (ask_pipeworx) for single lookups, and notes the account requirement with a link to sign up, plus the paid plan for 'thorough' depth.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
discover_toolsDiscover ToolsARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Find tools by describing the data or task. Use when you need to browse, search, look up, or discover what tools exist for: SEC filings, financials, revenue, profit, FDA drugs, adverse events, FRED economic data, Census demographics, BLS jobs/unemployment/inflation, ATTOM real estate, ClinicalTrials, USPTO patents, weather, news, crypto, stocks. Returns the top-N most relevant tools with names, descriptions, and full input schemas (with curated examples) — each result is ready to call directly, no second schema lookup needed. Call this FIRST when you have many tools available and want to see the option set (not just one answer).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| q | No | Alias for query. | |
| task | No | Alias for query. | |
| limit | No | Maximum number of tools to return (default 20, max 50) | |
| query | Yes | Natural language description of what you want to do (e.g., "analyze housing market trends", "look up FDA drug approvals", "find trade data between countries"). Accepts task, q, description, search as aliases. | |
| 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 indicate readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive. Description adds beyond that: explains return format (names, descriptions, full input schemas with examples) and that results are callable without second lookup, providing valuable 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?
Well-structured: front-loaded purpose, then domains, then return value and usage. Slightly verbose but every sentence adds value, 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 no output schema, description fully explains return content (tool names, descriptions, schemas with examples) and when to use. Complete for a discovery tool with no nested objects.
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. Description mentions query accepting aliases and natural language, but this repeats schema info without adding new meaning.
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 or task, with specific domain examples like SEC filings, financials, FDA drugs, etc. Distinct from sibling tools which are specific actions (e.g., bet_research, entity_profile).
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 when you need to browse, search, look up, or discover what tools exist' and 'Call this FIRST when you have many tools available and want to see the option set.' Provides clear context and when-to-use guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
entity_profileEntity ProfileARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
"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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| type | Yes | Entity type. Only "company" supported today; person/place coming soon. | |
| 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, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint. The description adds valuable context: the data sources (SEC, XBRL, USPTO, GDELT, GLEIF), specific return fields, and a caveat about USPTO PatentsView API sunset. 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 packed with examples and details, but slightly verbose. It could be tightened while retaining all key information. However, it front-loads the purpose with example queries, which is effective.
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 (multi-source aggregation, no output schema), the description fully covers purpose, when to use, parameters, and return structure (filings, fundamentals, patents, news, LEI). No 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 coverage is 100% with descriptions for both 'type' and 'value'. The description reinforces that 'type' only supports 'company' and explains 'value' accepts ticker or zero-padded CIK, adding clarity 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 uses concrete examples ('Tell me about X', 'research Acme') and explicitly states it returns a 'full cross-source profile of a US public company in ONE parallel call'. It distinguishes itself from the sibling tool 'resolve_entity' by noting that names require that tool first.
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 explicitly states 'ALWAYS PREFER over chaining single-pack SEC/XBRL/news lookups' for holistic views, and provides clear when-not-to-use guidance: 'names not supported (use resolve_entity first if you only have a name)'.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
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). Describe the issue in terms of Pipeworx tools/packs — don't paste the end-user's prompt. 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 | Yes | 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. | |
| context | No | Optional structured context: which tool, pack, or vertical this relates to. | |
| message | Yes | Your feedback in plain text. Be specific (which tool, what error, what data was missing). 1-2 sentences typical, 2000 chars max. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description adds significant behavioral context beyond annotations: rate-limited to 5 per identifier per day, free, doesn't count against tool-call quota, and team reads digests daily affecting roadmap. Annotations only indicate non-read-only and non-destructive, but description gives specific operational details.
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?

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 all necessary aspects: what to send, how to structure, when to use each type, limitations (rate limit, quota), and impact (roadmap influence). No output schema is needed for this simple feedback tool, so completeness is high.
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?
Despite 100% schema coverage, the description adds meaning by elaborating on the 'type' enum values (e.g., 'bug = something broke or returned wrong data'), explaining the 'context' object's role, and giving guidance on message content ('Be specific... 1-2 sentences typical'). This goes well beyond the 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?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: sending feedback (bugs, features, data_gaps, praise) to the Pipeworx team. It distinguishes from sibling tools which are all unrelated to feedback submission.

| 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?

polymarket_arbitragePolymarket ArbitrageARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
REQUIRES one of event (single-event mode) OR topic (cross-event mode) — call with no args fails. Find arbitrage opportunities on Polymarket via monotonicity violations + partition-sum checks. 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?
Annotations indicate readOnly, openWorld, idempotent, non-destructive. The description adds extensive behavioral detail: partition checks, fill checks, semantic anchor for similarity, partition filter, and handling of thin legs. It explains what happens if realizable_edge is non-positive.
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 clear sections (SEMANTIC ANCHOR, PARTITION FILTER, FILL CHECK) and bolded key terms. It could be slightly shorter, but the structure aids readability.
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 response fields (opportunities, partition_check) and includes edge cases (fill check, placeholder filtering). It covers complex behavior and distinguishes from siblings like polymarket_edges and polymarket_fill_risk.
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% (both parameters described). The description adds significant meaning: event accepts slugs or full URLs, topic is a seed question, and explains mode behavior and constraints like Jaccard similarity.
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 finds arbitrage opportunities on Polymarket via monotonicity violations and partition-sum checks. It distinguishes two modes (event and topic) with specific behavior for each, making 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?
Explicit guidance on when to use event vs topic mode, including a recommendation for specific event mode. It warns that calling with no arguments fails and references sibling tool polymarket_fill_risk for custom sizing.

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 extensively discloses behavioral traits beyond annotations: caching (1h KV-level keyed on knobs), slippage assumptions, filtering logic, diagnostics for empty segments, Fed bet exclusion rationale, and detailed calculation methods. Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint, so the description adds deep transparency without 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 dense paragraph that front-loads purpose but buries important details like caching and diagnostics. While every sentence is informative, the lack of structure (e.g., bullet points or sections) makes it less scannable for an agent. It is complete but not optimally concise.
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 and no output schema, the description thoroughly explains the response structure (by_segment, fed_candidates, fed_note, _diagnostics) and individual opportunity fields. It also covers caching, filtering logic, and edge cases like empty segments. This provides a complete mental model for the agent to invoke and interpret results 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?
With 100% schema description coverage, the baseline is 3, but the tool description adds substantial meaning to every parameter: it explains defaults, use cases, and adjustment guidance (e.g., slippage_pp explains Polymarket fee structure and when to adjust; min_partition_leg_kelly explains why min_kelly doesn't apply to partitions). This far exceeds basic schema documentation.
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, specifically for daily betting discovery. It distinguishes itself from siblings like polymarket_arbitrage and bet_research by focusing on Pipeworx models and returning structured opportunities with edge metrics.
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 for when to use the tool ("Built for 'what should I bet on today'") and explains the segments and tradeable-edge knobs. However, it lacks explicit when-not-to-use guidance or direct comparison to alternative tools like polymarket_arbitrage, though the purpose is clear enough for an agent to infer appropriate use.
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?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint. The description adds substantial behavioral context: snapshots written on cache-miss, gaps meaning no scan that day, 60-day TTL, decay from daily closes not intraday. 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 fairly long but well-structured: purpose, then response fields, then limitations. Each sentence contributes meaningful information. Minor redundancy could be trimmed, but overall 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?
No output schema exists, so the description fully compensates by detailing the response structure (tracked[], expired[], snapshot_dates[]) and limitations (TTL, start date). For a read-only data tool, this is comprehensive.
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 documented). The description adds value by specifying defaults (days=14, window='1wk'), clamping (days clamp 2-30), and window family options (24hr, 1wk, 1mo) 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: edge persistence and decay telemetry from daily snapshots, answering 'how long has this edge existed and is it shrinking?'. This is a specific verb+resource combination that distinguishes it from siblings like polymarket_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 implicitly guides usage by contrasting fresh wide edges with old wide edges, indicating when to use this tool (when time-based history matters). It doesn't explicitly state alternatives, but the sibling context provides differentiation.
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 already indicate readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint, and non-destructive. The description significantly adds: requirement of market or event, details on return fields (top_of_book, vwap_fill_price, etc.), the danger of partial basket fills converting arb into unhedged directional position, and defaults/clamps. 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 relatively long but front-loaded with the purpose. Every sentence contributes value given the tool's complexity (two modes, edge cases, warnings). Could be slightly more concise, but the structure effectively conveys necessary 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 and lack of output schema, the description comprehensively covers return values for both modes (single-market: top_of_book, vwap_fill_price, etc.; basket: theoretical_sum, realizable_sum, etc.), edge cases (thin books, partial fills), and the risk of unhedged directional positions. No missing contextual elements.
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, baseline 3. The description adds extra meaning: default behavior for side in basket mode (auto based on partition sum), interpretation of size_usd in basket mode (settlement notional), and clamp range. This adds 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 description clearly defines the tool as a 'realizable-vs-theoretical edge check against live CLOB order-book depth'. It distinguishes between single-market and basket modes, and explicitly differentiates from sibling tools like polymarket_arbitrage and polymarket_edges by stating when to use it.
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 guidance: 'USE THIS before acting on any polymarket_arbitrage SELL/BUY-EVERY-LEG signal or any polymarket_edges trade above ~$500'. It explains the two modes (market vs event) and why it's necessary (theoretical overround not capturable, partial fills cause directional risk).
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

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 3 parameters with 100% schema coverage and no output schema, the description fully explains response shape, safety fields, and edge cases. An AI agent has enough context to use the 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 covers all 3 parameters with descriptions. Description adds value by explaining the relationship between parameters (overrides, interaction of topic vs explicit) and providing examples. Could mention default behavior when no parameters given.
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 computes cross-venue spread between Kalshi and Polymarket. It distinguishes from sibling tools like polymarket_arbitrage by specifying multi-venue comparison. The verb 'Cross-venue spread' precisely describes the action and resource.
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 two modes (topic and explicit) with specific examples. Warns that most pre-mapped topics are not tradeable and provides safety fields to check. Tells when to use each mode and what to expect, including cases where spread is meaningless.
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?

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. | |

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 substantive and front-loaded with example queries, making the purpose immediately clear. While it is somewhat lengthy, every sentence serves a purpose—adding examples, usage guidance, behavioral insights, and return value details. A slight trim could improve conciseness, but it remains highly effective.
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 absence of an output schema, the description compensates by clearly explaining the return values (ticker, CIK, company_name, citation URI for company; RxCUI, ingredient, brand, citation for drug). With annotations covering safety and idempotency, and the description covering inputs, outputs, and usage, the tool is fully specified 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 description coverage is 100%, and the description enriches the meaning of both parameters. For 'type,' it enumerates the supported values and explains what each returns. For 'value,' it provides specific examples of acceptable inputs (ticker, CIK, name for company; brand/generic for drug). This adds significant context beyond the 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?
The description starts with concrete user queries ('What's the ticker for…', 'find the CIK for…') and clearly states the tool's purpose: 'resolve a user-spoken NAME to the canonical/official identifier other tools require as input.' This specifies verb (resolve) and resource (names to IDs), and the supported types (company, drug) distinguish it from sibling tools like 'entity_profile' or 'compare_entities'.
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 advises: 'Use FIRST whenever you have a name but need an ID.' This provides clear guidance on when to use the tool. Although it does not explicitly state when not to use or list alternatives, the sibling tool names (e.g., 'entity_profile') imply other options for different needs.
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 declare readOnly, idempotent, openWorld. Description adds that it probes each entity with ai_visibility_check, ranks by score, and returns ranked list with score, confidence, signal density. 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?
Concise, front-loaded, three sentences. No redundancy. Every 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?
Complete for a comparison tool with robust annotations and schema. Description covers output (ranked list with metrics) and use case. No gaps given no 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 coverage is 100%, so baseline 3. Description adds value beyond schema: explains that first entity in 'entities' is the subject for narrative, and gives default model info. Enhances 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?
Description uses specific verb 'compare' and resource 'AI visibility across multiple entities'. Clearly distinguishes from sibling 'ai_visibility_check' which likely handles single entity. Includes example use case.
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 it's 'useful for competitive AI-marketing audits' with an example question. Implies alternative is using 'ai_visibility_check' for single entity, but doesn't explicitly mention 'when not to use' or name the sibling.
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?
Annotations already declare read-only and idempotent. Description adds behavioral details: bundlephobia first measurement can take 5-30s, sources_failed if timeout, partial failures still return data. 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?
6 dense sentences, each essential: purpose, use cases, ecosystem, output summary, failure mode. Front-loaded with the composite check metaphor. 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?
Covers all relevant aspects: two external sources, behavioral constraints, output structure, ecosystem limitation, and graceful degradation. Without output schema, the description lists the output block fields, making it complete for agent decision.
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. Description adds extra context: scoped packages accepted, version defaults to latest when omitted. This adds 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?
The description clearly states a composite check for npm packages using deps.dev and bundlephobia, with a specific verb ('scan') and resource ('npm package'). It distinguishes from siblings by specifying NPM-only ecosystem and listing output 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?
Explicitly says 'Use whenever an agent asks...' with concrete queries, and contrasts with other ecosystems via deps.dev:version directly. Also notes partial failures and graceful degradation.
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, destructiveHint. The description adds value by confirming it returns names, types, descriptions, ATK/DEF, attributes, archetypes, images, and TCGplayer prices. No contradictions. Could mention pagination behavior, but not essential.
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: first states functionality, second lists outputs. No redundant information, efficiently structured and front-loaded.
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 adequately mentions return fields. Parameter descriptions are thorough in schema. Missing details like default sort or max offset are minor. Overall complete for a search 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% with descriptions for all 8 parameters. The description mentions fuzzy match but does not add significant meaning beyond what schema already 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 clearly states 'Search Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG cards by name (fuzzy), card type, attribute, monster race/type, archetype, or level' and lists return fields. It distinguishes from siblings like 'get_card' and 'random_card' by focusing on search with multiple filters.
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 what filters are available but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., get_card for exact card lookup, random_card for random selection). It provides clear context but lacks exclusions or when-not guidance.
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 safe, idempotent, read-only behavior. Description adds rich details not in annotations: embedding model (BGE-base-en), chunking strategy (500-char overlapping windows), similarity (cosine), max input length with truncation behavior, and offset inclusion for quote verification. 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?
Concise at three sentences, front-loaded with core purpose. Each sentence adds distinct value (purpose, usage guidance, technical details). No wasted words; efficiently 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?
No output schema, but description explains return type (top-N passages with offsets and scores) and mentions truncation behavior. Pairs well with sibling. Complete for a tool of this complexity with only three parameters.
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 beyond: explains text as document to search, provides example queries for the query parameter, states default and range for limit. Also adds context about embedding and chunking, enhancing 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 performs semantic search inside a fetched record, specifies the action (retrieve passages), the resource (text), and the context (inside a record). It distinguishes from sibling ask_pipeworx_grounded by mentioning pairing, making 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?
Explicitly advises when to use: when the record is too large for the prompt. Explains benefits (saves context, returns relevant passages with offsets for verification). Also guides pairing with ask_pipeworx_grounded, covering when-not and alternatives.
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 significant behavioral context beyond annotations: requires OAuth, no anonymous, delivery channel limitations (SMS cap, webhook auto-disabled), and security details (signing secret returned once, HMAC signature). Aligns with idempotentHint and non-destructiveHint.
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?

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 creates a proactive monitoring subscription to a live-data event stream and returns the new subscription id. It distinguishes from sibling tools like list_subscriptions and unsubscribe.
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 when-to-use context (monitoring live data) and prerequisites (Pipeworx OAuth account, not anonymous/BYO). Does not explicitly exclude alternatives but gives enough context to infer appropriate usage.
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 |

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. v1 supports company-financial claims (revenue, net income, cash position for public US companies) via SEC EDGAR + XBRL. Returns a verdict (confirmed / approximately_correct / refuted / inconclusive / unsupported), extracted structured form, actual value with pipeworx:// citation, and percent delta. Replaces 4–6 sequential calls (NL parsing → entity resolution → data lookup → numeric 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". |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint, but the description adds substantial behavioral context: it details the return fields (verdict, structured form, actual value with citation, percent delta), explains the underlying data source (SEC EDGAR + XBRL), and highlights efficiency (replaces 4-6 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 front-loaded with examples and purpose, then covers scope, returns, and efficiency. It is somewhat lengthy (5 sentences) but each sentence adds value. Could be trimmed slightly, but overall well-structured.
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 one parameter and no output schema, the description provides thorough context: examples, supported claim types, return format, data source, and efficiency benefits. It fully compensates for the missing output schema and leaves no key 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?
The input schema has 100% description coverage for the single required parameter 'claim', with a clear natural-language description. The tool description reinforces this with example formats but does not add substantive new semantics 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 uses specific verbs like 'verify', 'check', 'confirm or refute' and clearly identifies the resource as 'natural-language claim verification against authoritative sources'. It provides example queries and distinguishes itself by specifying supported claim types (company-financial claims) and mentioning it replaces multiple sequential calls, thus differentiating from sibling tools.
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 'Use whenever the agent needs to check whether something a user said is factually correct.' It also delimits scope with 'v1 supports company-financial claims...', giving clear context for appropriate use. However, it does not explicitly exclude alternative tools, which would warrant a 5.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
