Discover Tools

discover_tools
Read-onlyIdempotent

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).

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Describes exactly what the return contains (names, descriptions, full schemas, curated examples) and that results are directly callable. Annotations already safe, description adds significant behavioral context beyond annotations.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Single paragraph is packed with essential information, front-loaded with purpose and examples, no wasted words. Every sentence earns its place.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Despite no output schema, description fully explains return format. With 6 params (mostly aliases) and 100% schema coverage, no gaps remain. Complete guidance for an AI agent.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. Description adds value by listing alias parameters and providing usage examples, but mostly reiterates schema info.

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

Purpose5/5

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

Specifically states it finds tools by describing data or task, lists numerous example domains, and clearly distinguishes from siblings (no other discovery tool among siblings).

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly instructs to call this FIRST when many tools are available, and provides clear usage context with examples. Does not omit when-not-to-use as it's naturally implied.

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

A3.6/5.0
Disambiguation3/5

There is meaningful overlap among the ask_pipeworx, deep_research, validate_claim, and polymarket_* tools, but the descriptions do draw fairly clear boundaries between them. The five yt_* tools are distinct and easy to tell apart, though the unrelated Pipeworx cluster makes the overall set feel muddier than it should.

Naming Consistency3/5

Most tools use readable snake_case, and there are coherent prefixes like yt_ and polymarket_, but the set mixes bare verbs (remember, recall, forget, subscribe), noun-style names (entity_profile, deep_research), and API-like names (ask_pipeworx, generate_llms_txt). The pattern is not chaotic, but it is inconsistent across the set.

Tool Count2/5

36 tools is well above the typical well-scoped range, and the vast majority are unrelated to the server's stated 'Youtube' identity. The actual YouTube surface is only five tools, while 31 tools belong to a different Pipeworx/Polymarket domain.

Completeness2/5

For a YouTube-focused server, the yt_* tools cover search, channel info, video details, and comments, but miss obvious surfaces like playlists, transcripts, subscriptions, uploads, and video updates. The large non-YouTube tool collection does not fill these gaps; it only makes the server feel mis-scoped.
