"What's new with X" / "latest on Y" / "what happened to Z this week / month / quarter" / "updates on Acme" / "news on Tesla recently" / "what's happening with Apple" — change feed for a company in the last N days/weeks/months in ONE parallel call. 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.

A5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already indicate safe, read-only, idempotent operation. The description adds valuable behavioral details: parallel fan-out to multiple sources, fallback logic (GDELT→GNews on rate limits/5xx), soft-fail for USPTO, and return structure (changes[] grouped by source, total_changes count, citation URIs). 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.

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is a single well-structured paragraph that front-loads the purpose and example queries. It covers all essential aspects (sources, parameters, fallbacks, alternatives) without redundancy or fluff.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Despite the tool's complexity (multi-source, fallbacks, error handling) and absence of an output schema, the description is complete. It explains the behavior of each source, what happens on failures, the return format, and provides a clear alternative tool.

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

Parameters5/5

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

Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions. The description adds extra context: examples of relative shorthand ('7d', '30d', '3m', '1y') and suggestion for typical monitoring. It clarifies that 'value' accepts ticker or CIK, and 'type' is only 'company'.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states the tool provides a change feed for a company within a time window, with specific example queries ('What's new with X', 'latest on Y'). It lists the data sources (SEC EDGAR, GDELT→GNews, USPTO) and distinguishes from sibling entity_profile.

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 tells when to use (e.g., 'What's new with X') and when not to ('Use entity_profile instead when you want the static profile'). It also cautions about USPTO soft-fail and provides parameter suggestions (e.g., use '30d' for typical monitoring).

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

A4.1/5.0
Disambiguation3/5

Most tools have distinct roles, but there is meaningful overlap among the question-answering family (ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research) and among the Polymarket analysis tools (bet_research, polymarket_arbitrage, polymarket_edges, polymarket_fill_risk). The long descriptions help separate them, but the boundaries are still subtle enough that an agent could easily pick the wrong variant.

Naming Consistency4/5

The naming is mostly snake_case and generally follows a verb_noun pattern (ask_pipeworx, compare_entities, resolve_entity, scan_dependency, validate_claim). Deviations like entity_profile, recent_alerts, recent_changes, and bare verbs (forget, recall, remember, subscribe, unsubscribe) are minor and do not seriously harm predictability.

Tool Count3/5

31 tools is heavy for a single server and suggests the surface is a bundled platform (data queries, prediction markets, memory, subscriptions, AI-visibility checks) rather than one tightly scoped domain. Each tool has a rational purpose, but the sheer count plus several meta/didactic tools makes the set feel somewhat oversized.

Completeness4/5

Core workflows are well covered: entity resolution, profiles, comparisons, grounded lookup, fact-checking, deep research, memory CRUD, and subscription lifecycle. Gaps are minor. There are no update operations for subscriptions, and some optional data sources degrade softly, but agents can accomplish the intended research, monitoring, and memory tasks without dead ends.
