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).

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations declare readOnlyHint and idempotentHint, covering safety. The description adds behavioral details about returning top-N results with full schemas and examples, and being ready to call directly. 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.

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is compact, with each sentence serving a purpose. The domain list is extensive but provides useful search context without being redundant.

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?

Given the annotations and full schema, the description adequately covers the tool's behavior, output, and usage context. It even mentions the output format, compensating for lack of an output schema.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, so the description need not compensate. It adds slight context via 'top-N' relating to the limit parameter, but doesn't enrich parameter semantics beyond the schema.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states the tool's function with 'Find tools by describing the data or task' and lists specific domains, distinguishing it from sibling tools that perform specific tasks. It also positions it as a discovery meta-tool.

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 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', giving clear guidance on when to use it versus calling a specific tool directly.

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

A3.8/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Multiple tools are near-duplicates or heavily overlap: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, and ask_pipeworx_grounded are nearly identical, several polymarket_* tools cover the same edge-detection domain, and scan_competitor_ai_presence is just a wrapper around ai_visibility_check. Agents will frequently struggle to pick the right tool.

Naming Consistency3/5

Most tools use snake_case, but the pattern is inconsistent: verb_noun (estimate_electricity, resolve_entity), noun_phrase (entity_profile, recent_changes), brand-specific (ask_pipeworx, pipeworx_trending), and family-prefixed (polymarket_*). The naming is readable but lacks a single cohesive convention.

Tool Count2/5

At 34 tools, the set is far larger than the 'Carbon Interface' name implies. It piles together carbon estimation, a massive data-router, prediction-market analysis, memory, subscriptions, and meta-tools, making the surface feel bloated and unfocused.

Completeness3/5

The carbon-estimation purpose is thin (only three estimators with no lifecycle), but the broader Pipeworx/data and prediction-market subdomains are fairly well covered. Gaps exist in each subdomain (e.g., no order placement for betting, no carbon scope beyond the three estimates), and the lack of a clear primary domain makes coverage hard to assess.
