Resolve Entity

Read-onlyIdempotent

"What's the ticker for…" / "find the CIK for…" / "what's the LEI for…" / "what's the RxCUI for…" / "look up the ID for…" / "what is X's official identifier" / "who owns X" / "is X a subsidiary of Y" — resolve a user-spoken NAME to the canonical/official identifiers other tools require as input. Use FIRST whenever you have a name but need an ID. SUPPORTED TYPES: "company" (cross-source identity spine: 10-digit CIK + ticker + company_name from SEC EDGAR, legal-entity LEI from GLEIF with parent/ultimate-parent/children ownership when the LEI resolves, and security FIGI from OpenFIGI — by exact ticker map when a ticker is implied, and otherwise by name search, so NON-EQUITY instruments that never have a ticker (municipal and corporate bonds, notes, authority debt) DO resolve here; when a name matches more than one instrument it asserts nothing and returns figi_candidates to pick from, which is the correct answer to an issuer name that does not identify a single bond; every identifier is labelled with the source that established it, and an identifier that could NOT be resolved is stated explicitly under unresolved rather than omitted — accepts ticker, CIK, ISIN, or company name as input; an ISIN like "CH0038863350" resolves to the LEGAL ENTITY that issued the security via the GLEIF ISIN-to-LEI mapping, covering non-US issuers EDGAR cannot reach), "drug" (returns RxCUI + ingredient + brand from RxNorm + pipeworx://rxnorm/concept/{rxcui} citation; accepts brand or generic name). LEI/FIGI enrichment degrades gracefully — if GLEIF or OpenFIGI is unavailable, the EDGAR identifiers still return. Each call cascades through several lookup endpoints internally — using resolve_entity replaces 2-3 manual lookups.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
typeYesEntity type: "company" or "drug".
valueYesFor company: ticker (AAPL), CIK (0000320193), or name. For drug: brand or generic name (e.g., "ozempic", "metformin"). Pass the ENTITY NAME ONLY — for a bond that is the ISSUER exactly as printed ("NEW YORK ST DORM AUTH"), never the question's full noun phrase ("NEW YORK ST DORM AUTH revenue bonds"): the FIGI lookup matches instrument names, so trailing security-class words match nothing.

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare read-only, idempotent, open-world, and non-destructive behavior. The description adds substantial behavioral detail beyond those annotations: graceful degradation when GLEIF or OpenFIGI is unavailable, ambiguous matches returning figi_candidates, unresolved identifiers being explicitly listed, and every identifier being labeled with its source. There is no contradiction with the annotations.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is dense and long, but it is front-loaded with trigger phrases and the key usage directive. It is organized by supported types and includes important operational caveats. Some tightening and formatting into bullets would improve scannability, but each clause adds meaningful information.

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 lacking an output schema, the description explains key return concepts such as figi_candidates for ambiguous matches, an unresolved list, source-labeled identifiers, and RxCUI/ingredient/brand for drugs. It also covers fallback behavior and multi-source workflow, giving an agent enough context to invoke the tool correctly.

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

Parameters4/5

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

The input schema already provides 100% coverage with detailed parameter descriptions, so the baseline is 3. The tool description adds further meaning by enumerating accepted input formats (ticker, CIK, ISIN, name) and clarifying input value constraints such as passing the entity name only, not a trailing security-class phrase.

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 identifies the action: resolving a user-spoken name to canonical/official identifiers. It lists concrete trigger phrases and explicitly distinguishes the supported entity types and identifier systems (CIK, LEI, FIGI, RxCUI), making its purpose easy to differentiate 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.

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The description gives an explicit usage condition: 'Use FIRST whenever you have a name but need an ID.' It also explains that a single call replaces 2-3 manual lookups. However, it does not explicitly name alternative sibling tools or state when not to use this tool.

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

B3.3/5.0
Disambiguation1/5

Multiple tools have heavily overlapping purposes: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research, discover_tools, and suggest_questions all answer questions or discover data via the same routing engine, with ask_pipeworx_beta explicitly stated to be identical to ask_pipeworx. Polymarket tools (arbitrage, edges, edge_tracker, fill_risk) also blur together, and ai_visibility_check overlaps with scan_competitor_ai_presence.

Naming Consistency2/5

Some clusters are consistent (chargebee_list_*/chargebee_get_*, polymarket_*, pipeworx_*), but the set mixes snake_case with varying verb styles and many unprefixed tools (remember, recall, forget, subscribe, unsubscribe, validate_claim). The 5 Chargebee tools use a clean prefix while the other 31 tools follow several different conventions, making the overall pattern unpredictable.

Tool Count2/5

36 tools is excessively heavy for a server named Chargebee, especially since only 5 tools actually relate to Chargebee. The remaining 31 tools form a broad Pipeworx/prediction-market/utility toolkit that has little connection to the server's apparent billing purpose, making the count feel bloated and unfocused.

Completeness1/5

The Chargebee-specific surface is severely incomplete: it only supports reading customers, subscriptions, and invoices, with no create, update, delete, payment, dunning, coupon, or plan-management operations. The rest of the tools belong to unrelated domains, so the set as a whole has no coherent lifecycle coverage and would leave agents unable to perform even basic Chargebee management tasks.
