Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve a value previously saved via remember, or list all saved keys (omit the key argument). Use to look up context the agent stored earlier — the user's target ticker, an address, prior research notes — without re-deriving it from scratch. Scoped to your identifier (anonymous IP, BYO key hash, or account ID). Pair with remember to save, forget to delete.

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Adds context beyond annotations: scoping to identifier and behavior when key is omitted. Annotations already indicate readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive. 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.

Conciseness5/5

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

Three sentences: purpose, usage, scoping/pairing. Front-loaded with action. No unnecessary 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?

For a simple retrieval tool with 1 optional param and no output schema, description covers purpose, usage, param behavior, scoping, and relationships. No gaps.

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% and description repeats param function, but adds extra context about retrieving values saved via remember and omission behavior. Slight added value over 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?

Clearly states 'retrieve a value' or 'list all saved keys', specifies the resource (memory), and distinguishes from siblings like 'remember' and 'forget'. Includes scoping details. Action + resource + distinction.

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?

Explicitly says 'use to look up context the agent stored earlier' and pairs with remember/forget. Does not explicitly state when not to use or list alternatives, but context is clear.

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
Disambiguation3/5

Some tools have near-identical purposes (ask_pipeworx vs ask_pipeworx_beta are currently identical; polymarket_arbitrage vs polymarket_edges both find opportunities), but detailed descriptions and distinct input patterns mostly help an agent choose. A few discovery/verification tools (suggest_questions vs discover_tools, validate_claim vs ask_pipeworx_grounded) also overlap, creating residual ambiguity.

Naming Consistency3/5

All names are snake_case and many use domain prefixes (comtrade_, polymarket_, pipeworx_), but the set mixes verb_noun (compare_entities, discover_tools), bare verbs (remember, forget, subscribe), and noun phrases (entity_profile, recent_changes). This inconsistency, plus the use of domain-specific prefixes as a substitute for a uniform verb_noun style, makes the naming pattern only moderately predictable.

Tool Count2/5

35 tools is well beyond the typical well-scoped range, and the vast majority (prediction markets, memory, subscriptions, feedback, npm dependency checks) have nothing to do with the server's apparent Comtrade trade-data purpose. This bloat makes the set feel unfocused, even though some meta-tools serve a general data-access mission.

Completeness4/5

For the Comtrade trade-data domain, the four comtrade_* tools cover country codes, top commodities, top partners, and detailed bilateral trade values — enough for most queries, with minor gaps like time-series trends or tariff lookups. For the broader Pipeworx data-access scope, the set is extensive (ask_pipeworx, deep_research, entity_profile, validate_claim, subscriptions), so no severe dead ends are apparent.
