Search Within a Source

search_within
Read-onlyIdempotent

Semantic search INSIDE a fetched record. Pass the text you already pulled (e.g. a SEC 10-K body, an article, a long tool result) plus a natural-language query; get back the top-N passages with character offsets and similarity scores. Use when the record is too big to cram into the prompt — search_within saves context, returns only the passages that matter, and every passage carries an offset so the agent can verify a verbatim quote. Pairs with ask_pipeworx_grounded: fetch with the gateway, ground over the relevant passages instead of the whole document. BGE-base-en embeddings + cosine over 500-char overlapping windows; cap is 200K chars (longer inputs are truncated and flagged).

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
textYesThe document text to search inside (max ~200K chars).
limitNoMax passages to return (1-20, default 5).
queryYesNatural-language query — what passages do you want? E.g. "supply-chain risk", "fiscal year 2024 revenue", "drug interactions with warfarin".

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations indicate readOnly, openWorld, idempotent, and non-destructive. Description adds technical details: BGE-base-en embeddings, cosine similarity, 500-char overlapping windows, 200K char cap with truncation and flagging. Provides operational constraints 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 well-structured and front-loaded with purpose and usage. Every sentence adds value; no fluff. Exactly 4 sentences: purpose, use-case, pairing, technical details.

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?

No output schema, but description explains return type: top-N passages with character offsets and similarity scores. Covers parameters, behavior, limitations (200K chars, truncation). Sufficient for an AI agent to understand the tool's functionality and expected output.

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 description coverage is 100% for all 3 parameters. Description adds limited value: clarifies 'max ~200K chars' for text and provides example queries. Baseline 3 is appropriate as schema already does heavy lifting.

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?

Description clearly states 'Semantic search INSIDE a fetched record' with specific verb (search) and resource (record). It distinguishes from sibling tools like ask_pipeworx_grounded by noting that it searches within a fetched document.

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 to use 'when the record is too big to cram into the prompt' and explains benefits (saves context, returns passages with offsets). Pairs with ask_pipeworx_grounded for grounded responses. No explicit when-not-to-use, 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.

A3.6/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Many tools have overlapping purposes, especially in the prediction market domain (e.g., bet_research, polymarket_edges, polymarket_arbitrage, polymarket_fill_risk) and data querying (ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research). This overlap creates confusion for an agent selecting the right tool.

Naming Consistency2/5

Naming is inconsistent: most tools use snake_case but some start with a verb (ask_, bet_, compare_) while others start with a noun (entity_profile, pipeworx_feedback, polymarket_*). There is no uniform pattern, making it harder to predict tool names.

Tool Count2/5

With 32 tools, the server is overstuffed for a single focus. It bundles checksums, AI visibility, data queries, prediction market analysis, subscriptions, memory, and more, which would be better split into separate, more focused servers.

Completeness2/5

Despite the large tool count, the server lacks completeness in key areas: no tool to place prediction market trades, no direct SEC filing detail extraction (only through generic queries), and only two checksum tools despite the server name 'Crc'. The surface feels scattershot rather than comprehensive.
