Entity Profile

"Tell me about X" / "research Acme" / "brief me on Tesla" / "what does Apple do" / "company profile for Microsoft" / "give me the rundown on NVDA" / "everything you know about $TICKER" — full cross-source profile of a US public company in ONE parallel call. ALWAYS PREFER over chaining single-pack SEC/XBRL/news lookups when the user asks for a holistic view. Fans out across SEC EDGAR, XBRL, USPTO patents, federal contracts (USAspending), FDA-licensed biologics (Purple Book), H-1B hiring (DOL LCA), news and GLEIF, and returns: cik + company_name (+ resolved_from/resolved_to when value was a name); recent_filings (up to 5 with pipeworx://edgar/company/{cik}/filings/{accession} URIs); fundamentals (LATEST 10-K Revenues + NetIncomeLoss + Cash, sorted period_end DESC); patents (USPTO PatentsView API sunset May 2025 — soft-fails until reactivated); federal_contracts (USAspending awards where the company is the recipient); fda_products (FDA-licensed biologics — vaccines, cell/gene therapies — from the Purple Book; a company with only small-molecule/generic drugs will show none here, that is expected, not a failure); hiring (H-1B sponsorship volume + salary range from DOL LCA filings); recent news mentions via GDELT→GNews fallback; LEI via GLEIF. sources_used / sources_failed say which of these actually returned data for THIS company — an empty section is a real "no data", not a bug. Pass a ticker ("AAPL"), zero-padded CIK ("0000320193"), OR a company name ("Moderna") — names now resolve via SEC EDGAR's company-name match; a private company (no CIK/ticker) returns resolved:false with an explicit notes line, not a bare failure. type accepts "company" or "ticker" interchangeably — both take the same value shapes above.

TDQS

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare read-only, open-world, idempotent, non-destructive behavior, and the description adds substantial operational context: it fans out across multiple named sources, soft-fails when USPTO is sunset, returns genuinely empty sections rather than errors, and returns resolved:false for private companies. This goes well beyond what annotations convey.

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 long but every sentence carries distinct operational information: triggers, preference, source list, return fields, input forms, failure modes, and expected empty behavior. It is front-loaded with usage guidance and organized so an agent can quickly extract the call pattern and success criteria.

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?

There is no output schema, so the description must carry the burden of explaining return values, and it does thoroughly: it enumerates cik/company_name, recent_filings, fundamentals, patents, federal_contracts, fda_products, hiring, news, LEI, and sources_used/failed. It also covers error semantics, source-specific caveats, and input alternatives, making it complete for a tool of this complexity.

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%, so baseline is 3. The description adds useful behavioral nuance beyond the schema, such as name resolution via SEC EDGAR, resolved_from/resolved_to for name inputs, and that 'company' and 'ticker' are interchangeable, which helps an agent choose and format values correctly.

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 opens with concrete user-phrase triggers and identifies the exact action: builds a full cross-source profile of a US public company in one parallel call. It clearly distinguishes this holistic tool from chaining single-pack SEC/XBRL/news lookups, and the 'company profile'/research intent is unmistakable.

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?

It explicitly states 'ALWAYS PREFER over chaining single-pack SEC/XBRL/news lookups when the user asks for a holistic view,' giving an unambiguous usage directive and naming the alternative it supersedes. It also specifies accepted input forms and expected behavior for private companies, which tells the agent when the tool will and will not succeed.

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

A3.5/5.0
Disambiguation1/5

Multiple tools (ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research) have overlapping research purposes. Additionally, many Polymarket and Pipeworx-specific tools are unrelated to the Connecticut Open Data server name, causing confusion.

Naming Consistency2/5

Naming is highly inconsistent: some use snake_case (ask_pipeworx, resolve_entity), others use longer descriptive phrases (polymarket_fill_risk, scan_competitor_ai_presence), with no clear pattern.

Tool Count1/5

The server claims to be about Connecticut Open Data but includes 34 tools, only 3 of which (datasets, metadata, query) are relevant. The vast majority are unrelated Pipeworx/Prediction Market tools, making the size inappropriate.

Completeness1/5

For Connecticut Open Data coverage, only basic dataset search, metadata, and query tools exist. Missing common operations like data upload, schema modification, or API key management for the open data portal.
