Scan Dependency

scan_dependency
Read-onlyIdempotent

Composite "should I add this npm package to my project" check in ONE call — fans out across deps.dev (license + advisories + version history) and bundlephobia (gzipped/minified bundle size, dependency count, ESM/tree-shake support). Use whenever an agent asks "is X safe / popular / small" or "what does adding lodash cost me". Returns a summary block (is_latest, license, published_at, advisory_count, bundle_kb_min, bundle_kb_gz, dependency_count, has_esm, tree_shakeable), per-advisory detail, links, and a list of recent alternative versions. NPM ecosystem only in v1; PyPI / Maven / Cargo / Go fall under deps.dev:version directly. Partial failures degrade gracefully — bundlephobia's first measurement on a new version can take 5-30s; sources_failed will list it if it times out, the rest still returns.

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond annotations (readOnlyHint, idempotentHint), the description discloses important behaviors: fans out to multiple services, partial failures degrade gracefully, bundlephobia first measurement may take 5-30s, and sources_failed listing on timeout. No contradiction with 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 a single dense paragraph but well-structured with front-loaded purpose. Every sentence provides value, though slightly verbose with some technical details that could be trimmed.

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 no output schema, the description lists the summary block fields and explains partial failure handling, alternative ecosystems, and timing caveats. It is remarkably 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% with clear descriptions. The description adds extra context: scoped packages are accepted for the package parameter, and version defaults to latest when omitted. This adds meaning 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 performs a composite check for adding an npm package, covering licenses, advisories, version history, and bundle size. It specifies the output and ecosystem (NPM only), distinguishing it from any 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 Guidelines5/5

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

Explicit usage guidance: 'Use whenever an agent asks "is X safe / popular / small" or "what does adding lodash cost me".' Also states alternatives for other ecosystems (PyPI, Maven, etc.) via deps.dev:version directly.

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

A3.9/5.0
Disambiguation3/5

Several tools overlap in purpose: ask_pipeworx and ask_pipeworx_beta are explicitly identical right now, and ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research, and validate_claim all query the same underlying data catalog in similar ways. The descriptions provide detailed usage guidance, but the query family and the five-strong Polymarket family still create real misselection risk. Memory, subscription, and FCC tools are clearly distinct.

Naming Consistency4/5

Tool names are consistently snake_case and mostly follow recognizable verb_noun or prefixed-family patterns (ask_pipeworx_*, polymarket_*, pipeworx_*). The main deviations are bare one-word names like datasets, metadata, query, remember, and forget, plus a few noun-first names like entity_profile and polymarket_arbitrage. Overall the naming is readable and predictable, with only minor inconsistencies.

Tool Count2/5

At 34 tools, this server is well past the 25+ threshold and feels overloaded. It bundles a general-purpose data-query gateway, FCC open-data access, Polymarket analytics, AI-visibility scanning, memory, subscriptions, npm dependency checks, and llms.txt generation into one surface. Each functional area is small on its own, but the combined set would be more coherent split into several focused servers.

Completeness4/5

The core data lifecycle is well covered: discovery (suggest_questions, discover_tools), single queries (ask_pipeworx), grounded/evidence-backed answers, deep multi-source research, entity resolution/profiling/comparison, change feeds, and fact-checking all exist. FCC open data has search, schema, and query tools, and subscriptions/memory have full CRUD-style coverage. Minor gaps remain (e.g., no direct pipeworx:// URI fetch tool, no enumeration of all discoverable data sources), but they do not block typical workflows.
