Read-onlyIdempotent

"What's new with X" / "latest on Y" / "what happened to Z this week / month / quarter" / "updates on Acme" / "news on Tesla recently" / "what's happening with Apple" — change feed for a company in the last N days/weeks/months in ONE parallel call. Fans out to SEC EDGAR (filings since since), GDELT→GNews fallback (news mentions in window — GDELT preferred, GNews when rate-limited or 5xx), USPTO (patents granted; PatentsView API sunset May 2025 so this soft-fails until reactivated). since accepts ISO date ("2026-04-01") or relative shorthand ("7d", "30d", "3m", "1y"). Returns structured changes[] grouped by source + total_changes count + pipeworx:// citation URIs. Use entity_profile instead when you want the static profile (filings + fundamentals + LEI + patents) regardless of window.

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Discloses internal behavior: fans out to SEC EDGAR, GDELT→GNews fallback, USPTO with soft-fail. Annotations already indicate read-only and idempotent, but description adds crucial context about fallbacks, return structure (changes[] grouped by source, total_changes, citation URIs), and edge cases.

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?

Description is fairly dense but well-structured: starts with example queries, then explains sources, parameters, return format, and alternative tool. Could be slightly more concise (e.g., some redundancy in fallback explanation) but overall efficient and front-loaded.

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?

Given no output schema, the description covers return structure (changes[], total_changes, citation URIs). It also addresses edge cases like soft-fail for patents and fallback mechanism. Contextually complete for a multi-source aggregation tool.

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

Parameters5/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, but description adds significant meaning: explains `since` accepted formats (ISO date or relative like '7d'), `value` can be ticker or CIK, `type` currently only 'company'. Provides concrete examples that help an agent construct correct calls.

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 it's a change feed for a company across multiple sources (SEC, news, patents) and distinguishes from the sibling tool entity_profile for static profiles. The verb 'change feed' with examples like 'what's new with X' makes purpose unambiguous.

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?

Explicitly explains when to use (e.g., 'what's new', 'latest on Y') and when not (use entity_profile for static profile). Provides detailed parameter guidance with examples for `since` (ISO date or relative shorthands) and `value` (ticker or CIK).

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
Disambiguation2/5

Many tools have overlapping purposes, e.g., multiple ask/tools for querying (ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research) and multiple company analysis tools (entity_profile, compare_entities, recent_changes). The prediction market tools (bet_research, polymarket_arbitrage, etc.) further blur distinctions. Agents would frequently select the wrong tool.

Naming Consistency2/5

Naming conventions are inconsistent: snake_case (ask_pipeworx, dataset_info), camelCase (ai_visibility_check, scan_competitor_ai_presence), and phrases (pipeworx_feedback, polymarket_arbitrage). No pattern emerges, making tool discovery harder.

Tool Count2/5

33 tools is excessive for a server ostensibly about Île-de-France Open Data. Only 3 tools (dataset_info, query, search_datasets) relate to that domain, while the rest are a general-purpose data agent with many disjoint capabilities. The count feels bloated and unfocused.

Completeness2/5

For the declared purpose (Île-de-France data), the tool set is missing CRUD operations (no create/update/delete). For the actual general data use, there are gaps like missing person entity resolution, data visualization, and file handling. The deep_research tool requires an account, creating a barrier.
