Entity Profile

entity_profile
Read-onlyIdempotent

"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.

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the annotations (readOnly, openWorld, idempotent, non-destructive), the description discloses fan-out behavior across many data sources, soft-fail semantics for the USPTO API, that empty sections mean real 'no data' rather than bugs, that private companies return resolved:false with a notes line, and which sources are used/failed. This is rich, non-obvious behavioral context.

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?

It is long and dense, but the complexity of the tool justifies the detail. The description front-loads example user intents and the ALWAYS PREFER directive, and every subsequent clause adds operational knowledge. A more structured list would improve readability, but nothing is filler.

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?

With no output schema, the description fully compensates by enumerating the returned fields (cik, company_name, recent_filings, fundamentals, patents, federal_contracts, fda_products, hiring, news, LEI, sources_used/sources_failed) and clarifying edge cases like empty sections, soft-fails, and private companies. An agent has enough to invoke it correctly and interpret results.

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 the schema already documents type and value. The description adds meaningful nuance: ticker, zero-padded CIK, or company name are all accepted; type values 'company' and 'ticker' are interchangeable; names resolve via SEC EDGAR company-name match; and person/place support is pending. This goes beyond merely restating 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 states a specific purpose: producing a full cross-source profile of a US public company in one parallel call, with concrete example queries. It distinguishes itself from chained single-source lookups and sibling tools by emphasizing the holistic, multi-source nature and the ALWAYS PREFER guidance.

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?

The description gives explicit triggers ('Tell me about X', 'research Acme', 'brief me on Tesla') and explicitly says ALWAYS PREFER it over chaining single-pack SEC/XBRL/news lookups for holistic views. It does not name sibling alternatives like compare_entities or resolve_entity, but the usage context is clear enough for an agent to select it appropriately.

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

A4.1/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have distinct purposes, but some overlap exists between ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_grounded, and deep_research, which all query Pipeworx data in different modes. However, their descriptions clearly differentiate them. Similarly, memory and subscription tools are separate. Overall, an agent can distinguish tools with moderate effort.

Naming Consistency4/5

Tool names mostly follow verb_noun pattern with snake_case, such as ask_pipeworx, compare_entities, generate_llms_txt. However, a few tools like 'datasets', 'metadata', and 'query' are single nouns, breaking the pattern. Overall, naming is consistent enough for an agent to predict behavior.

Tool Count3/5

33 tools is above the typical range for an MCP server, but the server covers a wide domain (SEC, FRED, FDA, prediction markets, etc.) with specialized tools. The count is borderline heavy but justifiable given the scope. Some tools like memory and subscription management add to the count but serve necessary auxiliary functions.

Completeness4/5

The tool surface is comprehensive for its intended domain of structured data querying and analysis. It covers data retrieval, entity resolution, comparison, news, subscriptions, and memory. Minor gaps include dependency scanning only for npm and lack of direct web search, but meta-tools like ask_pipeworx fill many needs. Overall, it supports common workflows well.
