Discover Tools

discover_tools
Read-onlyIdempotent

Find tools by describing the data or task. Use when you need to browse, search, look up, or discover what tools exist for: SEC filings, financials, revenue, profit, FDA drugs, adverse events, FRED economic data, Census demographics, BLS jobs/unemployment/inflation, ATTOM real estate, ClinicalTrials, USPTO patents, weather, news, crypto, stocks. Returns the top-N most relevant tools with names, descriptions, and full input schemas (with curated examples) — each result is ready to call directly, no second schema lookup needed. Call this FIRST when you have many tools available and want to see the option set (not just one answer).

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true. The description adds that returns 'top-N most relevant tools with names, descriptions, and full input schemas (with curated examples) — each result is ready to call directly, no second schema lookup needed,' providing valuable behavioral detail 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.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is front-loaded with purpose and includes a comprehensive list of data domains, but is slightly long. Still, every sentence adds value, earning a 4.

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?

For a discovery tool with no output schema, the description fully covers what the tool returns (tools with schemas and examples) and how to use it, making it complete and actionable.

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%, so baseline is 3. The description mentions the query parameter and limit, and lists aliases for query, but adds little semantic depth beyond what the schema already provides.

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 'Find tools by describing the data or task' and enumerates many specific data domains (SEC filings, FDA drugs, etc.), making the tool's purpose highly specific and distinguishing it from siblings like search or compare_entities.

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 instruction to 'Call this FIRST when you have many tools available and want to see the option set (not just one answer)' provides clear when-to-use guidance and implies not to use when you already know the tool.

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

Several tool families overlap heavily: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta (currently identical), ask_pipeworx_grounded, and deep_research all route to the same underlying catalog, while bet_research, polymarket_edges, and polymarket_arbitrage all surface prediction-market opportunities. The detailed descriptions mitigate some confusion, but an agent must read carefully to avoid selecting the wrong member of these overlapping groups.

Naming Consistency3/5

The set is consistently snake_case and many tools follow verb_noun conventions like list_datasets, get_series, find_series, and validate_claim. However, a large minority are noun-led names such as entity_profile, deep_research, bet_research, pipeworx_feedback, and polymarket_arbitrage, so there is no single predictable naming pattern across the whole server.

Tool Count2/5

At 36 tools, this is well above the 25+ threshold for an over-heavy surface, and the set spans DBnomics data, prediction markets, memory, subscriptions, npm auditing, llms.txt generation, and AI-visibility checks. Several near-duplicate meta-tools could be consolidated, and unrelated domains would be better split into separate servers.

Completeness4/5

Core workflows are well covered: DBnomics browse/fetch/search, company resolve/profile/compare/change, prediction-market discovery and fill-risk, and memory/subscription lifecycles are all represented. Minor gaps exist, such as no subscription-update operation and no direct single-dataset detail fetch without listing, but agents can work around them.
