Deep Research

deep_research
Read-onlyIdempotent

ACCOUNT REQUIRED (free — sign in via GitHub at https://pipeworx.io/signup; depth:"thorough" needs a paid plan). If you are not signed in, use ask_pipeworx instead — it works on every tier. Grounded multi-source research across Pipeworx's 1517 STRUCTURED data sources (SEC filings, FRED/BLS economics, FDA, USPTO patents, markets, science, government records, etc.) in ONE call — this is NOT open-web search. Decomposes your question into focused facets, routes each to the right one of 5,798 tools IN PARALLEL, and returns a findings packet: verbatim evidence + confidence + source + fetched_at + a stable pipeworx:// citation per finding, with explicit gaps[] for facets the data couldn't answer (never invented). Best for broad/multi-part questions over structured data ("compare X and Y's regulatory + financial exposure", "research the filings + market picture for ACME"). For a single lookup use ask_pipeworx (one LLM call, not many). For BREAKING or colloquial CURRENT-NEWS / "what's the world saying about X" topics, prefer ask_pipeworx — it routes to live news APIs and the *-news-feeds packs; deep_research returns mostly empty gaps[] when the topic isn't in the structured catalog. Second-hop iteration: depth:"standard" re-angles unanswered gaps (gap recovery); depth:"thorough" additionally chases the best leads from the first pass — so multi-step questions resolve in one call. Every finding carries a hop field and a citation_uri — a resolvable pipeworx:// record URI, present only when the source emits one that resources/read can actually serve, so a citation you get back is always fetchable. "standard" and "thorough" also return contradictions[] flagging findings that disagree. Large records are semantically excerpted to the passages relevant to each facet (not head-truncated), so answers deep in a long filing/series aren't missed. Expect 15-60s (thorough with its follow-up + contradiction pass: up to ~90s).

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
depthNoHow many facets to research in parallel: quick=3 (single hop), standard=3 (default; adds a gap-recovery hop that re-angles unanswered facets + a contradictions[] scan across findings), thorough=6 (paid; adds a full iterative hop that chases leads + recovers gaps, plus the contradictions[] scan).
questionYesThe research question, in natural language. Broad/multi-part is fine — decomposition is the point.

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already mark it read-only and idempotent, and the description adds substantial behavioral context: parallel routing to 5,798 tools, findings packet contents, explicit gaps[] for unanswered facets, contradictions[] for standard/thorough, citation resolvability rules, semantic excerpting, auth requirements, and expected latency of 15-90s. This is much more than the annotations alone provide.

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 dense and long, but nearly every clause carries useful information for a complex tool: auth, latency, output shape, citation behavior, and exclusions. It is front-loaded with the account requirement and fallback tool. However, it partly duplicates the schema's depth descriptions and is structured as a single run-on block, which prevents a 5.

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 having no output schema, the description explains the return packet in detail: verbatim evidence, confidence, source, fetched_at, citation URI, gaps[], contradictions[], and the guarantee that findings are never invented. It also covers auth, latency, and what kind of questions fit, making the tool fully usable without hidden context.

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 coverage is 100%, and the schema already thoroughly documents both 'question' and 'depth', including the exact facet counts, paid tier, gap-recovery hop, and contradictions[] behavior. The description repeats much of this rather than adding substantial new parameter-level meaning, so it stays at the baseline for high schema coverage.

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 'Grounded multi-source research' over Pipeworx's structured data sources, decomposing questions into facets and returning a findings packet. It explicitly distinguishes itself from open-web search and from ask_pipeworx, and positions itself for broad/multi-part questions, so an agent can differentiate it from siblings.

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?

The description gives explicit when-to-use and when-not-to-use guidance: 'If you are not signed in, use ask_pipeworx instead', 'For a single lookup use ask_pipeworx', and 'Best for broad/multi-part questions over structured data'. This makes the selection boundary unambiguous.

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

A4.2/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have distinct purposes with detailed descriptions; however, the family of ask_pipeworx tools (beta, grounded) and deep_research could cause selection ambiguity despite clear documentation.

Naming Consistency3/5

Tool names lack a consistent pattern; they mix imperatives, descriptive nouns, and domain prefixes. While overall readable, the lack of uniformity makes it harder to predict naming conventions.

Tool Count4/5

34 tools is on the higher side but still within reasonable range given the broad scope (data queries, prediction markets, scraping, subscriptions, memory). Each tool appears purposeful, though some consolidation (e.g., ask_pipeworx variants) could reduce count.

Completeness4/5

The tool set covers a wide range of tasks from data querying to prediction market analysis and entity management. Minor gaps might exist (e.g., no direct social media data), but the overall coverage is extensive and sufficient for the platform's purpose.
