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.

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the annotations (readOnly, openWorld, idempotent), the description discloses meaningful behavioral context: it fans out to external services, may take 5-30s for first bundlephobia measurement, and degrades gracefully with partial failures via the sources_failed field. This adds substantial value beyond the structured 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 long but every sentence carries information: purpose, sources, use cases, return fields, ecosystem limitation, and failure behavior. It is well-structured and front-loaded, though slightly dense; a 4 reflects that it earns its length without being overly verbose.

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 explains return values (summary block, per-advisory detail, links, alternative versions) and covers latency, partial failures, and ecosystem scope. This is complete for the tool's complexity, leaving no major gaps for an agent to infer.

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?

The schema already covers both parameters with clear descriptions (package name, version defaulting to latest). The description reinforces the npm ecosystem but does not add substantial new parameter semantics. Baseline 3 is appropriate given 100% 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's purpose: a composite 'should I add this npm package' check combining deps.dev and bundlephobia data. It specifies the exact sources (deps.dev, bundlephobia) and the output fields, making it distinct from sibling tools like scan_competitor_ai_presence.

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 is provided: 'Use whenever an agent asks "is X safe / popular / small" or "what does adding lodash cost me"'. It also states when NOT to use it (non-NPM packages fall under deps.dev directly), giving clear exclusions and alternative paths.

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

B3.3/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Many tools have overlapping functionality, such as ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, and ask_pipeworx_grounded, which are essentially the same with minor differences. The polymarket_* family also has five tools with similar names and purposes, making it easy to select the wrong one despite detailed descriptions.

Naming Consistency2/5

Tool names mix verb-first patterns (ask, generate, list, remember) with noun-first patterns (entity_profile, polymarket_arbitrage), and include camelCase like ai_visibility_check. This inconsistent naming style makes the set feel arbitrary and harder to navigate.

Tool Count3/5

With 36 tools, the server exceeds the typical well-scoped range of 3-15. While the multi-purpose nature justifies a larger set, the presence of many near-duplicates (beta/grounded variants, multiple polymarket tools) inflates the count without proportional functional gain.

Completeness4/5

The toolset covers a wide array of domains including translation, entity resolution, financial data, prediction markets, memory, subscriptions, and AI visibility. It appears very comprehensive for its intended multi-purpose server, with no obvious major gaps in core capabilities.
