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).

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true. The description adds value by explaining the return format (top-N tools with schemas and examples) and that results are ready to call directly, which annotations do not cover.

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 a single paragraph that efficiently communicates purpose, usage, and return value. It is front-loaded with the core action and includes necessary details without redundancy.

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 the parameter count (6, all documented), no output schema, and the tool's discovery nature, the description fully explains what the tool returns and how to use it, leaving no critical gaps.

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 description coverage is 100%. The description further clarifies that multiple alias names (task, q, search, description) map to the query parameter and provides default limit values, adding meaning beyond 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 clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Find tools by describing the data or task.' It lists many domains and explains that it returns top-N relevant tools with full input schemas, distinguishing it from sibling tools like search.

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 advises 'Call this FIRST when you have many tools available and want to see the option set,' providing clear when-to-use and implicitly when-not-to (if the tool is already known).

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
Disambiguation1/5

There is severe overlap among tools: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, and ask_pipeworx_grounded are near-identical variants, and deep_research, discover_tools, and suggest_questions all serve discovery/research purposes. The Discogs-specific tools are distinct, but the large number of redundant Pipeworx tools makes it impossible to tell which one to pick.

Naming Consistency2/5

The Discogs tools follow a clean verb_noun pattern (get_artist, get_label, get_master, get_release), but the majority of the set uses inconsistent, domain-specific names (deep_research, generate_llms_txt, polymarket_arbitrage, scan_competitor_ai_presence). No single naming convention is applied across the server.

Tool Count1/5

With 36 tools, the server is massively over-provisioned for a Discogs-focused API. Most tools (e.g., ask_pipeworx, polymarket_edges, SEC lookups) have nothing to do with Discogs and belong to a separate service. The Discogs surface alone could be served by ~6 tools (search, get_artist, get_label, get_master, get_release, search_within), so the count is wildly inappropriate.

Completeness3/5

For the Discogs domain, the core entities (artist, label, master, release) and full-text search are present, plus semantic search inside records. However, there are gaps like user collections, wantlists, marketplace, and discogs-specific filters beyond format/country. The presence of many unrelated tools does not directly hurt domain coverage, but the Discogs surface is not exhaustive.
