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.

A5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the readOnly/openWorld/idempotent annotations, the description reveals important runtime behavior: parallel fan-out across many sources, USPTO soft-fail due to API sunset, empty sections meaning genuine no-data rather than bugs, and resolved:false with notes for private companies. This is exactly the contextual detail agents need.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is long, but every sentence carries operational value: usage examples, preferred-use guidance, source list, output structure, failure semantics, and accepted inputs. It is front-loaded with the core purpose and ends with parameter clarification, making it well organized for a tool of this complexity.

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 every returned section (filings, fundamentals, patents, contracts, FDA products, hiring, news, LEI) and explaining failure semantics. It covers inputs, output shape, edge cases, and source-specific caveats, so an agent has enough guidance to invoke it correctly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Although the schema already covers the two parameters, the description adds meaning: accepted value shapes (ticker, zero-padded CIK, name), name resolution via SEC EDGAR, and the interchangeability of the type enum. It also clarifies that both type values behave identically, which is not obvious from the schema alone.

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 opens with concrete user phrasings and states a specific action: producing a full cross-source profile of a US public company in one parallel call. It clearly differentiates itself from chaining single-pack lookups, so an agent can tell when this tool applies.

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?

It explicitly says to prefer this over chaining single-pack SEC/XBRL/news lookups when the user wants a holistic view. It also documents accepted input forms and the private-company edge case, giving clear context for when and how to invoke it.

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

A3.8/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have clearly distinct purposes with detailed descriptions. Potential confusion exists between similar tools like ask_pipeworx and ask_pipeworx_grounded, but the descriptions differentiate them well. The high number of tools across multiple domains could still cause some ambiguity, but overall an agent can distinguish them.

Naming Consistency3/5

Naming patterns are mixed. Some subgroups follow consistent patterns (polymarket_*, pipeworx_*, get_*), but overall the set includes verb_noun (list_subscriptions, get_rate, remember) and noun_verb (entity_profile, deep_research) without a unified convention. The mixture of imperative and descriptive names reduces predictability.

Tool Count2/5

34 tools is excessive for a single server, bundling unrelated domains (currency, memory, data query, prediction markets, dependency scanning). This scope could be split into multiple servers for better coherence. The high count may overwhelm agents and increases the risk of misselection.

Completeness3/5

Each sub-domain (e.g., currency, memory, Polymarket) has reasonable coverage with common operations present. However, the server name 'exchange' is misleading—it suggests a narrower focus. Some gaps exist (e.g., no batch currency conversion, no direct Polymarket market detail tool). Overall, the set covers many tasks but lacks a unified purpose.
