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
Behavior5/5

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

The description explains it returns top-N relevant tools with full schemas and examples, ready to call directly. This adds value beyond readOnlyHint and idempotentHint annotations, and does not contradict them.

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 front-loaded with the core purpose, then lists domains, then describes output and usage advice—concise and well-structured without wasted words.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Covers return format and usage context well, but does not explain how relevance ranking works or the exact default limit (though schema covers limit). Still sufficient for a discovery tool.

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%, so baseline is 3. The description does not add significant parameter semantics beyond what the schema already provides (natural language query, aliases, limit).

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 finds tools by describing data or task, and lists specific domains (SEC filings, FDA drugs, etc.), distinguishing it from sibling tools like deep_research or search_within.

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 (not just one answer)', providing clear when-to-use guidance.

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

A3.7/5.0
Disambiguation3/5

Most tools have detailed 'use when' guidance and the polymarket/entity clusters are distinguishable, but ask_pipeworx and ask_pipeworx_beta are currently identical, and ask_pipeworx/ask_pipeworx_grounded/deep_research sit close together. Many other tools (ai_visibility_check vs scan_competitor_ai_presence, bet_research vs polymarket_edges) require careful reading to keep separate.

Naming Consistency3/5

Consistent snake_case and recognizable subfamilies (ask_pipeworx*, polymarket_*, get_*) keep names readable. However the overall set mixes verb_noun (get_schedule, resolve_entity), bare verbs (remember, forget), noun phrases (recent_alerts, pipeworx_trending), and compound noun names (bet_research, polymarket_fill_risk), so there is no single predictable convention.

Tool Count2/5

35 tools is well over the 25+ threshold and spans many unrelated concerns: F1 data, universal data lookup, prediction markets, subscriptions, memory, npm scanning, and AI visibility. While a broad data platform can justify a large surface, the mix of one-off and meta tools makes this feel bloated rather than well-scoped.

Completeness2/5

For a server named F1 the surface is thin: it covers schedule, driver profiles, race results, and driver standings but lacks constructor standings, qualifying, team/circuit data, and a driver list. The surrounding Pipeworx tools provide depth in other domains, but they do not fill the F1-specific gaps.
