Search Within a Source

search_within
Read-onlyIdempotent

Semantic search INSIDE a fetched record. Pass the text you already pulled (e.g. a SEC 10-K body, an article, a long tool result) plus a natural-language query; get back the top-N passages with character offsets and similarity scores. Use when the record is too big to cram into the prompt — search_within saves context, returns only the passages that matter, and every passage carries an offset so the agent can verify a verbatim quote. Pairs with ask_pipeworx_grounded: fetch with the gateway, ground over the relevant passages instead of the whole document. BGE-base-en embeddings + cosine over 500-char overlapping windows; cap is 200K chars (longer inputs are truncated and flagged).

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
textYesThe document text to search inside (max ~200K chars).
limitNoMax passages to return (1-20, default 5).
queryYesNatural-language query — what passages do you want? E.g. "supply-chain risk", "fiscal year 2024 revenue", "drug interactions with warfarin".

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond annotations (readOnly, idempotent), the description reveals technical details: BGE-base-en embeddings, cosine similarity, 500-char overlapping windows, 200K char cap with truncation flag, and the fact that each passage includes character offsets.

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 a focused, front-loaded paragraph that efficiently conveys purpose, usage, and technical details without redundant or irrelevant sentences.

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 tool's complexity and lack of output schema, the description adequately covers what is returned (passages with offsets and scores), how it works (embedding model, windowing), and constraints (200K cap, truncation flag). No gaps remain.

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%, and the description adds value by providing query examples and clarifying the text limit. However, it does not fully explain the impact of the limit parameter beyond what the schema states, keeping this from a perfect score.

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 it performs semantic search inside a fetched record, using specific verbs and resources. It distinguishes itself from siblings like ask_pipeworx_grounded by explaining that it searches inside already-fetched text, not on external data.

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 says when to use: when the record is too big to fit in the prompt. It also provides guidance on pairing with ask_pipeworx_grounded, and implies when not to use (i.e., when the full document can be included directly).

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.
