"What's new with X" / "latest on Y" / "what happened to Z this week / month / quarter" / "updates on Acme" / "news on Tesla recently" / "what's happening with Apple" — change feed for a company in the last N days/weeks/months in ONE parallel call. Fans out to SEC EDGAR (filings since since), GDELT→GNews fallback (news mentions in window — GDELT preferred, GNews when rate-limited or 5xx), USPTO (patents granted; PatentsView API sunset May 2025 so this soft-fails until reactivated). since accepts ISO date ("2026-04-01") or relative shorthand ("7d", "30d", "3m", "1y"). Returns structured changes[] grouped by source + total_changes count + pipeworx:// citation URIs. Use entity_profile instead when you want the static profile (filings + fundamentals + LEI + patents) regardless of window.

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations (readOnlyHint, idempotentHint) are consistent. The description adds detailed behavioral context: fans out to multiple sources, explains GDELT→GNews fallback, notes USPTO soft-fail, and describes output structure with citation URIs. No contradictions.

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 somewhat long but well-structured, front-loading example queries. Every sentence adds value, though minor redundancy could be trimmed.

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 complexity (multiple sources, fallbacks, parameter options, output structure), the description is fully complete. It explains the fallback, date formats, output grouped by source, and alternative tool. No output schema, so the description covers return values adequately.

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?

Schema coverage is 100%. The description adds meaning beyond schema: explains 'since' formats (ISO/relative) with examples, clarifies 'type' is only 'company', and gives examples for 'value' (ticker or CIK). Also recommends default 'since' values.

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 states the tool provides a change feed (SEC filings, news, patents) for a company within a time window, using concrete user queries as examples. It explicitly distinguishes from sibling entity_profile, which is for static profiles.

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?

The description gives explicit when-to-use guidance via example queries ('What's new with X') and explicitly directs users to entity_profile for static profiles. It also recommends typical 'since' values like '30d'.

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

A3.9/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Several tools occupy the same "answer a factual question" niche: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research, validate_claim, and bet_research all route to the same underlying catalog, so an agent must parse subtle differences to pick correctly. scan_competitor_ai_presence also wraps ai_visibility_check, adding another near-duplicate. The detailed descriptions help, but the boundaries are genuinely fuzzy.

Naming Consistency3/5

The set mixes several conventions: fac_*, polymarket_*, and pipeworx_* prefixes coexist with bare verbs (remember, recall, forget, subscribe, unsubscribe) and noun phrases (entity_profile, recent_changes, bet_research). ask_pipeworx_beta/grounded use a suffix pattern while pipeworx_feedback/trending use a prefix, so there is no single predictable scheme. Still, most names are readable and describe what they do.

Tool Count2/5

36 tools is well above the 25+ threshold and creates a heavy surface for any client to load and reason about. The broad data-platform scope explains some of the count, but many tools are meta-variants of the same query/research capability rather than genuinely distinct operations.

Completeness4/5

For the server's apparent purpose—authoritative data lookup, research, prediction-market analysis, and account/feed management—the surface covers the core lifecycle: query, entity resolution, profiles, comparisons, recent changes, claim verification, subscriptions, alerts, and memory. Minor gaps exist (no direct tool to fetch a pipeworx:// citation URI; no raw per-pack access), but most workflows are supported.
