"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.

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Describes multi-source fan-out, fallback behavior (GDELT→GNews), and soft-fail for USPTO after May 2025. Annotations already indicate read-only and non-destructive nature; the description adds behavioral detail without contradiction.

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?

Front-loaded with concrete query examples, but description length is justified by covering multiple sources and fallback logic. Could trim slightly but retains necessary detail.

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, fallback, soft-fail) and absence of output schema, the description fully explains return structure (changes[], total_changes, URIs) and edge cases.

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 coverage is 100%, baseline 3. Description adds value by clarifying 'since' accepts ISO or relative shorthand with examples, 'value' as ticker or CIK, and 'type' enumeration scope.

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 defines the tool as a change feed for a company in a time window, with specific verb+resource and example queries. It distinguishes from sibling 'entity_profile' by specifying static vs. change-oriented use cases.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly states when to use alternative tool 'entity_profile' for static data. Provides context for typical monitoring durations but lacks explicit when-not-to-use scenarios beyond that.

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
Disambiguation2/5

Several tools have heavily overlapping purposes: ask_pipeworx_beta is explicitly identical to ask_pipeworx, and the multiple Polymarket tools (polymarket_edges, polymarket_arbitrage, bet_research, polymarket_edge_tracker, polymarket_fill_risk) all surface betting opportunities with only subtle differences. The line between ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research, and discover_tools is also fuzzy, making misselection likely.

Naming Consistency3/5

All tool names use snake_case and are readable, but naming conventions are mixed: many follow verb_noun (ask_pipeworx, discover_tools, list_foreign_principals), while others use noun-first or adjective_noun (entity_profile, polymarket_arbitrage, recent_alerts). Several tools share the 'pipeworx_' or 'polymarket_' prefix without that prefix meaning a consistent action type.

Tool Count2/5

34 tools is high for a single MCP server, and the scope spans unrelated domains (general data lookup, prediction-market analytics, FARA registrations, memory, subscriptions, AI-visibility monitoring). This feels like several servers merged rather than one cohesive set; many tools could be split into focused modules without losing functionality.

Completeness4/5

Core workflows are well covered: flexible data querying (ask_pipeworx, grounded, deep_research), entity resolution, FARA search/document retrieval, memory CRUD, subscription lifecycle, and claim validation. There are minor gaps such as no direct tool for single-source parameterized queries (everything routes through the universal router) and no account/profile management, but agents can complete the main advertised tasks.
