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.

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, openWorld, and idempotent hints, and the description adds substantial behavioral context: patents soft-fail, empty sections mean real no-data rather than bugs, private companies return resolved:false with notes, and news uses a GDELT→GNews fallback. It also explains that a company with only small-molecule drugs legitimately has no fda_products. No contradiction with annotations.

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 densely informative; every sentence contributes either usage examples, source coverage, output sections, or edge-case behavior. The purpose is front-loaded, and the response fields are enumerated in a clear, organized sequence. It is appropriately sized for the tool's 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?

There is no output schema, so the description carries the burden of explaining return values, and it does so thoroughly: cik/company_name, recent_filings URIs, fundamentals, patents, federal_contracts, fda_products, hiring, news, LEI, and sources_used/sources_failed. It also covers resolution failures and input flexibility. An agent has enough context to invoke the tool correctly without further inference.

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%, so the baseline is 3, but the description adds real value by clarifying that `type` accepts 'company' or 'ticker' interchangeably regardless of the actual value shape. It reinforces the three accepted value forms (ticker, zero-padded CIK, company name) and explains name resolution via SEC EDGAR, which is not fully 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 intents and a specific deliverable: a full cross-source profile of a US public company in one parallel call. It enumerates the data sources and response sections, and explicitly contrasts itself with chaining single-pack lookups. This makes the tool's purpose unmistakable and distinct from siblings.

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 'ALWAYS PREFER over chaining single-pack SEC/XBRL/news lookups when the user asks for a holistic view,' giving clear when-to-use guidance. It also covers acceptable input forms, private-company fallback behavior, and soft-failure cases. This leaves little ambiguity about when to select this tool.

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

B3.1/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Several tool families overlap heavily: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, and ask_pipeworx_grounded are near-identical entry points, while discover_tools/suggest_questions and entity_profile/compare_entities/recent_changes serve similar discovery/comparison roles. The polymarket_* cluster also has tightly related boundaries that require reading long descriptions to disambiguate, and version-related helper tools (go_mod, module, versions, version_info) add further confusion.

Naming Consistency3/5

Most tools follow a lowercase snake_case verb_noun pattern (list_subscriptions, resolve_entity, validate_claim), but there are notable deviations: bare verbs like remember/recall/forget, noun-only names like go_mod, module, versions, and version_info, and brand-prefixed names like ask_pipeworx and pipeworx_feedback. The naming is readable and generally predictable, yet the mix of conventions keeps it from being highly consistent.

Tool Count2/5

With 35 tools, the surface is heavy for what is ultimately a data-access and research server. Many tools are conveniences or meta-wrappers that could be consolidated (e.g., three ask_pipeworx variants, multiple polymarket scanners, several onboarding/discovery tools). While the breadth is intentional, 35 feels bloated rather than well-scoped.

Completeness4/5

The toolset covers a remarkably broad domain: universal data lookup, grounded fact-checking, entity resolution, company profiles, comparisons, prediction-market analysis, memory, subscriptions, and feedback. Minor gaps exist—subscriptions can be created/cancelled but not updated/paused, and there is no direct resolver for pipeworx:// citation URIs—but these are workable and core workflows have no dead ends.
