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?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint=false. The description adds substantial behavioral details beyond these: returns top-N passages with character offsets and similarity scores, uses BGE-base-en embeddings, 500-char overlapping windows, a 200K char cap with truncation and flagging. These are important runtime behaviors that annotations do not capture.

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 five sentences, but every sentence contributes unique information: what it does, what to pass, when to use it, how it pairs with siblings, and technical implementation. There is no fluff or repetition. The opening sentence front-loads the core purpose.

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?

Despite having no output schema, the description explains the return format (passages with offsets and similarity scores) and key limiting behaviors (200K cap, truncation flag). It covers the full context needed for an agent to decide when and how to invoke the tool, including pairing with another tool. The description is complete for this tool's complexity.

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 description need not repeat parameter descriptions. It adds value by giving concrete examples of what to pass (SEC 10-K body, article, long tool result) and sample queries (supply-chain risk, fiscal year 2024 revenue). It also clarifies the truncation cap in relation to the 'text' parameter. This exceeds the baseline, though it doesn't exhaustively detail every parameter.

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 starts with a specific verb+resource: 'Semantic search INSIDE a fetched record.' It clearly distinguishes from siblings by contrasting with 'ask_pipeworx_grounded' and the idea of grounding over the whole document. It also specifies the output (passages with offsets and similarity scores), making the tool's function unambiguous.

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 states when to use it: 'Use when the record is too big to cram into the prompt — search_within saves context, returns only the passages that matter.' It also names an alternative/complement: 'Pairs with ask_pipeworx_grounded: fetch with the gateway, ground over the relevant passages instead of the whole document.' This goes beyond implied usage to give actionable guidance.

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

B3.4/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Several tools occupy nearly the same role: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, and ask_pipeworx_grounded are deliberately near-duplicates, while deep_research, validate_claim, bet_research, and the polymarket_* family all route factual questions to overlapping data pipelines. Generic single-word tools like get, search, structure, and author add further ambiguity, making it hard for an agent to confidently pick the right tool.

Naming Consistency3/5

Names are consistently lowercase snake_case, but they mix verb_noun tools (list_subscriptions, resolve_entity, validate_claim) with bare nouns (author, get, search, structure) and domain-prefixed families (ask_pipeworx, polymarket_*, pipeworx_*). The conventions are readable but not predictable enough to infer behavior from the name alone.

Tool Count2/5

35 tools is heavy for a single server, especially when many are meta-routers or near-variants of each other. The broad data-research scope justifies some breadth, but the surface feels padded with overlapping research and prediction-market tools rather than a tight, well-scoped set.

Completeness4/5

For its apparent purpose — authoritative data lookup, verification, research, entity profiling, prediction-market analysis, and monitoring — the surface is largely complete: retrieval, grounded answers, deep research, comparison, change tracking, subscriptions, and memory are all covered. Minor gaps exist, such as no direct tool for managing alert delivery or for some of the vague HAL-style operations, but agents can work around these via the router tools.
