AI Visibility Check

ai_visibility_check
Read-onlyIdempotent

Probe one or more LLMs for what they know about a business / brand / product / topic and score visibility (0-100) per model. Default model is Workers AI Llama-3.3-70b (free); pass _apiKey to also probe Anthropic (BYO key — you pay Anthropic directly for those calls). Returns per-model {score, confidence, signals, raw_response} + a combined view. Useful for AI-marketing audits, pre-launch brand checks, competitive monitoring.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
entityYesThe thing to ask about. Brand/business name, product name, person, or topic. E.g. "Pipeworx", "OpenInvoice", "Acme Corp pricing".
modelsNoWhich models to probe. Supported: "workers-ai" (free default), "anthropic" (requires _apiKey). Omit for just workers-ai.
_apiKeyNoOptional Anthropic API key (sk-ant-...) — only needed if "anthropic" is in models. Passed straight through to api.anthropic.com.
contextNoOptional: a phrase locating the entity (e.g. "Boston restaurant", "B2B SaaS"). Helps disambiguate common names.

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

With annotations already declaring readOnly, openWorld, idempotent, and non-destructive behavior, the description adds valuable context: the default model (Workers AI Llama-3.3-70b) is free, passing _apiKey probes Anthropic and charges the user's own key, and the return structure includes per-model {score, confidence, signals, raw_response} plus a combined view. This goes beyond annotations and clarifies cost implications and output format.

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 three sentences and immediately states the core function. It includes the most important operational details (default model, cost implication, return value) and practical use cases without fluff or redundancy. Every sentence earns its place.

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 lacking an output schema, the description fully specifies the return format and per-model fields. It covers the single required parameter and explains optional parameters' roles. Given the tool's moderate complexity and strong annotation support, the description provides enough context for an agent to select and invoke it correctly.

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. The description enhances parameter understanding by stating the default model and that _apiKey is passed through to api.anthropic.com, which clarifies behavior not fully captured in the schema. It also gives example entity values ('Pipeworx', 'OpenInvoice') that illustrate expected input.

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 a specific verb and resource: 'Probe one or more LLMs for what they know about a business / brand / product / topic and score visibility (0-100) per model.' This clearly defines the tool's function and output, distinguishing it from siblings like ask_pipeworx (which answer questions about Pipeworx) and scan_competitor_ai_presence (likely focused on competitors). The purpose is unambiguous and directly stated.

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?

The description provides explicit use cases: 'Useful for AI-marketing audits, pre-launch brand checks, competitive monitoring.' It also explains when to use the optional models and _apiKey parameters. However, it does not explicitly name alternatives or state when NOT to use this tool, so it falls short of a 5.

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

A3.5/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Several tools have overlapping or near-identical purposes, e.g., ask_pipeworx and ask_pipeworx_beta are explicitly described as currently equivalent, and polymarket_arbitrage, polymarket_edges, and bet_research all target prediction-market opportunities. Descriptions help somewhat, but boundaries remain fuzzy for agents.

Naming Consistency2/5

Tool names follow no consistent convention: some are verb-first (get_status_cat, remember), others are noun phrases (entity_profile, deep_research), and many use domain prefixes (ask_pipeworx, polymarket_*, pipeworx_feedback). While snake_case is maintained throughout, the structural pattern is mixed and unpredictable.

Tool Count2/5

At 33 tools, the server is well beyond the typical well-scoped range (3-15). The count is inflated by multiple overlapping meta-tools and unrelated utility groups (HTTP cats, Pipeworx research, prediction markets, memory, subscriptions), making the set feel bloated rather than focused.

Completeness2/5

The server name 'httpcat' implies HTTP status-cat functionality, but only 2 of 33 tools serve that purpose, leaving the named domain largely uncovered. As a general-purpose data server, the collection still has gaps (e.g., no direct trading, no general web search) and appears to be a random assortment of features rather than a coherent product.
