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

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already show readOnly and idempotent. The description adds technical details: BGE-base-en embeddings, cosine similarity, 500-char overlapping windows, 200K char cap with truncation, and character offsets for verification. No contradiction.

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?

Highly efficient single paragraph: purpose first, usage guidance, technical details. Every sentence adds value with no redundancy.

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 clearly states what is returned (top-N passages with offsets and scores) and explains internal behavior. Complete for a search tool with this complexity.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema already describes all parameters (100% coverage) with max chars and example queries. The description repeats this information without adding new semantic meaning beyond the schema.

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 clearly states the tool does semantic search inside a fetched record, with concrete examples (SEC 10-K, article). It distinguishes itself from siblings by mentioning pairing with ask_pipeworx_grounded and highlighting that it reduces context usage.

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: 'when the record is too big to cram into the prompt' and provides a specific alternative workflow ('Pairs with ask_pipeworx_grounded'). This gives clear context and avoids misuse.

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
Disambiguation3/5

The tool set includes many similarly-named tools, especially the 'ask_pipeworx' variants and the multiple polymarket tools, which could cause confusion. However, each tool has a detailed description specifying its unique purpose, so an agent reading carefully can distinguish them.

Naming Consistency2/5

Naming is inconsistent across the set: Huggingface tools use 'get_', 'list_', 'search_' prefixes, while Pipeworx tools use varied verbs like 'ask_pipeworx', 'bet_research', 'entity_profile', and others. There is no overall pattern or convention, making it harder to predict tool names.

Tool Count2/5

With 41 tools, the server is heavily loaded. While each tool has a distinct role, the scope combines two large domains (Huggingface and Pipeworx), leading to a tool count well above the typical 3-15 range for a focused server.

Completeness3/5

The server covers a wide range of functionalities: Huggingface model/dataset queries, Pipeworx data lookups, subscription management, and memory tools. However, it lacks write operations for Huggingface (e.g., uploading models/datasets) and some lifecycle operations, leaving noticeable gaps.
