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

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond annotations, describes embedding model, chunk strategy, character cap, offset feature, and truncation behavior. No contradiction with readOnly/idempotent hints.

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?

Three concise, front-loaded sentences covering purpose, usage, and technical details. No wasted words.

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 no output schema, description covers output format (passages, offsets, scores), technical constraints, and pairing context. Complete for a complex tool.

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 baseline 3. Description adds value by providing query examples and confirming limit range, but largely repeats schema. Slight step above baseline.

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, using specific verbs and resource. It distinguishes from siblings by naming ask_pipeworx_grounded and contrasting with using whole documents.

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 record is too big for prompt'), provides pairing advice, and mentions alternatives implicitly.

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

A4/5.0
Disambiguation3/5

Most tools have distinct purposes, but ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, ask_pipeworx_grounded, and deep_research form a confusing cluster—especially since ask_pipeworx_beta is currently identical to ask_pipeworx. The Polymarket tools are highly specialized and mostly separable, and interaction_count/find_interactions have clear but overlapping scopes.

Naming Consistency4/5

The dominant pattern is verb_noun snake_case (ask_pipeworx, compare_entities, resolve_entity, validate_claim), which is predictable and readable. There are some noun-style names like entity_profile, recent_changes, and interaction_count, plus brand-prefixed families like pipeworx_* and polymarket_*, but the conventions are consistent enough within families.

Tool Count2/5

33 tools is beyond the 25+ threshold and the set spans several unrelated domains—molecular interactions, npm dependency scanning, llms.txt generation, AI brand visibility, and prediction-market arbitrage—making it feel like multiple servers merged into one. Several niche tools could be consolidated or split into separate MCP servers, and ask_pipeworx_beta adds redundancy.

Completeness4/5

Core workflows are very well covered: lookup/grounded answering/deep research, tool discovery, entity resolution, profiles and comparisons, claim validation, memory CRUD, subscription lifecycle, and prediction-market analysis from edge detection to fill-risk. Minor gaps include no direct fetch tool for pipeworx:// citation URIs and some soft-failing data sources, but agents can work around those.
