"What's new with X" / "latest on Y" / "what happened to Z this week / month / quarter" / "updates on Acme" / "news on Tesla recently" / "what's happening with Apple" — change feed for a company in the last N days/weeks/months in ONE parallel call. Fans out to SEC EDGAR (filings since since), GDELT→GNews fallback (news mentions in window — GDELT preferred, GNews when rate-limited or 5xx), USPTO (patents granted; PatentsView API sunset May 2025 so this soft-fails until reactivated). since accepts ISO date ("2026-04-01") or relative shorthand ("7d", "30d", "3m", "1y"). Returns structured changes[] grouped by source + total_changes count + pipeworx:// citation URIs. Use entity_profile instead when you want the static profile (filings + fundamentals + LEI + patents) regardless of window.

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and idempotentHint. Description adds significant behavioral detail: single parallel call, fan-out to multiple sources, fallback logic (GDELT→GNews on rate limit/5xx), USPTO soft-fail until May 2025, and return structure (grouped changes, total count, citation URIs). 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?

Single paragraph, front-loaded with example queries. Every sentence adds essential information (sources, fallback, parameter examples, relationship to sibling). No wasted words; perfect density for a complex tool.

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?

Given the tool's complexity (multiple data sources, fallback logic, multiple input formats, no output schema), the description covers all necessary aspects: input constraints, source behavior, return structure. Even mentions soft-fail and sunset dates. Fully prepares an agent for correct invocation.

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 is 3. Description adds value by giving concrete examples for 'since' (ISO date and relative shorthand like '7d', '30d'), recommending typical monitoring window ('30d' or '1m'), clarifying 'value' accepts ticker or zero-padded CIK, and noting 'type' is only company. These extras elevate clarity beyond 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?

Description clearly states it provides a change feed for a company over a time window, listing sources (SEC EDGAR, GDELT/GNews, USPTO) and distinguishing from sibling entity_profile for static profiles. Specific verb 'change feed' along with example queries ('What's new with X') make purpose immediately clear.

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 gives use cases ('What's new with X') and when-not-to-use (entity_profile for static profile). Also describes fallback behavior between GDELT and GNews, and soft-fail for USPTO. Provides clear context for invocation.

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

A4/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have distinct purposes with detailed descriptions. However, the three ask_pipeworx variants (standard, beta, grounded) and the five polymarket tools (arbitrage, edges, edge_tracker, fill_risk, kalshi_spread) have overlapping functionality that could confuse an agent if descriptions are not carefully parsed. The memory tools (remember, recall, forget) are clear. Overall, the set is mostly disambiguated.

Naming Consistency3/5

Tool names use snake_case consistently, but naming patterns vary: some follow verb_noun (e.g., ai_visibility_check, compare_entities), others are noun_noun (e.g., bet_research, entity_profile), and a few are single verbs (e.g., recall, remember, forget, subscribe). This mixed pattern reduces predictability, though the names are still readable.

Tool Count2/5

At 35 tools, the server is overly broad, covering Belgian rail, Pipeworx data queries, prediction markets, memory, subscriptions, and more. The server name 'Irail' suggests a focused rail toolset, but rail is only a small part. This scope mismatch and high tool count make it feel bloated and less coherent.

Completeness4/5

Within each subdomain, the tool surface is fairly complete. Belgian rail has journey planning, liveboard, train tracking, and disturbances. Data querying has universal, grounded, deep research, entity profiles, comparisons, recent changes, and claim validation. Prediction markets have arbitrage, edge detection, edge tracking, fill risk, and cross-venue spread. Memory and subscriptions are covered. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no tool for deleting entities or canceling orders), but overall coverage is strong.
