Read-onlyIdempotent

"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.

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false. Description adds rich behavioral context: data sources (SEC, GDELT/GNews, USPTO), fan-out pattern, fallback logic, soft-fail on USPTO, and output format (changes[] with total_changes and 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.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loaded with clear examples and concise problem statement. Description is a bit lengthy but each sentence adds unique value (fallback, edge cases, sibling distinction). Could trim redundant phrasing without loss.

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 3 required params, no output schema, and good annotations, description covers all necessary context: return structure, data sources, fallback, partial failures, and sibling differentiation. No gaps 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 covers all 3 parameters (100%). Description adds value: type restricted to 'company', since accepts ISO or relative shorthand (with examples), value accepts ticker or CIK, and suggests typical since value ('30d'). Slight bonus for usage hint.

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?

Opens with concrete examples (e.g., 'What's new with X'), explicitly states it is a change feed for companies, and contrasts with sibling tool entity_profile for static profiles. The verb 'retrieve' is implicit but clear from context.

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 (change feed for recent updates) and when not to use ('Use entity_profile instead when you want the static profile'). Also explains fallback behavior (GDELT→GNews) and partial failures (USPTO soft-fail).

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

A4.1/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have distinct purposes, but the ask_pipeworx family (including beta and grounded) and deep_research overlap in functionality, causing some ambiguity. The OONI tools are well-differentiated, and other tools are distinct.

Naming Consistency4/5

Naming predominantly follows a verb_noun pattern with underscores, but some tools like generate_llms_txt and pipeworx_feedback deviate slightly. Overall consistent with minor inconsistencies.

Tool Count4/5

35 tools is on the higher side but justified by the broad domain coverage (data lookup, censorship monitoring, prediction markets, memory, etc.). Each tool serves a specific purpose, making the count reasonable.

Completeness4/5

The tool surface covers core workflows comprehensively, including data retrieval, censorship analysis, prediction market evaluation, and memory management. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no subscription modification tool), but overall it's well-scoped.
