Discover Tools

discover_tools
Read-onlyIdempotent

Find tools by describing the data or task. Use when you need to browse, search, look up, or discover what tools exist for: SEC filings, financials, revenue, profit, FDA drugs, adverse events, FRED economic data, Census demographics, BLS jobs/unemployment/inflation, ATTOM real estate, ClinicalTrials, USPTO patents, weather, news, crypto, stocks. Returns the top-N most relevant tools with names, descriptions, and full input schemas (with curated examples) — each result is ready to call directly, no second schema lookup needed. Call this FIRST when you have many tools available and want to see the option set (not just one answer).

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint as safe. Description adds value by explaining result format: 'returns the top-N most relevant tools with names, descriptions, and full input schemas (with curated examples) — each result is ready to call directly, no second schema lookup needed.' 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 purpose and usage guidance. The list of example domains is somewhat lengthy but provides concrete context. No unnecessary sentences; each sentence earns its place.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given no output schema, the description adequately describes the return format (top-N relevant tools with schemas). The parameter explanations are complete, and the usage context is clear. Could hint at pagination or ordering, but not necessary for this complexity level.

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%, baseline 3. Description adds context: explains that the query accepts multiple aliases (task, q, search, description) and is a natural language input. Also clarifies default and max for limit. This is useful beyond the schema property descriptions.

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?

Clear verb+resource: 'Find tools by describing the data or task.' It distinguishes from sibling tools that are specific data lookups or actions, establishing discover_tools as a meta-tool for exploring the option set.

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?

Explicit when-to-use: 'Call this FIRST when you have many tools available and want to see the option set (not just one answer).' Also lists specific domains, implying alternatives are the sibling tools for those domains.

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

A3.6/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

The tool set has several overlapping families: ask_pipeworx and ask_pipeworx_beta are explicitly identical right now, the discovery tools (list_datasets, discover_tools, suggest_questions) all serve a 'what can I do here' purpose, and ai_visibility_check is wrapped by scan_competitor_ai_presence. The polymarket_* tools are well-differentiated, but the heavy overlap in the meta-tools makes selection error-prone.

Naming Consistency2/5

Naming is a mix of conventions with no unifying pattern: family prefixes appear as ask_pipeworx_*, pipeworx_*, and polymarket_*, while unrelated tools use bare nouns (entity_profile, recent_changes), verb-first names (validate_claim, search_within), and inconsistent styles. The three actual FEMA tools (disaster_declarations, list_datasets, query_dataset) share no prefix that ties them to the server's stated name.

Tool Count2/5

34 tools exceeds the 'too many' threshold, and the count is unjustified by the server's apparent scope: only 3 of 34 tools relate to OpenFEMA data, with the remaining 31 being a grab-bag of Pipeworx routing, Polymarket betting, memory, subscription, and AI-visibility utilities. The bulk is either redundant with the meta-routers or off-domain for a server named 'Openfema'.

Completeness2/5

For FEMA specifically, list_datasets + query_dataset covers generic read-only access and disaster_declarations adds a convenience wrapper, but the domain is extremely thin and lacks FEMA-specific conveniences (e.g., geographic aggregation, multi-dataset joins, incident summaries). For the broader Pipeworx universe the routing coverage is actually decent, but that makes the FEMA-named server's surface feel incoherent — an agent expecting a FEMA toolset finds most of its value in unrelated prediction-market and brand-visibility tools.
