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).

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already disclose read-only, idempotent, non-destructive. Description adds that it returns top-N tools with full schemas and curated examples, ready to call directly, eliminating second lookups. This is useful behavioral context beyond annotations. However, it doesn't mention any limitations or rate limits, and with annotations covering safety, a 4 is appropriate.

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?

Description is somewhat long due to domain list, but every section has purpose: purpose statement, usage triggers, return behavior, and positioning. It's front-loaded with the core verb and resource. The domain list could be trimmed but is informative.

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?

For a discovery tool with no output schema, the description fully explains the return value (top-N tools with names, descriptions, input schemas, curated examples) and its role as a first-call option. It covers both request and response semantics sufficiently.

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 description coverage is 100% with clear parameter descriptions and examples. The description mentions 'query' accepts natural language and 'limit' default/max, which is already in schema. It does add the alias information but that's also in schema. Baseline 3 is correct.

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 'Find tools by describing the data or task' and explicitly positions it as a discovery tool for browsing/searching across many domains, distinguishing it from sibling tools that perform specific data tasks. It also frames it as a first-call meta-tool, setting it apart.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Provides explicit guidance: 'Use when you need to browse, search, look up, or discover what tools exist' and 'Call this FIRST when you have many tools available.' It doesn't explicitly name alternatives or when-not-to-use, but the context is clear.

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

Multiple tools have heavily overlapping purposes: ask_pipeworx and ask_pipeworx_beta are explicitly identical right now, and the polymarket_* family (edges, arbitrage, edge_tracker, fill_risk) blurs together for an agent trying to pick one. entity_profile and recent_changes also both pull company data, and ai_visibility_check vs scan_competitor_ai_presence are single-vs-multi variants of the same probe.

Naming Consistency3/5

Naming is mostly snake_case and readable, with many verb_noun forms (validate_iban, generate_llms_txt, resolve_entity). However, there are bare verbs (remember, forget, recall, subscribe, unsubscribe), noun phrases (entity_profile, recent_changes, pipeworx_trending), and inconsistent prefixes (ask_ vs polymarket_ vs suggest_) that break a clear pattern.

Tool Count3/5

33 tools is borderline-heavy for a data-research API, but the bigger issue is that the server is named Openiban yet contains only two IBAN tools and 31 unrelated Pipeworx/data tools. The count feels bloated and misaligned with the server's apparent identity, though not extreme enough for a 1 or 2.

Completeness2/5

For the Pipeworx data-research domain the surface is quite rich (query, deep research, entity profiles, comparisons, subscriptions, memory). For the server's stated IBAN purpose, only validate and suggest_iban exist — no generation, parsing, batch checks, or bank detail coverage — so the tool set is severely incomplete relative to the server name.
