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).

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already indicate read-only, idempotent, non-destructive behavior. The description adds value by detailing the output 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 contradictions.

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?

The description is concise (4 sentences) with a clear front-loaded purpose, followed by examples and key benefits. Every sentence serves a purpose, and there is no redundancy or fluff.

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 the tool's moderate complexity, annotations cover safety, schema covers parameters, and description explains the output format. Sibling tools are many, but the description clarifies the tool's role as a discovery interface. No output schema needed for this use case.

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?

All 6 parameters are described in the schema with 100% coverage. The description provides contextual aliases (q, task, search, description) and example queries, but adds minimal meaning beyond the schema. Baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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's purpose: 'Find tools by describing the data or task.' It provides specific examples (SEC filings, FDA drugs, etc.) and distinguishes it from siblings by emphasizing discovery rather than direct tool use.

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?

The description explicitly advises when to use: 'Call this FIRST when you have many tools available and want to see the option set (not just one answer).' This gives clear usage context and implies when not to use (when already knowing the target tool).

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

Tool purposes are mostly distinct, with detailed descriptions differentiating similar-sounding tools like ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_grounded, and deep_research. However, some overlap exists between bet_research and polymarket_* tools, requiring careful reading of descriptions to select the correct one.

Naming Consistency3/5

Tool names mix verb_noun patterns (e.g., resolve_entity, validate_claim) with noun_phrases (e.g., entity_profile, recent_alerts) and occasional inconsistencies like pipeworx_trending or search_within. While most names are readable, the lack of a uniform convention makes it harder to predict tool names.

Tool Count4/5

32 tools cover a broad domain of data retrieval, analysis, prediction markets, and system management. The count is high but reasonable given the extensive feature set, though a more focused set could improve coherence.

Completeness4/5

The tool set covers major needs: data lookup, comparison, validation, monitoring, and memory. Missing CRUD operations for external data are expected as this is a read-centric API, so gaps are minor and don't hinder common tasks.
