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 declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false. The description adds behavioral context: it returns top-N relevant tools with full schemas and examples, ready to call directly, eliminating a second schema lookup. No contradiction with annotations.

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 and front-loaded: it states purpose, usage scenarios, and benefits in three sentences. Every sentence adds value with no redundancy.

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?

For a tool without an output schema, the description explains what is returned (tools with names, descriptions, schemas, examples) and why (ready to call). It covers input sufficiently and fits the complexity of a discovery tool.

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 coverage is 100% with six parameters all described. The description adds value by mentioning aliases (q, task, description, search) and that the query is a natural language description, but this is already covered in the schema. Basic baseline 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 uses specific verbs like 'Find tools by describing the data or task' and 'browse, search, look up, or discover', and explicitly lists domains (SEC filings, FDA drugs, etc.). It clearly distinguishes from sibling tools by positioning itself as a meta-tool for discovery, instructing to call it FIRST.

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?

The description states when to use ('when you need to browse, search, look up, or discover') and includes a directive ('Call this FIRST when you have many tools available'). It does not explicitly state when not to use, but the context is clear enough for a discovery tool.

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

A4.2/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose with detailed descriptions. Overlapping areas like polymarket tools are well-differentiated by function (research, arbitrage, edge tracking, fill risk, cross-venue spread). The meta-tools (discover_tools, suggest_questions) further reduce ambiguity.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names use a consistent snake_case pattern (e.g., ask_pipeworx, bet_research, polymarket_edges). The naming is descriptive and predictable, aiding agent selection.

Tool Count3/5

34 tools is on the high side for typical MCP servers. While many are justified by the platform's breadth, the count slightly exceeds the ideal range, potentially overwhelming agents.

Completeness4/5

The tool set covers a wide array of domains (company data, drugs, prediction markets, economics, news, etc.) with CRUD-like operations for subscriptions and memory. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no direct social media or custom API tool), but overall the surface is well-matched to the server's data platform purpose.
