Search Within a Source

search_within
Read-onlyIdempotent

Semantic search INSIDE a fetched record. Pass the text you already pulled (e.g. a SEC 10-K body, an article, a long tool result) plus a natural-language query; get back the top-N passages with character offsets and similarity scores. Use when the record is too big to cram into the prompt — search_within saves context, returns only the passages that matter, and every passage carries an offset so the agent can verify a verbatim quote. Pairs with ask_pipeworx_grounded: fetch with the gateway, ground over the relevant passages instead of the whole document. BGE-base-en embeddings + cosine over 500-char overlapping windows; cap is 200K chars (longer inputs are truncated and flagged).

Input Schema

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the readOnly/openWorld annotations, the description discloses the embedding model (BGE-base-en), the windowing strategy (500-char overlapping windows), and the input cap (200K chars) with truncation behavior and a flag. It also clarifies that output includes character offsets and similarity scores, which is valuable for verification.

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?

A single, dense paragraph that front-loads the purpose and then details usage and technical constraints. Every sentence contributes distinct information, and no filler is present.

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?

With no output schema, the description compensates by explaining return values (passages, offsets, similarity scores), truncation handling, and the pairing with ask_pipeworx_grounded. The tool is complex, but the description leaves no critical gaps.

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?

The schema already provides 100% coverage with examples in query, so the baseline is 3. The description adds context by characterizing text as 'already pulled' and noting output includes offsets and scores, which helps the agent understand parameter roles. However, much of this is redundant with the schema.

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 opens with 'Semantic search INSIDE a fetched record,' using a specific verb and resource scope. It clearly distinguishes from siblings by emphasizing that the search operates on text already obtained, not on external sources. The examples (SEC 10-K, article) further clarify the intended input.

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 'Use when the record is too big to cram into the prompt' and explains the benefit of saving context. It also names a complementary tool, ask_pipeworx_grounded, and describes the intended workflow, giving the agent clear decision criteria.

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

B3.3/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Many tools serve overlapping purposes: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, ask_pipeworx_grounded, and deep_research all query Pipeworx data in similar ways. Polymarket tools also heavily overlap. This leads to ambiguity for an agent trying to select the right tool.

Naming Consistency2/5

Tool names are inconsistent, mixing snake_case (ai_visibility_check), all lowercase (feed, forget), and underscore-separated verbs (ask_pipeworx_grounded, list_subscriptions). No consistent pattern is followed.

Tool Count2/5

With 32 tools, the server feels overloaded for its stated purpose of RSS-to-JSON conversion. Many tools are unrelated (e.g., prediction markets, entity profiles, memory) making the scope too broad for a focused server.

Completeness2/5

The tool set has notable gaps: only one RSS-related tool (feed), and missing basic operations like creating or updating entities. The heavy focus on Pipeworx and Polymarket leaves the core domain underserved.
