unsubscribeCancel a subscription by id. Ownership is enforced — you can only cancel your own subscriptions. The row is deactivated (not deleted) so its historical events stay available via recent_alerts.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | Yes | Subscription id (uuid) returned by subscribe. |

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Adds critical context beyond annotations: ownership enforcement, deactivation semantics, and historical data availability. Consistent 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Three efficient sentences, front-loaded with action, no wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple tool with one parameter and no output schema, description covers all necessary context: purpose, constraint, and side effects.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema already describes id; description adds that it is returned by subscribe, providing useful origin context.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states verb 'cancel' and resource 'subscription by id'. Differentiates from sibling tools 'subscribe' and 'list_subscriptions'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explains ownership enforcement and that deactivation not deletion preserves history. Lacks explicit when-not-to-use or alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Most tools have clearly distinct purposes, especially the core ones like get_paper, search_papers, and entity_profile. However, some pairs like ask_pipeworx and ask_pipeworx_grounded, or the polymarket tools, could cause momentary confusion, though descriptions help differentiate.
Naming patterns are inconsistent: tools use verb_noun (e.g., get_paper), noun_phrase (e.g., polymarket_arbitrage), and bare verbs (e.g., forget, recall). There is no unifying pattern, and styles like 'pipeworx_feedback' vs 'search_papers' further add to the inconsistency.
With 34 tools, the set covers a broad range of domains (academic papers, company data, prediction markets, memory, subscriptions). While the scope justifies the number, it feels slightly heavy and could benefit from consolidation or clearer grouping.
The tool set covers major functionalities for research, data retrieval, and monitoring, with only minor gaps (e.g., limited to US public companies, npm-only dependency scanning). Overall, the surface is comprehensive for the stated capabilities.
