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 declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false. The description adds that it returns top-N most relevant tools with full input schemas and curated examples, ready to call directly. This adds behavioral context beyond annotations without contradiction.

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?

The description is relatively long but well-structured: starts with core purpose, then usage context, then specifics about output. Every sentence adds value without redundancy.

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?

Given the tool has 6 parameters, no output schema, and full annotations, the description adequately explains what it returns (top-N tools with schemas) and when to use it. It covers the necessary context for an agent to decide to call this 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 description coverage is 100% with all parameters documented. The description does not add extra meaning beyond the schema's parameter descriptions, so baseline 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 finds tools by describing data or task, with specific verb+resource. It lists many example domains (SEC filings, financials, etc.) and distinguishes itself from sibling tools by emphasizing discovery and browsing, not direct data retrieval.

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 says 'Call this FIRST when you have many tools available and want to see the option set (not just one answer).' This provides clear when-to-use guidance and implies it's not for when you already know the tool.

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

A3.7/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Several clusters overlap significantly: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, ask_pipeworx_grounded, and deep_research all serve general data-query purposes, and entity_profile, compare_entities, recent_changes, and validate_claim pull from the same SEC/news/data sources in similar ways. The semver utilities are distinct, but they sit alongside unrelated prediction-market, memory, subscription, and AI-visibility tools that make the overall boundary of each tool much fuzzier.

Naming Consistency3/5

Some tools follow a clean verb_noun pattern (parse_semver, compare_semver, compare_entities, resolve_entity), but others are noun phrases (entity_profile, polymarket_edges, recent_changes) or branded/verb-first names (ask_pipeworx, deep_research, bet_research, pipeworx_trending). The mix is readable but inconsistent, with no unifying convention across the 34 tools.

Tool Count2/5

34 tools is too many for a server named Semver, whose actual semver-related surface is only a few utilities. Even viewed as a broad data platform, the count is heavy and padded with unrelated capabilities like prediction-market arbitrage, memory storage, subscriptions, and AI-visibility checks that do not belong together in one server.

Completeness2/5

As a Semver server it covers parse, compare, and range satisfaction but lacks obvious operations like version bumping/incrementing or validating a version list, making the core surface incomplete. As a general data platform the domain is unclear and the unusual mix of semver, market, memory, and marketing tools prevents any coherent completeness assessment.
