Compare Entities

compare_entities
Read-onlyIdempotent

"Compare X and Y" / "X vs Y" / "X versus Y" / "which is bigger / better / larger / more profitable" / "rank these companies" / "head to head" — side-by-side comparison of 2–5 companies or drugs in ONE parallel call. ALWAYS PREFER over sequential single-pack lookups when comparing entities. type="company" pulls LATEST 10-K revenue + net income + cash + long-term debt from SEC EDGAR/XBRL (off-calendar fiscal years handled correctly — AAPL Sep, NVDA Jan, etc.). type="drug" pulls FAERS adverse-event counts, FDA approval counts, active trial counts. Results sorted by primary metric so "largest" / "most" / "biggest" reads off the top of the response. Returns paired data + pipeworx:// citation URIs per entity. Replaces 8–15 sequential lookups.

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond annotations (readOnly, idempotent), description details data sources, handling of off-calendar fiscal years, sorting by primary metric, and citation URIs. No 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?

Description is moderately long but efficient, with each sentence adding value (examples, data sources, sorting, alternatives). Could be slightly more terse, but well-structured.

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?

Despite no output schema, description covers return format (paired data + citations), data sources, and sorting. With only 2 parameters, it fully explains tool behavior and output.

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?

Schema coverage is 100%, but description adds meaning: explains type enum values (company vs drug) with specific data sources, and values parameter with examples and limits (tickers/CIKs for company, drug names).

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?

Description clearly states tool performs side-by-side comparison of 2-5 companies or drugs, with specific data sources (SEC EDGAR, FAERS). Distinguishes from single-entity lookups by explicitly preferring over sequential calls.

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?

Provides explicit triggers ('X vs Y', 'which is bigger') and states 'ALWAYS PREFER over sequential single-pack lookups when comparing entities.' Offers clear guidance on when to use.

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

A3.9/5.0
Disambiguation3/5

Most tools have clearly distinct roles, but the ask_pipeworx / ask_pipeworx_beta / ask_pipeworx_grounded / deep_research cluster overlaps heavily as question-answering and research entry points, with ask_pipeworx_beta currently being an exact duplicate of ask_pipeworx. The prediction-market tools are individually differentiated but numerous enough that selecting the right one requires careful reading.

Naming Consistency4/5

The set is predominantly snake_case and mostly readable, with sensible prefixes like ask_, search_, polymarket_, and scan_. However, conventions mix verb-first names (remember, subscribe, validate_claim), noun-style names (categories, event, entity_profile), and adjective-noun names (recent_alerts, recent_changes), so the pattern is not fully uniform.

Tool Count2/5

34 tools is well above the 25-tool threshold where a server starts to feel heavy, and many could be consolidated (7+ prediction-market tools, 4+ overlapping ask/research tools, plus memory and subscription helpers). The breadth is somewhat justified by the Pipeworx data platform, but the surface is still overloaded for a single server.

Completeness4/5

For the broad data/research domain, coverage is strong: lookup, grounded verification, deep research, entity profiles, comparisons, change feeds, tool discovery, memory, and subscription lifecycle all have coherent coverage. Minor gaps exist, such as no explicit tool to read a pipeworx:// citation URI directly and a fairly thin Skiddle events side beyond search/detail/categories.
