Read-onlyIdempotent

"What's new with X" / "latest on Y" / "what happened to Z this week / month / quarter" / "updates on Acme" / "news on Tesla recently" / "what's happening with Apple" — change feed for a company in the last N days/weeks/months in ONE parallel call. Fans out to SEC EDGAR (filings since since), GDELT→GNews fallback (news mentions in window — GDELT preferred, GNews when rate-limited or 5xx), USPTO (patents granted; PatentsView API sunset May 2025 so this soft-fails until reactivated). since accepts ISO date ("2026-04-01") or relative shorthand ("7d", "30d", "3m", "1y"). Returns structured changes[] grouped by source + total_changes count + pipeworx:// citation URIs. Use entity_profile instead when you want the static profile (filings + fundamentals + LEI + patents) regardless of window.

A4.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint=false. The description adds value by detailing the fan-out to multiple sources, rate-limiting fallback, and return structure (changes grouped by source, citation URIs). It does not contradict annotations.

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 slightly verbose but well-structured: trigger phrases first, then sources, parameter details, fallback, and sibling comparison. Every sentence adds value, though it could be trimmed slightly without loss.

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 complexity (multiple sources, fallback, relative date parsing, citations), the description is comprehensive. It explains the behavior, limitations (soft-fail for USPTO), and even hints at future reactivation. It describes the return structure despite no output schema.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

With 100% schema coverage, the baseline is 3, but the description adds significant value: explains that `type` is currently only 'company', `since` accepts ISO dates and relative shorthand with examples, and `value` accepts ticker or CIK. It also suggests typical usage ('Use 30d or 1m').

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 returns a change feed for a company over a recent time window, fanning out to multiple sources (SEC, GDELT/GNews, USPTO). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like entity_profile, making the purpose unmistakable.

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 provides explicit usage guidance with example queries ('What's new with X'), explains when to use this tool vs entity_profile, and details fallback behavior (GDELT→GNews) and soft-fail for USPTO. This helps the agent decide correctly.

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.
