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).

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already state readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safe-read profile is covered. The description adds useful behavioral context: it returns top-N tools with full schemas and curated examples, ready to call directly, and avoids a second schema lookup. No contradiction 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.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is four sentences long and front-loaded with the core purpose ('Find tools by describing the data or task'). The domain list is long but informative, and every sentence contributes to understanding what the tool does and when to use it, with no wasted repetition.

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 fully covers return values: it explains the response shape (top-N tools with names, descriptions, and full input schemas) and the direct-call readiness. Combined with strong annotations and 100% schema coverage on inputs, this is a complete and self-sufficient description.

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%, so the schema thoroughly documents the 'query' parameter and its aliases plus 'limit'. The description adds the 'top-N' concept but does not introduce any parameter-specific details beyond what the schema already provides, keeping it at the baseline.

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 uses a specific verb ('Find tools') and resource (the tool catalog), and clearly distinguishes itself from sibling domain tools by being the meta-discovery tool. The domain list and 'not just one answer' contrast further clarify its unique role.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicit guidance is given with 'Use when you need to browse, search, look up, or discover' and 'Call this FIRST when you have many tools available'. It does not name specific alternative tools or when not to use it, but the instruction to call it first is clear and actionable.

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

A3.6/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Several tools occupy nearly the same niche: ask_pipeworx_beta is explicitly an identical duplicate of ask_pipeworx when no experiment is active, and ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research, and validate_claim all overlap as question-answering entry points. Other families like entity_profile vs compare_entities vs recent_changes and ai_visibility_check vs scan_competitor_ai_presence also blur together despite long disambiguating descriptions.

Naming Consistency4/5

All tool names use a clean, readable snake_case style, and there are strong prefix families like ask_pipeworx, polymarket_, list_, and scan_. However, the set is not uniformly verb_noun: entity_profile, deep_research, recent_alerts, pipeworx_trending, and several others are noun phrases rather than actions, so the pattern is mostly consistent but not strict.

Tool Count2/5

34 tools is well beyond the 25+ threshold where a server starts feeling bloated, and the server name 'Space Feeds' suggests a narrow niche while most of the surface is a general data research, prediction-market, memory, and subscription platform. Each tool may be useful, but as a set the scope is sprawling rather than focused.

Completeness4/5

The major workflows have good lifecycle coverage: data lookup and grounded verification, entity resolution and profiling, prediction-market analysis, memory (remember/recall/forget), subscriptions (subscribe/list/unsubscribe/recent_alerts), and feed reading (list/read/fetch) are all represented. Minor gaps include a direct pipeworx:// citation reader and feed curation or management operations, but agents can work around those.
