Deep Research

deep_research
Read-onlyIdempotent

ACCOUNT REQUIRED (free — sign in via GitHub at https://pipeworx.io/signup; depth:"thorough" needs a paid plan). If you are not signed in, use ask_pipeworx instead — it works on every tier. Grounded multi-source research across Pipeworx's 1517 STRUCTURED data sources (SEC filings, FRED/BLS economics, FDA, USPTO patents, markets, science, government records, etc.) in ONE call — this is NOT open-web search. Decomposes your question into focused facets, routes each to the right one of 5,798 tools IN PARALLEL, and returns a findings packet: verbatim evidence + confidence + source + fetched_at + a stable pipeworx:// citation per finding, with explicit gaps[] for facets the data couldn't answer (never invented). Best for broad/multi-part questions over structured data ("compare X and Y's regulatory + financial exposure", "research the filings + market picture for ACME"). For a single lookup use ask_pipeworx (one LLM call, not many). For BREAKING or colloquial CURRENT-NEWS / "what's the world saying about X" topics, prefer ask_pipeworx — it routes to live news APIs and the *-news-feeds packs; deep_research returns mostly empty gaps[] when the topic isn't in the structured catalog. Second-hop iteration: depth:"standard" re-angles unanswered gaps (gap recovery); depth:"thorough" additionally chases the best leads from the first pass — so multi-step questions resolve in one call. Every finding carries a hop field and a citation_uri — a resolvable pipeworx:// record URI, present only when the source emits one that resources/read can actually serve, so a citation you get back is always fetchable. "standard" and "thorough" also return contradictions[] flagging findings that disagree. Large records are semantically excerpted to the passages relevant to each facet (not head-truncated), so answers deep in a long filing/series aren't missed. Expect 15-60s (thorough with its follow-up + contradiction pass: up to ~90s).

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
depthNoHow many facets to research in parallel: quick=3 (single hop), standard=3 (default; adds a gap-recovery hop that re-angles unanswered facets + a contradictions[] scan across findings), thorough=6 (paid; adds a full iterative hop that chases leads + recovers gaps, plus the contradictions[] scan).
questionYesThe research question, in natural language. Broad/multi-part is fine — decomposition is the point.

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and idempotentHint, and the description goes beyond them with rich behavioral disclosure: account/paid-tier requirements, parallel decomposition across 5,798 tools, gaps[] for unanswered facets, contradictions[], fetchable citation_uri only when resolvable, semantic excerpting of large records, and latency expectations. No contradictions 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 long and dense, but nearly every sentence carries operational value and is front-loaded with the critical auth constraint and fallback. It could be improved with clearer structure or bullet-like separation of depth modes, but there is minimal fluff or 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?

This is a complex tool with no output schema, so the description must carry the full burden of explaining return values and behavior. It does: findings packet contents, confidence/source/fetched_at fields, gaps[], contradictions[], citation behavior, fallback alternatives, auth/pricing, and timing. No material operational detail is missing.

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%, so baseline is 3. The description adds meaningful operational semantics for the depth parameter: quick=3 facets, standard=3 with gap recovery and contradictions[], thorough=6 with iterative lead-chasing and paid plan. It also reinforces question semantics with broad/multi-part examples. Slight redundancy with the schema prevents a 5.

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 identifies a specific verb and resource: 'grounded multi-source research across Pipeworx's 1517 STRUCTURED data sources' in ONE call, explicitly noting 'this is NOT open-web search.' It also distinguishes itself from sibling tools like ask_pipeworx by emphasizing broad/multi-part questions and structural data coverage.

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 gives explicit when-to-use guidance: best for broad/multi-part questions over structured data, and explicitly directs agents to ask_pipeworx for single lookups and for breaking/current news. It also handles the auth edge case: if not signed in, use ask_pipeworx. This leaves no ambiguity about conditions or alternatives.

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

A3.8/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Multiple tools have unclear boundaries: ask_pipeworx_beta currently behaves identically to ask_pipeworx, and the five Polymarket tools (arbitrage, edges, bet_research, fill_risk, edge_tracker) overlap heavily in the 'should I bet on X' use case. The detailed descriptions help, but an agent could easily misselect between these clusters.

Naming Consistency2/5

Naming is highly inconsistent: verb_noun (ask_pipeworx, compare_entities, resolve_entity), noun_noun (entity_profile, table_meta, polymarket_edges), single verbs (remember, forget, recall), and brand-prefixed compounds (pipeworx_trending, polymarket_kalshi_spread) are all mixed together. The server name 'Stat Gl' also doesn't align with the Pipeworx-heavy tool set.

Tool Count2/5

34 tools is well beyond the 25+ threshold that signals an oversized surface, and the set spans disparate domains: data querying, prediction markets, entity research, memory, subscriptions, and even niche utilities like generate_llms_txt and scan_dependency. While each tool has a described purpose, the count feels bloated for a coherent server.

Completeness4/5

Within its actual domains, coverage is strong: query, grounded verification, deep research, claim validation, entity profiles, comparisons, memory CRUD, and subscription lifecycle are all present, plus a complete Statistics Greenland browse/schema/query trio. Minor gaps exist (e.g., limited subscription event types, US-centric company profiles), but agents can typically find a working path without dead ends.
