Search Within a Source

search_within
Read-onlyIdempotent

Semantic search INSIDE a fetched record. Pass the text you already pulled (e.g. a SEC 10-K body, an article, a long tool result) plus a natural-language query; get back the top-N passages with character offsets and similarity scores. Use when the record is too big to cram into the prompt — search_within saves context, returns only the passages that matter, and every passage carries an offset so the agent can verify a verbatim quote. Pairs with ask_pipeworx_grounded: fetch with the gateway, ground over the relevant passages instead of the whole document. BGE-base-en embeddings + cosine over 500-char overlapping windows; cap is 200K chars (longer inputs are truncated and flagged).

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
textYesThe document text to search inside (max ~200K chars).
limitNoMax passages to return (1-20, default 5).
queryYesNatural-language query — what passages do you want? E.g. "supply-chain risk", "fiscal year 2024 revenue", "drug interactions with warfarin".

TDQS

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already provide readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, etc. Description adds technical details (BGE-base-en embeddings, cosine, 500-char windows, 200K char cap, truncation flagging) and return offsets, enhancing transparency 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.

Conciseness5/5

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

Description is front-loaded with purpose, then usage, then technical details; each sentence adds value without redundancy, achieving high conciseness.

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?

For a semantic search tool with 3 parameters and no output schema, the description covers behavior, limitations (200K chars), return values (passages with offsets and scores), and integration with other tools, making it complete.

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 description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. Description adds examples (e.g., SEC 10-K body, article) and clarifies usage context for text and query parameters, slightly exceeding 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?

Description clearly states 'semantic search inside a fetched record' and distinguishes from siblings by specifying when to use it (record too large for prompt) and pairing with ask_pipeworx_grounded for grounding over relevant passages.

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?

Explicitly says 'Use when the record is too big to cram into the prompt' and provides guidance on pairing with ask_pipeworx_grounded, offering clear usage context and 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

Many tools have overlapping purposes, e.g., multiple ask_pipeworx variants, bet_research vs. polymarket_edges, and several entity/profile tools. An agent could easily misselect between similar tools despite detailed descriptions.

Naming Consistency2/5

Tool names are inconsistent: some use snake_case (ask_pipeworx), some camelCase (ai_visibility_check), and verbs vary (ask, bet, compare, scan, validate). No clear naming convention is followed across the set.

Tool Count3/5

With 34 tools, the server covers a broad range of functionalities for a platform like Pipeworx. While each tool seems justified, the count is on the higher end, potentially overwhelming for simpler use cases.

Completeness4/5

The tool set covers data retrieval, memory, subscriptions, Polymarket analysis, and utility functions comprehensively. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no direct user management) but core workflows are well-supported.
