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 1506 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 5,767 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.

A4.2/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

The annotations already cover read-only/open-world/idempotent/non-destructive behavior, and the description adds substantial context: account and paid-tier requirements, structured-source scope, findings packet fields, gaps[] for unanswered facets, and an explicit 'never invented' no-hallucination guarantee. This goes well beyond what the annotations alone convey.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness1/5

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

The unique content is tight and front-loaded, but the description then repeats the same block dozens of times with progressive corruption and typos. This is not appropriately sized, most sentences do not earn their place, and the bloat severely harms readability.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Despite the duplication, the first block covers purpose, auth fallback, best-use case, and return packet contents, which compensates for the absence of an output schema. Minor gaps remain: no latency expectations and no depth-selection guidance beyond what the schema already provides. Overall it is complete enough for selection and invocation.

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 baseline applies; the schema fully documents question and depth, including enum semantics. The description only adds the account/pricing note for thorough, which the schema already states. No meaningful parameter meaning is added beyond the schema.

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 first paragraph clearly states a specific function: grounded multi-source research over Pipeworx's 1506 structured data sources in one call, decomposing questions into facets and routing to tools in parallel. It also distinguishes itself from open-web search and from the single-lookup sibling ask_pipeworx. The purpose remains clear despite the repetitive text that follows.

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?

It explicitly tells the agent to use ask_pipeworx when not signed in and for single lookups, and says deep_research is best for broad/multi-part structured-data questions. It also frames the tool as NOT open-web search, which communicates when it does not apply. This is direct and actionable selection guidance.

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
Disambiguation3/5

Most tools have distinct purposes, but several overlap heavily: ask_pipeworx_beta explicitly matches ask_pipeworx exactly, ai_visibility_check is a single-entity version of scan_competitor_ai_presence, and multiple Polymarket tools (polymarket_edges, polymarket_arbitrage, polymarket_edge_tracker, polymarket_fill_risk) share fuzzy boundaries. The lengthy descriptions help, but an agent could easily select the wrong tool.

Naming Consistency4/5

The overwhelming majority follow a clear verb_noun or noun_phrase pattern (ask_pipeworx, resolve_entity, validate_claim, generate_uuid, discover_tools). The ask_pipeworx_beta/ask_pipeworx_grounded variants and brand-name tools like pipeworx_trending are minor deviations, but the overall convention is remarkably consistent across 33 tools.

Tool Count2/5

33 tools is heavy for a single MCP server, especially one named 'Uuid' where only 2 tools (generate_uuid, validate_uuid) relate to the apparent name. The remaining 31 tools constitute a sprawling data-research platform that would normally be its own server. The count stretches beyond what is typically coherent.

Completeness3/5

As a data-research platform, the surface is quite complete: lookup, grounded answers, deep research, entity resolution, comparisons, claim validation, subscriptions, memory, and feedback are all covered. However, for the nominal 'Uuid' domain, only generation and validation exist — missing anything like UUID namespace generation, timestamp extraction from v1/v7, or bulk operations — creating a glaring mismatch between server name and actual tool scope.
