## Quality –/100 (not scored)

Not scored: fewer than three checks apply, usually because no remote answered a credential-free probe or the server is a local package.

### protocol: 75 (weight 25)

- warn `protocol.modern`: newest supported version is 2025-03-26; 2026-07-28 not supported, older versions are deprecated until 2027-07-28
- n/a `protocol.stateless`: only applies to 2026-07-28 servers
- pass `protocol.transport`: streamable HTTP
- n/a `protocol.list_ttl`: only applies to 2026-07-28 servers

### authorization: n/a (weight 15)

- n/a `auth.prm`, `auth.as_metadata`, `auth.cimd`: no remote uses OAuth
- n/a `auth.secret_in_url`: no templated URL

### tool hygiene: n/a (weight 30)

- n/a `tools.descriptions`, `tools.description_length`, `tools.schemas`, `tools.annotations`, `tools.directory_hints`, `tools.token_cost`, `tools.api_dump`: tool list unknown (behind auth, not probed, or empty)

### stability: n/a (weight 15)

- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/io.github.pipeworx-io/discogs.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/io.github.pipeworx-io/discogs)
- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

### Tool changes

- 2026-10-20 `ask_pipeworx_grounded` removed
  - Hallucination-resistant answer mode for high-stakes reads. Same routing as ask_pipeworx — picks the right tool from 7,013 across 1847 sources, fills arguments, fetches the data — then EXTRACTS the answer using ONLY what the tool result contains. Returns {answer, evidence (verbatim quote), confidence, source, fetched_at, refusal_reason:null} on success, OR an explicit refusal {answer:null, refusal_reason:"not_in_source"|"no_tool_match"|"tool_error"|"data_truncated"|"llm_error"} when the data doesn't directly answer. Use whenever an answer will be quoted, cited, or acted on, and the agent must not invent facts (financial verdicts, legal claims, medical lookups, public statements). Costs one extra LLM call vs ask_pipeworx — prefer ask_pipeworx for casual lookups.
- 2026-10-20 `get_release` removed
  - Full release detail: title, artists, labels, formats, tracklist, credits, year, country, notes, identifiers (barcode, matrix), data quality.
- 2026-10-20 `search` removed
  - Full-text search across Discogs (releases, masters, artists, labels). Filter by type, title, artist, format (e.g., "Vinyl", "CD"), country, year, genre, style, label.
- 2026-10-20 `recall` removed
  - Retrieve a value previously saved via remember, or list all saved keys (omit the key argument). Use to look up context the agent stored earlier — the user's target ticker, an address, prior research notes — without re-deriving it from scratch. Scoped to your identifier (anonymous IP, BYO key hash, or account ID). Pair with remember to save, forget to delete.
- 2026-10-20 `remember` removed
  - Save data the agent will need to reuse later — across this conversation or across sessions. Use when you discover something worth carrying forward (a resolved ticker, a target address, a user preference, a research subject) so you don't have to look it up again. Stored as a key-value pair scoped by your identifier. Authenticated users get persistent memory; anonymous sessions retain memory for 24 hours. Pair with recall to retrieve later, forget to delete.
- 2026-10-20 `scan_competitor_ai_presence` removed
  - Compare AI visibility across multiple entities side-by-side. Probes each entity (your brand + N competitors) with ai_visibility_check, ranks by score, surfaces which is most/least recognized. Useful for competitive AI-marketing audits: "does Claude know about us as well as our competitors?". Returns ranked list with score, confidence, signal density per entity.
- 2026-10-20 `generate_llms_txt` removed
  - Generate a production-ready llms.txt file for any URL so AI crawlers (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity) can index the site cleanly. Fetches the page, extracts title/description/key links, and emits the standard llms.txt markdown format. Output is a single text blob ready to drop at site-root/llms.txt. Useful for: getting a client's site indexed by AI, drafting llms.txt for your own project, or auditing how an AI crawler would see a competitor.
- 2026-10-20 `research_row` removed
  - Claygent-style per-row research: answer ONE question about ONE company and return a JSON object matching your output_schema, with every field wrapped in its own evidence — {value, evidence_url, quote, status}. status is NEVER self-reported by the model: "found" means this code independently verified the model's quote is a VERBATIM substring of text actually fetched; "inferred" means a value was given but the quote could not be verified; "not_established" means no source answered the field, and its value is always null — never guessed, never a blended score. Sources: "web" fetches the company's own site (entity.domain required — homepage, /about, /leadership) via fetch_url; "catalog" checks entity_profile (SEC EDGAR; resolved:false for a private company is expected, not a failure); "both" (default) tries both. max_cost (USD, default 0.02, max 0.50) scales how many pages are fetched and refuses up front if it is too small to pay for even one extraction call (floor $0.002) — never silently overspends. A row where every source comes back empty costs nothing: every field is mechanically not_established with NO model call made. For a boolean/derived field (e.g. "does this company sell to healthcare"), the quote only has to SUPPORT the value — a descriptive sentence about customers/products counts, the source need not state the answer verbatim. leadership_page_status ("fetched"|"not_found"|"not_attempted", plus leadership_note) says plainly whether a leadership/team page was actually read, so a named-person field (head_of_sales) coming back not_established is distinguishable from "this company just doesn't publish one" vs. "we never checked". model_output_empty:true means the model returned nothing usable (a transport/budget problem) — every field is not_established for THAT reason, never read as 20 individual "no" judgments. Use with a fixed question + schema across many rows for "Claygent over N companies with a hard cost cap" (composes with batch callers). For picking from a fixed label list instead of extracting open fields, use classify_row (cheaper, one model call).
- 2026-10-20 `archive_compare` removed
  - What changed on a web page between two dates? Resolves the archived capture nearest each date (Internet Archive Wayback Machine, Common Crawl, Arquivo.pt), extracts the readable text of both, and returns a text-level diff: the segments removed and added, a similarity score, and both capture timestamps with their gaps from the requested dates. It diffs readable text, not markup, so a restyled page with the same words reads changed:false. Identical captures answer changed:false with the reason (same capture, identical content digest, or identical text), never an empty diff. A date with no capture within max_gap_days (default 30) answers status "no_capture", naming which side is missing and the nearest captures to it. Typical uses: how a privacy policy, terms of service, pricing or product page changed; whether a statement was on a page at a given time.
- 2026-10-20 `archive_evidence` removed
  - What did a web page say on a given date? Finds the archived capture of a URL nearest that date across the Internet Archive Wayback Machine, Common Crawl and Arquivo.pt, reads it, and returns the readable text (HTML stripped) with the capture timestamp, a link to the archived copy, and the GAP between the date asked for and the capture actually used (e.g. "Captured 1.5 day(s) before the requested date"). One call replaces the find-capture, fetch-record, parse-HTML chain. If no archive holds a capture within max_gap_days (default 30) it answers status "no_capture" and names the nearest capture before and after the date with their gaps, so a distant capture is never passed off as the page on that date. Every archive's outcome is listed in sources[]; one that timed out or errored says so with its upstream status, and if all of them failed the answer is error "archives_unavailable", not no_capture. Captures are immutable and cached by capture id; served_from says whether the text came from cache or upstream. Use archive_compare to see what changed between two dates.
