Quality – / 100not scored

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

Tool changes

  • get_hn_commentsremoved

    Fetch the discussion (top-level comments, actual text) on a Hacker News story by its item ID. PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for "what are people saying about <HN story>", "HN discussion / developer sentiment on X". get_item returns only comment IDs; this resolves them to text. Find a story ID via get_top_stories or search_hn. Returns each top comment author, text, time, and reply count.

  • get_itemremoved

    Fetch a Hacker News story or comment by ID (e.g., "42153809"). Returns full text, score, author, timestamp, and child replies.

  • get_storiesremoved

    Fetch Hacker News stories of a given TYPE: top (default), new (newest), best, ask (Ask HN), show (Show HN), or job (jobs/hiring). PREFER for "newest HN stories", "top Ask HN posts", "Show HN", "HN job postings / who is hiring". Returns title, URL (or self-text for Ask/Show), score, author, comment count, and timestamp.

  • get_top_storiesremoved

    Fetch the current live top-ranked Hacker News stories from the Firebase API. Returns up to `count` stories (default 10) with title, URL, score, author, comment count, and Unix timestamp.

  • search_hnremoved

    Full-text search Hacker News via Algolia. Pass query plus optional tags filter (story, comment, ask_hn, show_hn; default: story). Returns title, URL, score, author, comment count, and timestamp.

  • forgetremoved

    Delete a previously stored memory by key. Use when context is stale, the task is done, or you want to clear sensitive data the agent saved earlier. Pair with remember and recall.

  • recallremoved

    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.

  • rememberremoved

    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.

  • pipeworx_feedbackremoved

    Tell the Pipeworx team something is broken, missing, or needs to exist. Use when a tool returns wrong/stale data (bug), when a tool you wish existed isn't in the catalog (feature/data_gap), or when something worked surprisingly well (praise). ONLY for tools served by this Pipeworx connection — if the tool came from a different MCP server in your client (another vendor's Gmail, Splunk, Slack, etc. connector), we cannot fix it and reporting it here only delays you; file it with that server instead. Not sure? Pipeworx tool names are the ones this connection lists. Describe the issue in terms of Pipeworx tools/packs — don't paste the end-user's prompt. Filing without an account returns a `claim_token`; pass it back later as pipeworx_feedback({claim_token:"pwfb_…"}) to read whether it was fixed and what changed. The team reads digests daily and signal directly affects roadmap. Rate-limited to 5 per identifier per day. Free; doesn't count against your tool-call quota.

  • scan_competitor_ai_presenceremoved

    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.
