Tool changes

• 2026-10-20ask_pipeworx_groundedremoved

  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.

• 2026-10-20ask_pipeworx_betaremoved

  Beta version of ask_pipeworx: identical universal router (same 7,013 tools, same arguments, same response shape) with candidate routing improvements enabled live whenever one is under test. No candidate is active right now (the last was retired on outcome evidence 2026-07-26), so this currently matches ask_pipeworx exactly. Use it exactly like ask_pipeworx when you want the newest routing; results are compared against the stable router to decide what merges. Falls back to nothing — this IS a full working router, just the experimental edge.

• 2026-10-20polymarket_arbitrageremoved

  Find arbitrage opportunities on Polymarket via monotonicity violations + partition-sum checks. Call with NO args for a `trending_scan` of the top ~200 markets by weekly volume; pass `event` for the strongest per-event partition_check, or `topic` for a themed cross-event scan. `event` (recommended for a specific market): pass a Polymarket event slug like "fed-decision-may-2026" or "when-will-bitcoin-hit-150k"; walks child markets, checks date-axis / threshold-axis ordering AND computes the partition_check (sum of YES prices across mutually-exclusive legs — should ≈1; deviations >3pp emit a BUY/SELL EVERY LEG signal). `topic` (for cross-event scanning): pass a seed question like "Strait of Hormuz traffic returns to normal" or "Fed rate decision"; searches related events across the platform, flattens markets, runs the comparator on the union. Cross-event mode catches "...by May 31" vs "...by Jun 30" patterns that single-event misses. SEMANTIC ANCHOR: cross-event pairs require ≥0.30 Jaccard similarity on question tokens (prevents Powell-Fed-Pause being paired with Powell-DOJ-probe); skipped_low_similarity surfaces the rejected pair count. PARTITION FILTER: drops will-person-X / will-manager-Y / will-someone-else- placeholder slugs; partitions with >20% placeholder fraction return null arb signal. Response: opportunities[] (gap_pp, suggested_trade, reasoning, monotonicity violation context), and in event mode partition_check{sum_yes_prices, gap_from_1, placeholders_filtered, suggested_trade}. FEES: every opportunities[] row and partition_check.arbitrage carry edge_pp_gross (== gap_pp / overround_pp), fees_pp, edge_pp_net, net_positive, plus polymarket_fee_pp, fee_basis and fee_categories[]. BOTH cost components are modeled: Polymarket's own per-category TAKER FEE (fee = shares × rate × p × (1-p), rates crypto 0.07 / sports-economics-culture-weather-other 0.05 / finance-politics-mentions-tech 0.04, geopolitics and world events fee-free; verified against Polymarket's own docs as of 2026-09-13) and Polygon gas (~$0.02/leg). The taker fee dominates: ~$1.75 per 100 shares on a crypto market at 50c versus $0.02 of gas, so rows that looked profitable before fleet #1927 may now show net_positive:false — that is the correction, not a regression. Each leg is priced at ITS OWN market's rate and price (the fee curve peaks at 50c and falls toward both extremes). fee_basis says where the rate came from: 'payload' (read off the market, the normal case), 'category' (mapped from its fee category), 'fee_free', or 'fallback' (rate unknown — charged at the modal 0.05 rather than assumed free, so an unreadable market is never reported as costless). Where fill_check reprices against live depth, this does NOT double-count that spread cost. FILL CHECK: when the partition signal fires, arbitrage.fill_check prices it against live CLOB depth (theoretical_edge_pp_at_book vs realizable_edge_pp at 1000 shares/leg, thin_legs[]) — realizable_edge_pp ≤ 0 means the overround exists only at last-trade, not in the book; do not trade it. For custom sizing use polymarket_fill_risk.

• 2026-10-20company_factsremoved

  TYPED, DETERMINISTIC financial facts for a US public company for an EXPLICITLY NAMED reporting period — "Apple revenue for fiscal 2023", "Walmart net income FY2026 Q3", "Microsoft cash at the end of fiscal 2024". PREFER OVER entity_profile / get_company_financials whenever the period matters: those answer "the most recent figures" and will happily hand back FY2025 when you asked about FY2019, and neither separates a discrete quarter from a year-to-date figure. This one refuses instead — it NEVER substitutes the latest period for the period requested, NEVER returns 0 for missing data, NEVER lets a 9-month YTD number answer a quarterly question, and NEVER converts a currency. Every answer carries the exact us-gaap concept it came from, what that concept MEASURES (NetIncomeLoss excludes non-controlling interests, ProfitLoss includes them — not synonyms), the accession number and a link to the filing on sec.gov, the restatement trail of any superseded figures, and a contract + derivation version to pin against. Fiscal periods are the FILER'S OWN, anchored on their fiscal-year end, so Walmart's year ending 2026-01-31 is FY2026 and Apple's ending 2025-09-27 is FY2025. Attributes: revenue, net_income, cash, gross_profit, operating_income, eps_diluted, capex, operating_cash_flow, long_term_debt, shares_outstanding (the dei COVER-PAGE share count, so its period end is the cover date, after the quarter closed — that is the most current count the filing carries). Units are not all USD: shares_outstanding is in `shares` with currency null, eps_diluted in `USD/shares`. A discrete quarter the filer never filed — every Q4, and Q2/Q3 of cash-flow lines, which are filed year-to-date — is DERIVED as YTD(q) minus YTD(q-1) and comes back with `reported: false`, the subtraction named in `derivation` (fy_minus_9m / ytd_9m_minus_6m / ytd_6m_minus_3m) and both legs with their filings in `derived_from`; test `reported` if you will only accept a figure lifted from a filing. Per-share and balance-sheet figures are NEVER derived. Every non-answer is a named status — `unavailable` (the filer did not report it for that period; the periods that DO exist are listed, without values), `unsupported` (outside what v1 covers — a non-us-gaap filer, an unknown attribute, a non-USD unit), `ambiguous` (the company name matched two filers equally well; both are named), `conflicting` (two filings the same day disagree; both are returned and neither is picked), `partial` (a value with no accession behind it). Source: SEC EDGAR, XBRL financial facts, one publisher read once — see `corroboration`. Same response is served at POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/facts for non-MCP callers.

• 2026-10-20entity_profileremoved

  "Tell me about X" / "research Acme" / "brief me on Tesla" / "what does Apple do" / "company profile for Microsoft" / "give me the rundown on NVDA" / "everything you know about $TICKER" — full cross-source profile of a US public company in ONE parallel call. ALWAYS PREFER over chaining single-pack SEC/XBRL/news lookups when the user asks for a holistic view. Fans out across SEC EDGAR, XBRL, USPTO patents, federal contracts (USAspending), FDA-licensed biologics (Purple Book), H-1B hiring (DOL LCA), news and GLEIF, and returns: cik + company_name (+ resolved_from/resolved_to when `value` was a name); recent_filings (up to 5 with pipeworx://edgar/company/{cik}/filings/{accession} URIs); fundamentals (the latest ANNUAL Revenues, NetIncomeLoss, Cash, diluted EPS, capex and operating cash flow, each with its period_end, SEC form and the accession of the filing it came from — plus EntityCommonStockSharesOutstanding, which is the newest COVER-PAGE share count the filer has published rather than an annual one, so its period_end is a cover date after the quarter closed and it is the right per-share denominator; a filer tagging a fallback concept appears under the name of that tag instead, e.g. PaymentsToAcquireProductiveAssets instead of PaymentsToAcquirePropertyPlantAndEquipment); patents (USPTO PatentsView API sunset May 2025 — soft-fails until reactivated); federal_contracts (USAspending awards where the company is the recipient); fda_products (FDA-licensed biologics — vaccines, cell/gene therapies — from the Purple Book; a company with only small-molecule/generic drugs will show none here, that is expected, not a failure); hiring (H-1B sponsorship volume + salary range from DOL LCA filings); recent news mentions via GDELT→GNews fallback; LEI via GLEIF. `sources_used` / `sources_failed` say which of these actually returned data for THIS company — an empty section is a real "no data", not a bug. `sources_skipped` is the third state: a leg we deliberately did NOT run, each entry carrying a `reason` token and a plain-English `detail` (the Purple Book is skipped for a filer SEC classifies outside the life-science SIC bands, since it lists only 351(a)/(k) biologics licence holders). Pass a ticker ("AAPL"), zero-padded CIK ("0000320193"), OR a company name ("Moderna") — names now resolve via SEC EDGAR's company-name match; a private company (no CIK/ticker) returns resolved:false with an explicit `notes` line, not a bare failure. `type` accepts "company" or "ticker" interchangeably — both take the same `value` shapes above.

• 2026-10-20scan_dependencyremoved

  Composite "should I add this npm package to my project" check in ONE call — fans out across deps.dev (license + advisories + version history) and bundlephobia (gzipped/minified bundle size, dependency count, ESM/tree-shake support). Use whenever an agent asks "is X safe / popular / small" or "what does adding lodash cost me". Returns a summary block (is_latest, license, published_at, advisory_count, bundle_kb_min, bundle_kb_gz, dependency_count, has_esm, tree_shakeable), per-advisory detail, links, and a list of recent alternative versions. NPM ecosystem only in v1; PyPI / Maven / Cargo / Go fall under deps.dev:version directly. Partial failures degrade gracefully — bundlephobia's first measurement on a new version can take 5-30s; sources_failed will list it if it times out, the rest still returns.

• 2026-10-20ptab_search_decisionsremoved

  Search USPTO PTAB decision documents — institution decisions and final written decisions issued in IPR/PGR/CBM trials, plus appeal outcomes. Returns the trial number, decision type, issue date, trial/appeal outcome, the issue types and statutes/rules at play, and the decision document title + download URI. Filter by free-text `query`, `patent_number`, `trial_type`, and a `decided_after`/`decided_before` date range. Powered by the USPTO Open Data Portal (data.uspto.gov).

• 2026-10-20ptab_search_appealsremoved

  Search USPTO ex parte Appeals decisions — an applicant's appeal of a patent examiner's rejection to the Patent Trial and Appeal Board. This is a SEPARATE docket from AIA trials (IPR/PGR/CBM/derivation): an appeal number looks like "2024-001234", not "IPR2024-00001". Returns an outcome-count summary first (affirmed / reversed / affirmed-in-part / other), then the matching decision records, each with the applicant/real-party-in-interest, application and patent number, counsel, art unit, appeal filing date, decision type/date, and the decision document link. Filter by `appeal_number`, `application_number` (the rejected application under appeal), free-text `query`, and/or a `decided_after`/`decided_before` date range. Powered by the USPTO Open Data Portal (data.uspto.gov).

• 2026-10-20ptab_party_exposureremoved

  Summarize PTAB proceeding exposure for a petitioner or patent owner, including roles, challenged patents, statuses, trial types, and recorded outcomes. Party matching follows USPTO indexed names and may combine similarly named entities; verify identity before relying on totals.

• 2026-10-20ptab_patent_risk_profileremoved

  Summarize PTAB proceedings and recorded decision outcomes for one challenged patent. Reports status/outcome counts and recent matters for review routing; it is not a validity opinion, litigation forecast, freedom-to-operate analysis, or claim-level legal conclusion.
