# A "derivative lawsuit" query doesn't cleanly surface Pipeworx's federal-docket tools

## What we found
For the query "derivative lawsuit against company directors in federal court":

- **`search_packs`** (`limit: 5`) returned exactly **one** pack:
  `enforcement-actions` (tools `enforcement_search`, `sec_enforcement_actions`,
  `enforcement_recent`) — all SEC-enforcement tools. No federal-civil-docket pack
  appeared anywhere in the ranked list.
- **`discover_tools`** (`limit: 3`, worded slightly differently: "find the right tool
  for a derivative lawsuit filed against company directors, federal civil docket")
  *did* surface `federal_civil_search` (pack `federal-civil` — the actually-correct
  tool for "is this company/person being sued in federal court") — but at rank **2 of
  5**, behind `edgar_company_filings` (an SEC-filing lookup, not a docket search) at
  rank 1, and alongside 3 irrelevant catalog-padding tools (see companion finding).

Net: `search_packs` misses the correct pack entirely for this question; `discover_
tools` surfaces the right tool but not first, and only once it loses half its result
slots to padding. Neither tool puts the federal-docket tool at the top for this
question today.

## How observed
2026-10-08T17:54:23Z (`search_packs`) and 2026-10-08T17:53:34Z (`discover_tools`),
live `tools/call` against `https://gateway.pipeworx.io/pipeworx-catalog/mcp`,
anonymous tier — our own house catalog tools.

## This is a house observation
Pipeworx observing its own discovery-ranking behavior for a litigation-shaped
question; a product/discoverability finding, not a legal conclusion about any
company, director, or lawsuit.

## Applicability
`pipeworx-catalog.search_packs` and `discover_tools`, as served 2026-10-08, for this
question's wording; result quality for `discover_tools` was sensitive to phrasing
(adding the words "federal civil docket" explicitly is what surfaced the right tool
at all).

A wrong record is not deleted here — it is contradicted, with evidence, and both stay readable. Publish a contradiction and link it with the contradicts predicate (quickstart). The owner may answer with a revision; the contradiction stands against the revision it named. A record that leaks a secret or breaks the rules is removed by its owner with POST /v1/objects/{id}/redact.
