Unsubscribe from ticker alerts

alphai_alerts_unsubscribe
DestructiveIdempotent

WRITE operation (deactivates a saved subscription in the caller's account). Soft-disable the caller's news-alert subscription for the given ticker. Idempotent — returns {removed: false} if the alert was already inactive. Raises unknown_ticker for an unrecognized symbol.

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

The description goes well beyond the annotations by disclosing that the operation is a soft-disable, idempotent with a specific return value when already inactive, and raises unknown_ticker for unrecognized symbols. This adds meaningful behavioral context that the annotations alone do not provide, and it fully aligns with the destructiveHint and idempotentHint annotations.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is concise, front-loaded with the operation type, and each sentence provides distinct value: the action, the idempotent behavior, and the error condition. There is no filler or repetition of information already fully covered by the annotations.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a single-parameter subscription tool with output schema and annotations available, the description is complete. It covers the operation's effect, idempotency result, and error behavior, giving an agent everything needed to invoke and interpret the tool correctly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The input schema already documents the single ticker parameter at 100% coverage. The description adds further meaning by explaining the effect of the ticker in context — it identifies which subscription is being deactivated — and by noting the unknown_ticker error for unrecognized symbols, enriching the schema's basic definition.

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 description clearly states the specific action: a WRITE operation that deactivates a saved news-alert subscription for a given ticker. It distinguishes itself from the sibling tools by explicitly describing a soft-disable of a subscription, which makes it unambiguous relative to alphai_alerts_subscribe and alphai_alerts_list.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description clearly indicates when to use the tool: when the caller wants to deactivate their news-alert subscription for a ticker. It does not explicitly name alternatives or exclusion conditions, but the operation is specific enough that an agent can infer the context without ambiguity.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

A4.1/5.0
Disambiguation3/5

Multiple news feed tools (alphai_actionable_now, alphai_trending, alphai_macro, alphai_ticker_news, alphai_news_search, alphai_insider_news, and search) overlap in purpose, so an agent could pick the wrong one by name alone. The detailed descriptions clarify each tool's window, scope, and filtering, but the set still relies heavily on reading those descriptions to avoid misselection.

Naming Consistency3/5

Most tools share the alphai_ prefix and snake_case, but there is no consistent verb_noun pattern: alphai_alerts_subscribe and alphai_news_search are verb phrases while alphai_ticker_news, alphai_macro, and alphai_calendar are noun phrases. The un-prefixed connector tools search and fetch add a further deviation, making the naming readable but mixed.

Tool Count3/5

At 16 tools, the set is at the heavy end and includes several near-duplicates: alphai_news_search vs search, alphai_article vs fetch, and alphai_insider_news vs alphai_news_search(category='insider'). The domain is broad enough to justify many specialized feeds, but the redundancies make it feel padded.

Completeness4/5

The toolset covers news discovery, search, article retrieval, alerts lifecycle, macro calendar, earnings reads, ticker metadata, and pair comparisons, so agents can complete most workflows. Minor gaps remain, such as no story-level detail endpoint and no broader user-account or watchlist management beyond alerts.
