Idempotent

Create a proactive monitoring subscription to a live-data event stream. Returns the new subscription id. Requires a Pipeworx OAuth account (anonymous + BYO cannot persist subscriptions). Supported types: "sec_8k" (8-K filings matching ticker + item codes — e.g. items:["5.02"] = officer change), "polymarket_edge" (Polymarket↔Kalshi cross-venue mispricings — params:{topic:"fed"}), "fred_series" (new FRED observations — params:{series_id:"UNRATE"}). Delivery channels: feed (always on — pull via recent_alerts or GET registry.pipeworx.io/alerts.json), and optionally email (set delivery:{email:"you@x.com"}) or sms (delivery:{sms:"+15551234567"} — phone must be verified at /account first; 10/day cap).

A4.7/5.0

Behavior5/5

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

Despite annotations already conveying non-read-only and idempotent behavior, the description adds substantial operational details: account requirements, phone verification, SMS daily cap, webhook auto-disable after 10 failures, and one-time return of the webhook signing secret. This goes beyond the annotations and helps the agent manage side effects.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is front-loaded with purpose and return value, and every sentence contributes operational knowledge. However, it is a dense wall of text with many parentheticals; splitting into bullets or paragraphs for types and delivery channels would improve scannability without adding length.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Given the tool's complexity (three parameters, nested objects, multiple types, multiple delivery channels, no output schema), the description covers the return value, prerequisites, type-specific semantics, delivery behaviors, and limitations. It only lacks explanations for patent_grant and clinical_trial, but those are partially addressed in the input schema.

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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description enhances meaning for three of the five subscription types (sec_8k, polymarket_edge, fred_series) by explaining what they monitor, but it omits patent_grant and clinical_trial. It also adds practical delivery constraints (E.164, verified phone) that complement the schema.

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 opens with a specific verb+resource: "Create a proactive monitoring subscription to a live-data event stream" and promises the subscription id as return value. This clearly distincts from sibling tools like list_subscriptions, unsubscribe, and recent_alerts.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly states the prerequisite (Pipeworx OAuth account, anonymous/BYO cannot persist), provides alternatives to subscribing (pull via recent_alerts or GET registry.pipeworx.io/alerts.json), and enumerates supported subscription types with concrete examples. This gives clear when-to-use and when-not-to-use guidance.

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

B3.2/5.0

Disambiguation2/5

Several tight clusters of overlapping tools: ask_pipeworx/ask_pipeworx_beta/ask_pipeworx_grounded/deep_research all answer factual questions (beta is currently identical to stable per its own description), six Polymarket tools all surface betting/edge opportunities, and ai_visibility_check vs scan_competitor_ai_presence duplicate functionality. Despite long descriptions, an agent could easily pick the wrong tool.

Naming Consistency2/5

Naming mixes bare single-word nouns (address, block, node, stats, transaction), bare verbs (remember, recall, forget, subscribe), verb_noun compounds (generate_llms_txt, scan_dependency, compare_entities), and prefixed families (polymarket_*, pipeworx_*, ask_pipeworx*). Some clusters are internally consistent, but the blockchain endpoints break the verb convention entirely and there is no uniform pattern across the set.

Tool Count2/5

36 tools spanning at least six unrelated domains — blockchain explorer, structured-data research, prediction markets, AI visibility, memory, and subscriptions — is too heavy for a coherent server. The count exceeds the 25+ threshold and reflects scope creep rather than a focused purpose.

Completeness3/5

The Pipeworx research surface is near-complete (discover/resolve/ask/ground/verify/search-within plus entity/profile/compare), prediction markets are exhaustively covered, and memory/subscriptions have full lifecycles. But the server's namesake domain — Blockchair blockchain data — is thin at just five basic queries with no fee estimation, mempool, or deeper chain analytics, leaving notable gaps in the surface implied by the server name.
