Subscribe to Alerts

subscribe
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).

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
typeYesSubscription type.
paramsYesType-specific filter. sec_8k: {ticker:"AAPL", items?:["5.02","1.01"]}. polymarket_edge: {topic:"fed", min_spread_bps?:500}. fred_series: {series_id:"UNRATE"}. patent_grant: {applicant:"Apple Inc."}. clinical_trial: {sponsor?:"Pfizer", condition?:"lung cancer", phase?:"PHASE3"} (sponsor or condition required).
deliveryNoOptional delivery channels in addition to the always-on persistent feed. {email:"you@x.com"} sends a templated alert per fired event. {sms:"+15551234567"} sends an SMS per event — must match the verified phone on the caller's account (verify at https://pipeworx.io/account first; 10/day cap). {webhook:"https://..."} POSTs each event JSON to your endpoint, HMAC-signed — the response includes delivery.webhook_secret (whsec_…) ONCE; verify X-Pipeworx-Signature = sha256 HMAC of "<X-Pipeworx-Timestamp>.<raw body>". Auto-disabled after 10 consecutive failing runs.

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

The description adds extensive behavioral context beyond annotations: requires account type, details on supported event types, delivery channels (feed always on, optional email/SMS/webhook with constraints like SMS 10/day cap and webhook auto-disable after failures). No contradictions with 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 front-loaded with the core purpose and return value, then efficiently covers types, params, and delivery in a structured manner. Every sentence adds value without redundancy.

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?

Given the tool's complexity (multiple event types, delivery channels), the description covers prerequisites, type-specific parameters, delivery behavior, and constraints. No output schema exists, but the return value (subscription id) is mentioned. The description is sufficiently complete for correct invocation.

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

Parameters5/5

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

Despite 100% schema coverage, the description enriches parameter understanding with concrete examples and constraints for each type's params and delivery options. It goes beyond schema descriptions to clarify usage patterns.

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 explicitly states 'Create a proactive monitoring subscription to a live-data event stream' and 'Returns the new subscription id', clearly identifying the action and result. It distinguishes from siblings like list_subscriptions and unsubscribe by focusing on creation.

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 clarifies prerequisites (requires Pipeworx OAuth account) and supported types, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives. The context of subscription creation is evident, but lack of explicit when-not or alternative references prevents a 5.

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

Several tools have overlapping purposes, such as ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_grounded, and deep_research, which may confuse an agent about which to use for a given query. Additionally, the many prediction market tools (polymarket_arbitrage, polymarket_edges, etc.) have subtle distinctions that could lead to misselection.

Naming Consistency4/5

Tool names are predominantly lowercase with underscores and follow a descriptive pattern (e.g., compare_entities, resolve_entity, scan_dependency). There are minor deviations like bet_research vs. research-related tools, but the overall pattern is consistent.

Tool Count3/5

With 33 tools, the server covers many domains (data lookup, prediction markets, Montgomery County data, npm scanning, etc.), making it feel heavy. While each tool has a clear purpose, the broad scope borders on excessive for a single server.

Completeness3/5

The server provides a wide range of data access and analysis tools, but it lacks basic CRUD operations for its data sources (e.g., no way to create or update records in Montgomery County data or Pipeworx). Some domain coverage is incomplete (e.g., no tool for listing all Pipeworx tools, only discover_tools with top-N results).
