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

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.

TDQS

A3.9/5.0
Behavior1/5

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

The description contradicts the idempotentHint annotation: it states 'Returns the new subscription id,' implying non-idempotent creation, while idempotentHint=true suggests idempotency. This inconsistency warrants a score of 1. The description otherwise provides rich behavioral context, but the contradiction lowers the score.

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 well-structured with clear sections and examples, but it is lengthy. It efficiently conveys necessary information without irrelevant details, earning a score of 4.

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 (3 parameters, nested objects, enums, delivery channels), the description is remarkably complete. It covers all relevant aspects: prerequisites, type-specific params, delivery options with constraints, and return value. No output schema exists, but the description adequately explains the return value.

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?

Schema coverage is 100%, providing a baseline of 3. The description adds substantial meaning by explaining each enum value for type with concrete examples and specific parameter structures, and details delivery options with constraints, significantly enhancing understanding beyond 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 clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Create a proactive monitoring subscription to a live-data event stream.' It uses a specific verb and resource, and distinguishes it from siblings like list_subscriptions 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 Guidelines4/5

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

The description mentions prerequisites (Pipeworx OAuth account) and provides examples for each subscription type with parameters, implying when to use each. However, it lacks explicit 'when not to use' or direct comparisons to sibling tools beyond a brief mention of the feed channel.

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

Many tools have overlapping purposes, especially the Pipeworx query tools (ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research) and Polymarket analysis tools (bet_research, polymarket_edges, polymarket_arbitrage). While descriptions are detailed, the similarity in function could confuse an agent trying to select the right one.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a consistent snake_case pattern (e.g., ai_visibility_check, ask_pipeworx, bet_research, compare_entities). No mixing of conventions (camelCase, PascalCase) is observed, making it predictable.

Tool Count3/5

With 34 tools, the server is on the heavy side. The majority are Pipeworx tools covering many domains, but the count exceeds the typical sweet spot of 3-15 tools. Some consolidation could reduce redundancy.

Completeness4/5

The tool surface covers a wide range of data access and analysis (Nantes open data, SEC filings, Polymarket, entity comparison, dependency scanning). Minor gaps exist, such as limited Nantes data operations (only query and info) and some tools requiring external accounts, but the overall scope is comprehensive.
