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?

Annotations indicate creation (readOnlyHint=false) and non-destructive behavior. Description adds significant behavioral context: OAuth requirement, delivery channel behavior (persistent feed, optional email/sms/webhook), SMS cap, webhook HMAC signing and auto-disable after 10 failures. No contradiction 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?

Description is appropriately sized for a complex tool, well-structured with clear sections (purpose, requirements, type examples, delivery channels). Every sentence adds value, front-loaded with the core action and return value.

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 subscription types, delivery options, OAuth requirement) and no output schema, the description covers all essential aspects: input constraints, parameter details, side effects, and return value. No gaps.

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%, and the description adds substantial meaning beyond schema: explains each subscription type's params structure inline (e.g., sec_8k items codes, polymarket_edge topic), clarifies delivery sub-fields (SMS verification, webhook signing details), and documents constraints. Greatly reduces ambiguity.

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 creates a proactive monitoring subscription to a live-data event stream and returns the subscription ID. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools 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?

Provides explicit usage context: requires a Pipeworx OAuth account, lists supported subscription types with examples, and details delivery channel options and constraints (e.g., SMS cap, webhook auto-disable). Does not explicitly state when not to use or mention alternatives, but the guidance is thorough.

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

A3.9/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Multiple tools overlap heavily: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research, and validate_claim all route questions to the same 5,798-tool catalog and can return similar evidence-backed answers. Additionally, polymarket_arbitrage, polymarket_edges, polymarket_fill_risk, polymarket_edge_tracker, and bet_research all circle prediction-market edge detection, creating boundary ambiguity despite detailed descriptions.

Naming Consistency3/5

Most tools follow a verb_noun or noun_verb pattern (e.g., list_subscriptions, generate_llms_txt, scan_dependency, compare_entities, resolve_entity), and consistent snake_case is used throughout. However, some names are vague and unclear (query, metadata, recall, forget, datasets), and the ask_pipeworx family is not clearly versioned in naming.

Tool Count2/5

34 tools is heavy for a server that is conceptually a data-access gateway plus a few meta utilities. The count is inflated by multiple near-duplicate research modes (ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research) and an extensive prediction-market subfamily that could be consolidated.

Completeness4/5

The server covers its main domains well: entity resolution, company profiles, comparisons, change feeds, claim verification, grounded Q&A, and data discovery all exist. Minor gaps include no obvious tool for general web search or full-text legal records, and the subscription/alert system lacks an update-subscription tool, but core workflows have no dead ends.
