Polymarket Arbitrage

polymarket_arbitrage
Read-onlyIdempotent

Find arbitrage opportunities on Polymarket via monotonicity violations + partition-sum checks. Call with NO args for a trending_scan of the top ~200 markets by weekly volume; pass event for the strongest per-event partition_check, or topic for a themed cross-event scan. event (recommended for a specific market): pass a Polymarket event slug like "fed-decision-may-2026" or "when-will-bitcoin-hit-150k"; walks child markets, checks date-axis / threshold-axis ordering AND computes the partition_check (sum of YES prices across mutually-exclusive legs — should ≈1; deviations >3pp emit a BUY/SELL EVERY LEG signal). topic (for cross-event scanning): pass a seed question like "Strait of Hormuz traffic returns to normal" or "Fed rate decision"; searches related events across the platform, flattens markets, runs the comparator on the union. Cross-event mode catches "...by May 31" vs "...by Jun 30" patterns that single-event misses. SEMANTIC ANCHOR: cross-event pairs require ≥0.30 Jaccard similarity on question tokens (prevents Powell-Fed-Pause being paired with Powell-DOJ-probe); skipped_low_similarity surfaces the rejected pair count. PARTITION FILTER: drops will-person-X / will-manager-Y / will-someone-else- placeholder slugs; partitions with >20% placeholder fraction return null arb signal. Response: opportunities[] (gap_pp, suggested_trade, reasoning, monotonicity violation context), and in event mode partition_check{sum_yes_prices, gap_from_1, placeholders_filtered, suggested_trade}. FILL CHECK: when the partition signal fires, arbitrage.fill_check prices it against live CLOB depth (theoretical_edge_pp_at_book vs realizable_edge_pp at 1000 shares/leg, thin_legs[]) — realizable_edge_pp ≤ 0 means the overround exists only at last-trade, not in the book; do not trade it. For custom sizing use polymarket_fill_risk.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
eventNoSingle-event mode (use this if you know the specific Polymarket event): event slug like "fed-decision-may-2026" or "when-will-bitcoin-hit-150k". Full Polymarket URLs also accepted.
topicNoCross-event mode (use this if you want to scan related events across the platform): a topic or seed question like "Fed rate decision" or "Strait of Hormuz traffic returns to normal". Tool searches Polymarket for related events and checks monotonicity across them.

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already indicate read-only, idempotent, open-world, and non-destructive hints. The description adds extensive behavioral details: walks child markets, checks order and partition sums, performs fill checks against live order book, filters partitions with placeholders, and uses semantic similarity to prevent mismatches. 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.

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is dense but front-loaded with the core purpose and modes. While thorough, it could benefit from clearer section breaks or bullet points to improve readability. However, every sentence adds value and avoids 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?

Despite lacking an output schema, the description details the response structure (opportunities array, partition_check object, fill_check fields) and references related tools. For a complex tool with no output schema, it is remarkably complete, covering behavior, constraints, and edge cases.

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 significant meaning: explains what event slugs look like, that full URLs work, what topic strings are used for, and how the behavior differs between parameters. It provides examples and clarifies internal logic like semantic anchor and partition filter.

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: finding arbitrage opportunities on Polymarket via monotonicity violations and partition-sum checks. It distinguishes three modes (trending_scan, event, topic) with explicit details.

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?

The description provides explicit guidance on when to use each parameter: no args for trending scan, event for a specific market slug, topic for cross-event scanning. It also mentions an alternative (polymarket_fill_risk for custom sizing) and conditions like when not to trade.

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

A3.6/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Several tool clusters are hard to distinguish: ask_pipeworx_beta explicitly states it 'currently matches ask_pipeworx exactly', creating a literal duplicate, and the six polymarket_* tools all orbit 'find a trading edge on prediction markets' with only subtle differences in scope. ask_pipeworx / ask_pipeworx_grounded / validate_claim / deep_research also overlap on fact-finding, and discover_tools vs suggest_questions both serve 'what can I do here' discovery. The memory trio and subscription lifecycle are clean, but the central Q&A and prediction-market areas carry real misselection risk.

Naming Consistency2/5

The set mixes several incompatible conventions: bare verbs (query, recall, forget, remember), noun phrases (entity_profile, dataset_info), verb_noun pairs (search_datasets, compare_entities, validate_claim), and prefixed families (polymarket_*, ask_pipeworx_*, pipeworx_*). Family prefixes provide local consistency, but there is no unifying pattern across the server, and the three SNCF tools follow a different style from the Pipeworx tools. The naming reads as several mini-servers bolted together rather than one coherent API.

Tool Count2/5

At 34 tools, the count exceeds the comfortable range and is inflated by genuine redundancy: ask_pipeworx_beta duplicates ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_grounded is a paid variant, scan_competitor_ai_presence wraps ai_visibility_check, and six Polymarket tools could plausibly be consolidated. The server name promises a narrow SNCF data scope, yet 31 of 34 tools serve an unrelated universal data / prediction-market platform, making the count feel both bloated and mismatched to the server's stated identity.

Completeness3/5

For the dominant inferred domain (Pipeworx structured-data Q&A, research, and prediction markets), the surface is quite complete: discovery, routing, grounded answers, deep research, claim verification, entity resolution, profiles, comparisons, change feeds, subscriptions, and memory are all present. However, relative to the server's stated name 'Data Sncf', the SNCF surface is minimal (search -> metadata -> query) with no update feeds, record-level fetch, or live railway status, and the two domains never connect. The orphaned single-purpose tools (generate_llms_txt, scan_dependency) further fragment the sense of a coherent domain.
