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.

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations indicate this is a write operation (readOnlyHint=false), idempotent, and not destructive. The description adds context beyond annotations: it explains the creation effect, required authentication, and limits (e.g., 10/day SMS cap). 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.

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is well-structured with clear sections for types and delivery channels, but it is somewhat lengthy. It front-loads the core purpose but includes many examples and details that, while useful, could be slightly trimmed.

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?

The description thoroughly covers all subscription types, delivery options, prerequisites, and constraints. Despite no output schema, it mentions the return of a subscription id. It addresses likely user questions about authentication, phone verification, webhook signing, and rate limits.

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%, but the description adds significant meaning: it explains each enum value in 'type' with examples (e.g., sec_8k for 8-K filings with ticker and items) and details the 'params' and 'delivery' objects with constraints and syntax. This far exceeds the schema descriptions.

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 subscription to a live-data event stream and returns a subscription id. It specifies the resource (subscription) and action (create), and distinguishes from sibling tools like list_subscriptions and unsubscribe.

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 provides explicit guidance: requires Pipeworx OAuth account, and details delivery channels with constraints like phone verification and 10/day cap. It implicitly guides when to use this tool (to set up monitoring) but does not explicitly name alternatives for other use cases.

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

A3.8/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

The toolset contains several near-duplicate clusters: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, ask_pipeworx_grounded, and deep_research all route the same kinds of questions, and the six polymarket tools have heavily overlapping scopes. An agent would frequently struggle to pick the right variant despite the detailed descriptions.

Naming Consistency4/5

Names consistently use lowercase snake_case with a verb-first or domain-prefixed pattern (ask_pipeworx, resolve_entity, validate_claim, polymarket_arbitrage). Minor deviations like bare nouns (datasets, metadata) are acceptable but not perfectly uniform.

Tool Count2/5

34 tools is far beyond what a Utah Open Data server needs; only 3 tools actually relate to the named domain. The rest form a sprawling general-purpose Pipeworx/prediction-market platform, making the surface feel bloated for its stated purpose.

Completeness3/5

For the actual Utah Open Data catalog, datasets/query/metadata is a complete read-only surface. But for the broader Pipeworx functionality the set actually delivers, there are odd gaps (no account management beyond subscriptions) and many irrelevant tools, so overall coverage is uneven.
