Polymarket Edge Tracker

polymarket_edge_tracker
Read-onlyIdempotent

Edge persistence and decay telemetry built from daily polymarket_edges snapshots. Answers "how long has this edge existed and is it shrinking?" — a fresh wide edge and a 3-week-old wide edge are different trades (the latter is wide for a reason nobody is willing to take). Args: days (lookback, default 14, max 30), window (snapshot family, default "1wk"). RESPONSE: tracked[] = every opportunity in the LATEST snapshot with its full edge_pp_net time-series across prior snapshots, first_seen, trend (new | widening | stable | decaying) and decay_pp_per_day (both computed on |edge_pp_net| — the value itself is signed by trade direction, negative = SELL YES); expired[] = opportunities that appeared in earlier snapshots but are GONE from the latest (closed, resolved, or arbed away) with their lifespan_days — the median lifespan is your competition clock; snapshot_dates[] = which days actually have data (snapshots are written when polymarket_edges runs on a cache-miss, so gaps mean nobody scanned that day). LIMITS: history depth is bounded by the 60-day snapshot TTL and starts from when snapshotting was enabled; decay numbers come from daily closes of edge_pp_net (net of default slippage), not intraday.

A4.4/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, and idempotentHint. The description adds significant extra context: history bounded by 60-day TTL, snapshots written on cache-miss, gaps mean no scan, and detailed return structure including computed trend and decay. This fully informs the agent of all behavioral traits beyond 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 fairly long but every sentence adds value. It is front-loaded with the core question and explains return fields in detail. Minor redundancy could be trimmed, but overall it is efficient for the information conveyed.

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 fully documents the return structure (tracked[], expired[], snapshot_dates[]) and addresses edge cases (gaps, TTL limits). For a tool with two parameters and moderate complexity, this is complete.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds marginal extra meaning (e.g., 'snapshot family' for window, 'lookback' for days) but does not provide syntax or format details beyond what the schema already states.

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 provides 'edge persistence and decay telemetry' from daily snapshots, answering the specific question of how long an edge has existed and whether it is shrinking. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like polymarket_edges (current edges) and polymarket_arbitrage.

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 implies when to use the tool by contrasting a fresh wide edge with a 3-week-old wide edge, indicating the tool helps assess edge persistence before trading. It does not explicitly state when not to use it or list alternatives, but the context is clear enough.

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

A4.3/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have clearly distinct purposes, but the ask_pipeworx trio (ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, ask_pipeworx_grounded) and the polymarket cluster (arbitrage, edges, edge_tracker, fill_risk, kalshi_spread) could cause confusion without careful reading. However, the detailed descriptions effectively differentiate each tool's specific role.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow consistent snake_case convention with a verb-noun pattern (e.g., compare_entities, recent_changes, resolve_entity). There are no mixed conventions or chaotic naming, making the set predictable and easy to navigate.

Tool Count4/5

At 34 tools, the set is extensive but justified by the server's broad scope covering Vermont open data, Pipeworx data platform, prediction markets, and utility features. Each tool earns its place, though the count is slightly high compared to typical servers.

Completeness4/5

The tool surface covers data retrieval, entity analysis, prediction markets, memory, subscriptions, feedback, and claim validation. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no direct compliance tools), but the set is comprehensive for its stated purpose of data integration and analysis.
