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.

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Adds significant behavior beyond annotations: subscription persistence, OAuth requirement, SMS daily cap, webhook signing secret and auto-disable after failures. Contradicts no annotations (readOnlyHint=false, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false are consistent).

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 well-organized, front-loading the core purpose. Every sentence adds value, though the enumeration of types could be more concise. Still efficiently communicates complex behavior.

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 complexity (3 parameters, nested objects, no output schema), the description fully explains all types, delivery options, preconditions, and edge cases (SMS verification, webhook secret one-time return, auto-disable). No gaps identified.

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 description goes far beyond by providing type-specific parameter examples (e.g., items codes for sec_8k, topic for polymarket_edge), and extended delivery channel details including webhook signature verification and error 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's purpose: 'Create a proactive monitoring subscription to a live-data event stream' with verb 'create' and resource 'subscription'. It distinguishes from siblings like 'list_subscriptions' and 'unsubscribe' by its proactive monitoring nature.

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 context: requires Pipeworx OAuth account (non-anonymous), lists supported subscription types with examples, and details delivery channels. Lacks direct comparison to sibling tools but includes constraints like SMS cap and webhook auto-disable.

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

The ask_pipeworx family—ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, ask_pipeworx_grounded—plus deep_research all describe the same router under slightly different modes, and the six polymarket tools overlap heavily around edge detection and arbitrage. ai_visibility_check and scan_competitor_ai_presence are also near-duplicates, so agents will frequently have to choose between tools that appear to do the same thing.

Naming Consistency3/5

All names use snake_case and several families share prefixes (ask_pipeworx, polymarket_, pipeworx_, destatis_), which helps discoverability. However the pattern is not consistent: bare verbs (remember, recall, forget), adjective_noun phrases (recent_alerts, recent_changes), and noun_noun names (entity_profile, bet_research) are all mixed.

Tool Count2/5

With 33 tools, the surface is well past the 25+ threshold and mixes unrelated concerns: Destatis statistics, a general data router, prediction-market analytics, memory, and AI-marketing scans. The count could be justified if split into separate servers, but as one set it feels over-stuffed.

Completeness4/5

For the broad data-retrieval/research purpose the descriptions reveal, coverage is strong: lookup, grounded answers, validation, entity resolution, comparison, change feeds, subscriptions, memory, and Destatis search/table are all present. The only notable weakness is that the Destatis-specific surface is just search-and-fetch, which is thin for a server literally named Destatis, but this is offset by the general router.
