Recent Alerts

recent_alerts
Read-onlyIdempotent

Pull fired events from your subscription feed. Returns the most recent alerts the evaluator has written to your persisted feed — each carries source, citation_uri (pipeworx:// when available), and the raw event payload. Filter by type (e.g. "sec_8k") and/or since (ISO timestamp). Set mark_read:true to flag returned events read so the next call only shows newer ones. Polls work fine; the same feed is also at GET registry.pipeworx.io/alerts.json for scripts and dashboards.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
typeNoOptional — filter to one subscription type.
limitNoMax events to return (1-200, default 50).
sinceNoOptional ISO timestamp — return events fired_at >= this time.
mark_readNoFlag the returned events read in the same call (default false).
unread_onlyNoReturn only events where read_at is null (default false).

TDQS

A3.9/5.0
Behavior1/5

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

The description mentions that mark_read:true flags events as read, which implies a state modification. The annotations declare readOnlyHint=true, creating a contradiction. The description's transparency is undermined by this inconsistency.

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?

The description is three sentences long, front-loaded with the purpose, and covers all key aspects without extraneous words. Every sentence adds 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?

Despite no output schema, the description details return fields and optional behaviors (filtering, mark_read). It also notes polling suitability and an alternative access method, making it complete for an agent.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds value by providing an example for type ('sec_8k'), clarifying since as ISO timestamp, and explaining the effect of mark_read. This goes beyond 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 it retrieves recent alerts from the subscription feed, specifying the returned fields (source, citation_uri, payload). It distinguishes itself from siblings like list_subscriptions by focusing on events rather than subscriptions.

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 says 'Polls work fine' and provides an alternative URL for scripts/dashboards, giving context for usage. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or compare it to siblings.

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

A3.7/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

ask_pipeworx and ask_pipeworx_beta are explicitly identical right now, creating a true duplicate entry point, and the prediction-market cluster (bet_research, polymarket_arbitrage, polymarket_edges, polymarket_kalshi_spread) all detect mispricings with heavily overlapping descriptions. The detailed docs help, but an agent choosing among these will frequently misselect.

Naming Consistency3/5

The set mixes verb-first names (ask_pipeworx, compare_entities, discover_tools, subscribe) with noun-first names (polymarket_edges, entity_profile, ip_context, recent_changes) and bare verbs (remember, forget) without a unifying convention. Subfamilies are internally consistent (polymarket_*, ask_pipeworx_*, subscribe/unsubscribe), which keeps it readable, but there is no predictable server-wide pattern.

Tool Count2/5

32 tools is well into the too-many band, and several tools duplicate or wrap others: ask_pipeworx_beta is a redundant copy of ask_pipeworx, scan_competitor_ai_presence wraps ai_visibility_check, and bet_research overlaps polymarket_edges/arbitrage. The broad scope justifies a large set, but it would be tighter and clearer around 20-24 tools.

Completeness4/5

For the domain the descriptions actually define (structured-data research, company intelligence, prediction markets, subscriptions, memory), coverage is strong with few dead ends: subscription and memory lifecycles are complete, and research has routing/grounded/deep modes. However, the server is named Greynoise while only ip_context serves that domain, and side tools like generate_llms_txt and scan_dependency sit outside any core workflow.
