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.

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

The description fully discloses behavioral traits: write operation (creates subscription), idempotent (annotation), and non-destructive. It adds critical context beyond annotations: requires OAuth, returns ID, delivery constraints (SMS cap, webhook auto-disable after 10 failures, phone verification needed). 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 a clear lead sentence, then requirements, types, and delivery details. It is slightly verbose on webhook HMAC steps but remains efficient and front-loaded.

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 tool is complex with 3 parameters (one nested object) and no output schema. The description covers prerequisites, all subscription types with parameter examples, return values, and delivery constraints with error handling (auto-disable). It is thorough for the tool's complexity.

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 concrete examples for each subscription type (e.g., sec_8k items, polymarket_edge topic) and explains nested delivery fields (webhook secret, HMAC). This enhances understanding beyond the schema's 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 states a specific verb ('Create') and resource ('proactive monitoring subscription'), and includes the return value ('Returns the new subscription id'). It clearly distinguishes from siblings 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 explicitly mentions the requirement for a Pipeworx OAuth account, lists supported types with examples, and details delivery channels. However, it does not explicitly state when to avoid using this tool or direct users to alternatives (e.g., manage existing subscriptions via list_subscriptions/unsubscribe), though context signals provide sibling names.

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

Several tools have overlapping or nested roles: ask_pipeworx_beta is explicitly identical to ask_pipeworx currently, ask_pipeworx_grounded uses the same router, and polymarket_arbitrage/polymarket_edges both surface mispricings. ai_visibility_check and scan_competitor_ai_presence are also tightly coupled, making tool selection error-prone.

Naming Consistency3/5

Names are uniformly snake_case and mostly readable, but the pattern is mixed: verb-first names like extract_links and discover_tools coexist with noun-first product names like polymarket_edges and entity_profile, plus bare verbs like remember and forget. This breaks the predictable verb_noun convention.

Tool Count2/5

34 tools is far too many for a server named Htmltext, and most tools are unrelated to HTML processing. Even as a broad data-research server, the count exceeds the usual 3-15 sweet spot and includes meta-tools, near-duplicate query modes, and niche utilities that bloat the surface.

Completeness3/5

The set is unusually broad—covering data research, prediction markets, memory, subscriptions, HTML extraction, AI visibility, and package scanning—but no single domain is fully fleshed out. HTML tools only do extraction, prediction-market tools lack a simple market browser, and there is no general web fetch tool. Most gaps can be worked around via ask_pipeworx, but the surface feels like a grab bag rather than a cohesive lifecycle.
