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).

  7. First observed

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior1/5

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

The description discloses important requirements (OAuth, phone verification, SMS caps, webhook auto-disable) beyond the annotations, but it contradicts the idempotentHint=true annotation by promising 'Returns the new subscription id', implying every call creates a distinct subscription. This is a direct annotation contradiction.

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 a single dense paragraph but front-loaded with the main action and then consistently organized by type and delivery channel. Concrete examples and caveats justify the length, though bullet points would improve scannability.

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 tool's complexity—three subscription types with nested parameters, multiple delivery channels, and no output schema—the description covers auth requirements, channel behaviors, rate limits, verification steps, response format, and failure handling. It is sufficiently complete for correct tool invocation aside from the idempotency contradiction.

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?

Input schema has 100% description coverage, so the baseline is 3. The description reinforces schema details (e.g., items:['5.02'], min_spread_bps, phone verification) without adding genuinely new parameter semantics beyond what the schema already explains.

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 opens with 'Create a proactive monitoring subscription to a live-data event stream', giving a specific verb (create), resource (subscription), and domain (live-data event stream). It distinguishes the tool from siblings like list_subscriptions and unsubscribe by clearly stating it creates a new subscription.

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?

It clearly states when to use the tool (to monitor types like sec_8k, polymarket_edge, fred_series) and prerequisites (Pipeworx OAuth account). However, it does not explicitly mention when not to use it or point to alternatives such as recent_alerts for one-off pulls, so it lacks exclusions.

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

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Several tool clusters have fuzzy boundaries: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research, discover_tools, and suggest_questions all overlap on 'find and query data,' while the five polymarket_* tools plus bet_research form a heavily overlapping prediction-market cluster. The three genuine InterPro tools are clear, but an agent would frequently struggle to pick the right meta-tool.

Naming Consistency3/5

Most tools follow a readable snake_case verb-first pattern like compare_entities, resolve_entity, and validate_claim. However, bare verbs (remember, forget, recall), product-prefixed nouns (pipeworx_feedback, pipeworx_trending), and variant suffixes (ask_pipeworx_beta, ask_pipeworx_grounded) break the pattern enough to feel inconsistent.

Tool Count2/5

34 tools is well above the typical well-scoped range, and many tools duplicate or partially overlap each other's functionality. The count is further inflated by unrelated domains—AI visibility, prediction markets, memory, subscriptions, package auditing—bundled into a server nominally named 'Interpro.'

Completeness2/5

The InterPro subset (search_entries, get_entry, entries_for_protein) is minimal and lacks obvious protein/proteome-level operations, while the rest of the server covers so many unrelated domains that no single domain has clear end-to-end coverage. The Pipeworx query side is broad, but the overall surface feels like several incomplete toolsets merged rather than one complete product.
