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?

Beyond the readOnly/idempotent annotations, the description discloses several behavioral traits: snapshots are written only on cache-miss, history depth is bounded by a 60-day TTL, and decay uses daily closes net of default slippage. It also explains the signed edge_pp_net convention and what gaps in snapshot_dates mean.

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 long but highly structured into Args, RESPONSE, and LIMITS sections, with each sentence carrying meaningful information. It is front-loaded with the purpose and uses formatting to separate concerns, though it is denser than strictly necessary.

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?

For a tool with no output schema, the description fully specifies the response structure (tracked[], expired[], snapshot_dates[]), their fields and interpretations, as well as data limitations. This gives an agent everything needed to invoke and interpret the tool correctly.

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?

The input schema already documents both parameters with defaults and clamps (100% coverage). The description repeats this information with slightly less precision (omits lower clamp for days) and adds no new semantics beyond what the schema provides.

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 'Edge persistence and decay telemetry built from daily polymarket_edges snapshots', which clearly identifies the tool's specific function. It answers a concrete question ('how long has this edge existed and is it shrinking?') and distinguishes it from sibling tools like polymarket_edges by focusing on historical tracking.

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 provides strong context about when this tool is relevant: it contrasts fresh vs. old edges and highlights the competitive insight from expired[] lifespans. The LIMITS section implicitly defines boundaries (not intraday, 60-day TTL) but no explicit alternative tool is named.

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

Several tool families have genuine boundary ambiguity: ask_pipeworx and ask_pipeworx_beta are currently identical in behavior, and the five Polymarket tools (arbitrage, edges, edge_tracker, fill_risk, kalshi_spread) all live in the 'find/pursue an edge' space, requiring an agent to parse very long descriptions to choose correctly. The IP, memory, and subscription tools are clearly distinct, but the overlap-prone families cause real misselection risk.

Naming Consistency3/5

All names are snake_case and each family is internally consistent (polymarket_*, ask_pipeworx_*, subscribe/unsubscribe, remember/recall/forget). However, conventions mix across the set: verb_noun (geolocate_ip, resolve_entity, validate_claim) coexists with noun-first names (entity_profile, pipeworx_feedback, recent_alerts) and bare verbs (remember, forget), so there is no predictable global pattern.

Tool Count2/5

At 33 tools the set exceeds the heavy threshold, and the server name 'iplookup' covers only 2 of them; the remaining 31 form a sprawling data-research, prediction-market, memory, and subscription platform with tangential utilities like generate_llms_txt and scan_dependency. The broad scope means few tools are individually useless, but the server reads as a kitchen sink rather than a focused toolkit.

Completeness3/5

As an IP-lookup service the surface is thin: only geolocation and ISP data, with no WHOIS, reverse DNS, proxy/VPN detection, or reputation records. As a data-research platform the surface is strong (universal query routing, grounded verification, entity profiles, comparisons, subscription lifecycle, memory). This lopsidedness makes the actual domain ambiguous and leaves the namesake use case under-covered.
