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

TableJSON 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.

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations indicate a write operation (readOnlyHint=false), idempotent (idempotentHint=true), and non-destructive (destructiveHint=false). The description elaborates on OAuth necessity, SMS cap, webhook auto-disable, and signing secret—adding useful behavioral context beyond annotations, though it could mention idempotency explicitly.

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 detailed yet well-structured; it opens with the primary action, then systematically covers types and delivery options. Every sentence adds value, though the length could be trimmed by grouping some examples.

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 (3 parameters, nested objects, no output schema), the description is comprehensive: it covers authentication, type-specific params, delivery channels, constraints (SMS cap, webhook auto-disable), and expected return value. No output schema is needed as the return is clearly stated.

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 has 100% description coverage; the description further enriches with concrete examples for each type and delivery channel (e.g., parameters format for sec_8k, delivery constraints). This adds meaningful context beyond the schema alone.

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 creates a proactive monitoring subscription, returns a new subscription ID, and lists supported event types and delivery channels. It distinguishes itself from siblings like 'unsubscribe' and 'list_subscriptions' by being the creation tool.

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 includes prerequisites (Pipeworx OAuth account, not anonymous/BYO), gives type-specific examples (e.g., sec_8k for SEC filings, polymarket_edge for cross-venue arbitrage), and mentions delivery channel constraints. However, it does not explicitly contrast with alternative tools for retrieving or managing subscriptions.

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

A4/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have distinct purposes with detailed descriptions. However, the three ask_pipeworx variants (standard, beta, grounded) and the five polymarket tools (arbitrage, edges, edge_tracker, fill_risk, kalshi_spread) have overlapping functionality that could confuse an agent if descriptions are not carefully parsed. The memory tools (remember, recall, forget) are clear. Overall, the set is mostly disambiguated.

Naming Consistency3/5

Tool names use snake_case consistently, but naming patterns vary: some follow verb_noun (e.g., ai_visibility_check, compare_entities), others are noun_noun (e.g., bet_research, entity_profile), and a few are single verbs (e.g., recall, remember, forget, subscribe). This mixed pattern reduces predictability, though the names are still readable.

Tool Count2/5

At 35 tools, the server is overly broad, covering Belgian rail, Pipeworx data queries, prediction markets, memory, subscriptions, and more. The server name 'Irail' suggests a focused rail toolset, but rail is only a small part. This scope mismatch and high tool count make it feel bloated and less coherent.

Completeness4/5

Within each subdomain, the tool surface is fairly complete. Belgian rail has journey planning, liveboard, train tracking, and disturbances. Data querying has universal, grounded, deep research, entity profiles, comparisons, recent changes, and claim validation. Prediction markets have arbitrage, edge detection, edge tracking, fill risk, and cross-venue spread. Memory and subscriptions are covered. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no tool for deleting entities or canceling orders), but overall coverage is strong.
