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.

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations cover basic flags (readOnlyHint false, idempotentHint true, destructiveHint false), but the description adds substantial context: OAuth requirement, phone verification and daily cap, webhook auto-disable after 10 failures, and that the signing secret is returned only once. This fully discloses operational behavior beyond 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 dense but well-structured, with a clear opening and semi-colon separated details. Every sentence provides necessary information, though the length is high; it could be slightly more scannable with bullet points, but it remains appropriate for the tool's complexity.

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?

This is a complex tool with nested objects, five subscription types, and multiple delivery channels. With no output schema, the description adequately explains return values (subscription id, one-time webhook secret), auth matters, type-specific params, and delivery limitations. No significant gaps remain.

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

Parameters5/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, but the description enriches parameter meaning with concrete examples and semantic notes, such as 'items:["5.02"] = officer change' and the detailed conditions for each subscription type. It also clarifies delivery parameter behavior (verified phone, webhook HMAC signing), adding value beyond the raw schema.

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 a specific verb and resource: 'Create a proactive monitoring subscription to a live-data event stream.' It clearly distinguishes from siblings like list_subscriptions and unsubscribe by emphasizing the creation of a new subscription and the return of a new subscription id.

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 clear context for when to use the tool (proactive monitoring) and includes prerequisites (requires Pipeworx OAuth, anonymous/BYO can't persist), plus delivery channel constraints. However, it does not explicitly name alternative tools or state when not to use this tool, losing a point.

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

ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, and ask_pipeworx_grounded share the same routing and response shape, while the polymarket_* family and company-research tools (entity_profile, compare_entities, recent_changes) have overlapping triggers. The descriptions are detailed, but an agent can still easily select the wrong variant.

Naming Consistency3/5

Names are readable and consistently snake_case, with recognizable families like ask_pipeworx_*, polymarket_*, and pipeworx_*. However, conventions mix verb_noun patterns (compare_entities, resolve_entity) with noun phrases (entity_profile, recent_alerts, pipeworx_trending), so the pattern is not fully consistent.

Tool Count2/5

32 tools is heavy for any single server, and nearly all of them are unrelated to the 'Jsonschema' name—only validate_json_schema actually addresses JSON Schema. Even viewed as a Pipeworx data/research toolkit, the set feels bloated with near-duplicate query and prediction-market variants.

Completeness2/5

If the intended domain is JSON Schema, the surface is severely incomplete: only validation exists, with no parsing, generation, or schema-management tools. If the intended domain is the Pipeworx data-research suite, it is more complete but still lacks a raw record-fetch tool despite citations promising pipeworx:// URIs, and the server-name mismatch creates a confusing dead end.
