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.

A4/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations indicate idempotentHint=true, but the description says 'Create a new subscription id' suggesting non-idempotent behavior. This contradiction lowers the score. However, the description does add important behavioral details such as delivery channel constraints and webhook signing.

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 front-loaded purpose and clear sections for requirements, types, and delivery. It is comprehensive without being overly verbose.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The description covers all essential aspects: purpose, required account, type-specific parameters, delivery options, and return value (subscription ID). It leaves minor gaps like error handling but is largely complete for a subscription-creation tool.

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?

The description provides extensive context beyond the schema, including examples for each type, format for params, and detailed explanations for delivery channels including verification and limits. This greatly aids the agent in correctly invoking the tool.

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 and returns a subscription ID. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like unsubscribe, list_subscriptions, and recent_alerts by focusing on creation.

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 mentions requirements (OAuth account) and explains supported types and delivery options, but does not explicitly guide when to choose subscription over other tools. However, the verb and context imply usage.

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

A3.9/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

The four legislation tools are clearly distinct, but the set as a whole is confusing: ask_pipeworx and ask_pipeworx_beta are explicitly identical right now, and entity_profile, compare_entities, recent_changes, validate_claim, and ask_pipeworx_grounded have overlapping research/verification purposes. The 31 non-legislation tools also create constant ambiguity about which tool to pick for a UK law question.

Naming Consistency4/5

Names are uniformly lowercase snake_case and mostly follow recognizable verb-led or prefixed patterns (get_legislation, search_legislation, ask_pipeworx, polymarket_*). Minor deviations like entity_profile, bet_research, and recent_changes are noun-phrase style rather than verb_noun, but there is no camelCase mixing or chaotic convention.

Tool Count1/5

A server named 'Legislation Uk' has 35 tools, only 4 of which relate to UK legislation; the rest are Pipeworx data-platform, prediction-market, memory, and subscription utilities. This is an extreme mismatch between the tool count and the server's apparent purpose.

Completeness4/5

The UK legislation portion covers the core read workflow well: search_legislation finds a statute, get_legislation returns metadata, and get_legislation_text/get_legislation_section provide full or section-level text with versioning. Minor gaps exist, such as no dedicated amendment-history or cross-version diff tool, but there are no dead ends for typical lookups.
