Recent Alerts

recent_alerts
Read-onlyIdempotent

Pull fired events from your subscription feed. Returns the most recent alerts the evaluator has written to your persisted feed — each carries source, citation_uri (pipeworx:// when available), and the raw event payload. Filter by type (e.g. "sec_8k") and/or since (ISO timestamp). Set mark_read:true to flag returned events read so the next call only shows newer ones. Polls work fine; the same feed is also at GET registry.pipeworx.io/alerts.json for scripts and dashboards.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
typeNoOptional — filter to one subscription type.
limitNoMax events to return (1-200, default 50).
sinceNoOptional ISO timestamp — return events fired_at >= this time.
mark_readNoFlag the returned events read in the same call (default false).
unread_onlyNoReturn only events where read_at is null (default false).

B3.4/5.0
Behavior1/5

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

Annotations declare readOnlyHint=true, but the description states 'Set mark_read:true to flag returned events read so the next call only shows newer ones,' implying a state change on the server. This contradicts readOnlyHint. While the description adds context about returned data and polling, the contradiction undermines transparency.

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 few concise sentences without fluff. It could be slightly more structured (e.g., bullet points), but overall efficient.

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

Completeness3/5

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

Given high schema coverage and annotations, the description covers return format, filtering, mark_read, and alternative access. However, the contradiction with annotations reduces completeness as the described behavior may mislead.

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?

Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds examples (type filter, ISO timestamp) and explains mark_read behavior, but does not significantly augment the schema descriptions.

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?

Clearly states the tool pulls fired events from subscription feed, returning recent alerts with source, citation_uri, and raw payload. The verb 'Pull' and resource 'fired events from your subscription feed' are specific and distinct from sibling tools like recent_changes or recent_samples.

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?

Provides good usage guidance: filters by type (e.g., 'sec_8k') and/or since (ISO timestamp), explains mark_read for tracking read state, and mentions polling works fine with an alternative URL. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools or state when not to use this tool.

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

B3.3/5.0
Disambiguation1/5

The server is named Malwarebazaar, yet 28 of 36 tools have nothing to do with malware—they cover general data lookup, SEC filings, Polymarket betting, memory, and npm scanning. Even within the malware tools, search_family, search_signature, search_tag, recent_samples, and get_sample_info overlap heavily, and the Pipeworx tools include near-duplicates like ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, and ask_pipeworx_grounded. An agent cannot reliably pick between these without reading lengthy descriptions.

Naming Consistency2/5

A few tools follow verb_noun patterns (search_family, search_tag, get_sample_info, list_subscriptions), but the set mixes styles: ask_pipeworx vs deep_research vs entity_profile vs polymarket_arbitrage vs generate_llms_txt vs scan_dependency. Prefixes are inconsistent (ask_*, polymarket_*, pipeworx_*, search_*, scan_*, get_*, list_*, recent_*), and there is no predictable convention tying names to their domain.

Tool Count2/5

36 tools is far beyond what a MalwareBazaar MCP server should expose; most of the tools actually belong to a separate Pipeworx data platform, with only 5-6 malware-specific tools. The count is heavy and unfocused, especially for a server whose name implies a single malware-intel corpus.

Completeness2/5

For the malware domain, the set covers lookup by hash, family, signature, tag, and recent samples, but lacks obvious operations like submitting a sample, downloading a sample, or getting detailed YARA rule hits. For the broader Pipeworx domain, the surface is sprawling and overlaps heavily (ask_pipeworx vs deep_research vs validate_claim vs bet_research), so the completeness is uneven—deep in some niches, missing core malware workflow actions.
