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 idempotent, non-destructive, non-readonly. Description adds: requires OAuth, returns subscription id, SMS cap (10/day), webhook auto-disable after 10 failures, verification step for SMS. No contradictions.

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?

Well-structured: purpose first, then prerequisites, then type options, then delivery channels. Length is justified—every sentence adds value. Slightly verbose but efficient for a complex tool.

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?

Complex tool with multiple types and delivery options; description covers prerequisites, type-specific params, delivery behaviors, limits, and return value. No output schema but declares subscription id return. Complete for agent selection and invocation.

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 coverage 100%, baseline 3. Description adds type-specific examples, delivery channel details (webhook signing, SMS verification, email). Significantly enriches param meaning.

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?

Clear verb+resource: 'Create a proactive monitoring subscription to a live-data event stream.' Returns subscription id. Distinguishes from siblings like list_subscriptions and unsubscribe.

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 explicit prerequisite (Pipeworx OAuth account) and alternatives for each type and delivery channel. Implicitly not for one-off lookups—use siblings. Lacks explicit when-not-to-use but offers strong contextual guidance.

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

B3.4/5.0
Disambiguation3/5

Many tools have distinct purposes, but there is overlap, e.g., ask_pipeworx vs ask_pipeworx_grounded vs deep_research all for data lookup, and multiple Polymarket tools. Descriptions are detailed enough to distinguish, but the set is confusing.

Naming Consistency2/5

Naming is highly inconsistent: snake_case (ai_visibility_check), verb_noun (resolve_entity), underscores (ask_pipeworx), and domain-specific prefixes (polymarket_). No consistent pattern across tools.

Tool Count2/5

With 38 tools spanning geospatial, data lookup, prediction markets, memory, feedback, etc., the count is too high for a coherent server. Many tools are one-off and unrelated to the server's name (Maptiler).

Completeness2/5

The tool set covers many areas but lacks obvious gaps for each domain (e.g., MapTiler only has 4 tools). The overall surface is a collection of unrelated features, not a cohesive domain, so completeness is poor for any single purpose.
