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

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).

A4.4/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false. The description adds concrete behavioral details: return fields (source, citation_uri, payload), mark_read side effect, and that polls work fine. No contradiction with annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Four sentences, front-loaded with purpose, followed by details. Every sentence adds value with no redundancy. Well-structured and concise.

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?

Despite no output schema, the description covers return payload details, filtering options, mark_read behavior, and alternative access method. It is complete for a read-only polling tool with good annotations.

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 is 100% with descriptions. The description adds value by giving examples (type 'sec_8k', ISO timestamp) and explaining mark_read behavior ('flag returned events read so the next call only shows newer ones'). This enriches understanding beyond the schema.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the verb 'pull' and resource 'fired events from your subscription feed'. It distinguishes the tool as a read operation for recent alerts, but does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'list_subscriptions' or 'recall'.

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 usage context: filter by type and/or since, mark_read behavior for polling, and mentions an alternative access method via GET registry.pipeworx.io/alerts.json. It does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or compare to siblings.

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

A4/5.0
Disambiguation3/5

The three ask_pipeworx variants are a genuine confusion risk — ask_pipeworx_beta is currently described as identical to ask_pipeworx, and ask_pipeworx_grounded differs only in extraction strictness. search_descriptors and resolve_term also overlap heavily (both map a term to MeSH descriptor IDs). The six Polymarket tools are differentiated by rich descriptions but still form a dense cluster where misselection is plausible.

Naming Consistency4/5

Most tools follow a clean verb_qualifier pattern (ask_, bet_, compare_, resolve_, search_, validate_) with the brand as a namespace (ask_pipeworx, pipeworx_trending, polymarket_*). Minor deviations exist: pipeworx_feedback and pipeworx_trending lead with a noun, the memory trio (remember, recall, forget) are bare verbs, and the ask_pipeworx family uses a brand name rather than a resource noun — but the overall pattern stays predictable and readable.

Tool Count2/5

At 34 tools this exceeds the threshold where a set feels heavy, and the bloat is visible: three near-identical ask_pipeworx routers and a six-tool Polymarket suite dominate. Several tools (generate_llms_txt, scan_dependency, bet_research) feel like accreted one-offs rather than part of a coherent surface. The broad platform purpose justifies some breadth, but the count is inflated by redundant variants.

Completeness4/5

The core purpose — universal access to authoritative structured data — is well covered via the router, grounded mode, deep_research, entity/profile/compare/validate wrappers, and discovery tools. The subscription lifecycle (subscribe/unsubscribe/list/alerts) and memory (remember/recall/forget) have no dead ends. Minor gaps exist: non-polymarket prediction-market workflows lack the depth of the Polymarket cluster, and the single-purpose niche tools fit awkwardly, but agents won't hit dead ends.
