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.

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

The description adds significant behavioral context beyond annotations: authentication requirements, delivery channels with caps/verification, webhook auto-disable after failures. No contradictions 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.

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is a single dense paragraph with clear front-loading of purpose. Every sentence adds useful information, though length could be slightly reduced.

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?

Given the tool's complexity (multiple types, delivery channels, no output schema), the description covers prerequisites, type-specific parameters, delivery details, and error handling comprehensively.

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 elaborates each parameter with examples and usage details (e.g., sec_8k items meaning, webhook HMAC signing). It adds substantial value.

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 from siblings like list_subscriptions and unsubscribe 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 provides prerequisites (OAuth account), lists supported types with examples, and mentions delivery options. It lacks explicit when-not-to-use or direct alternatives, but context is clear.

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 ask_pipeworx / ask_pipeworx_beta / ask_pipeworx_grounded trio is genuinely confusing — beta is explicitly identical to stable, and grounded differs only in output format, so agents will struggle to pick the right one. The six Polymarket tools (arbitrage, edges, edge_tracker, fill_risk, kalshi_spread, bet_research) also blur together despite distinct purposes, and ai_visibility_check vs scan_competitor_ai_presence overlap heavily.

Naming Consistency4/5

Naming is largely consistent: snake_case throughout, with a strong verb-first pattern (list_subscriptions, resolve_entity, validate_claim, compare_entities, discover_tools) and clear domain prefixes for clusters (neso_, pipeworx_, polymarket_). The only inconsistency is the ask_pipeworx family, which differentiates by bare suffix (_beta, _grounded) rather than a descriptive verb.

Tool Count3/5

35 tools is on the heavy side, but the server is a broad multi-domain data platform (SEC, FDA, FRED, NESO, Polymarket, npm, memory, subscriptions, discovery) where the count is arguably justified. Several tools could be consolidated — the three ask_pipeworx variants are redundant, and scan_competitor_ai_presence largely wraps ai_visibility_check — which would tighten the surface meaningfully.

Completeness4/5

Coverage is strong across the stated domains: lookups, deep research, entity resolution, claim verification, comparisons, memory lifecycle (remember/recall/forget), subscription lifecycle (subscribe/unsubscribe/list/recent_alerts), discovery (discover_tools, suggest_questions), feedback, and trending. Minor gaps exist (no direct document-fetch tool, scan_dependency is npm-only in v1) but nothing that creates a dead end.
