Odds Api

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).

TDQS

B3.3/5.0
Behavior1/5

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

Annotation declares readOnlyHint=true, but description says mark_read:true flags events as read, which modifies state. This contradiction misleads about the tool's side effects.

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 efficiently convey purpose, usage, and key parameters. Front-loaded with main function, no wasted words.

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?

Explains return fields, filter options, and side effect of mark_read. Mentions alternative endpoint. No output schema, but description compensates well.

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 covers all parameters with descriptions. The description adds context on return fields and mark_read behavior, enhancing understanding beyond 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?

Clearly states it pulls fired events from subscription feed and returns recent alerts with specific fields. Does not explicitly distinguish from siblings like get_events, but the focus on subscription feed is implied.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explains when to use (for recent alerts), provides filter options, and mentions alternative endpoint. However, lacks explicit guidance on when not to use or comparison to alternatives.

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

A3.5/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Several tool clusters have unclear boundaries: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, ask_pipeworx_grounded, and deep_research all route to the same 5,724 tools with only subtle behavioral differences, and bet_research, polymarket_edges, polymarket_arbitrage, and polymarket_kalshi_spread heavily overlap around prediction-market opportunity discovery. entity_profile, compare_entities, and recent_changes also fan out across the same SEC/news/patent sources, making selection ambiguous for agents.

Naming Consistency2/5

Naming mixes multiple conventions: snake_case verb_noun for odds tools (get_events, list_sports), vendor-prefixed clusters (ask_pipeworx_*, pipeworx_*, polymarket_*), and a few reversed noun-verb names like bet_research. CamelCase is used in ai_visibility_check and generate_llms_txt adds another style. Only the polymarket_* and pipeworx_* families are internally consistent, but the overall pattern is chaotic.

Tool Count2/5

37 tools is well beyond the typical well-scoped server, and the count feels inflated by unrelated meta-tools (suggest_questions, discover_tools, pipeworx_feedback, pipeworx_trending, generate_llms_txt, scan_dependency, remember/recall/forget) that have nothing to do with the server's stated 'Odds Api' purpose. The actual odds surface is only ~5 tools, so the vast majority of the catalog is off-scope padding.

Completeness3/5

The core odds domain is well covered: list_sports, get_events, get_odds, get_event_odds, and get_scores form a coherent lifecycle, plus quota introspection. However, for the server's actual broad-research scope there are noticeable gaps (e.g., no direct single-filing fetch tool despite heavy SEC coverage, a lone npm-dependency tool with no surrounding ecosystem, and no historical/past-odds endpoint), and the heterogeneous domains make completeness uneven.
