Polymarket Edge Tracker

polymarket_edge_tracker
Read-onlyIdempotent

Edge persistence and decay telemetry built from daily polymarket_edges snapshots. Answers "how long has this edge existed and is it shrinking?" — a fresh wide edge and a 3-week-old wide edge are different trades (the latter is wide for a reason nobody is willing to take). Args: days (lookback, default 14, max 30), window (snapshot family, default "1wk"). RESPONSE: tracked[] = every opportunity in the LATEST snapshot with its full edge_pp_net time-series across prior snapshots, first_seen, trend (new | widening | stable | decaying) and decay_pp_per_day (both computed on |edge_pp_net| — the value itself is signed by trade direction, negative = SELL YES); expired[] = opportunities that appeared in earlier snapshots but are GONE from the latest (closed, resolved, or arbed away) with their lifespan_days — the median lifespan is your competition clock; snapshot_dates[] = which days actually have data (snapshots are written when polymarket_edges runs on a cache-miss, so gaps mean nobody scanned that day). LIMITS: history depth is bounded by the 60-day snapshot TTL and starts from when snapshotting was enabled; decay numbers come from daily closes of edge_pp_net (net of default slippage), not intraday.

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

With annotations already declaring this as read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive, the description adds valuable behavioral details: the 60-day TTL limit, snapshot gaps due to cache-miss behavior, and that decay is computed from daily closes (not intraday). These disclosures go well beyond the annotations and help the agent set expectations.

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?

The description is dense but efficiently structured: a clear opening purpose statement, followed by Args, RESPONSE, and LIMITS sections. Every sentence provides distinct information—no fluff or repetition. It is front-loaded with the core question it answers, making it easy to digest.

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?

With no output schema, the description fully explains the return structure (tracked[], expired[], snapshot_dates[]) and their semantics. It also covers data availability, TTL limits, and computation methodology. For a tool with two optional parameters and no output schema, this is a complete and self-contained description.

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% for both parameters, so the baseline is 3. The description restates defaults ('days (lookback, default 14, max 30)') and adds context for 'window' as a 'snapshot family', but it does not materially extend what the schema already documents. It meets the baseline without adding significant new 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?

The description clearly states the tool's function: 'Edge persistence and decay telemetry built from daily polymarket_edges snapshots.' It asks a specific question it answers ('how long has this edge existed and is it shrinking?') and distinguishes itself from sibling tools like polymarket_edges by focusing on time-series persistence rather than current edge values.

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 explains when to use the tool: when you need to understand edge persistence and decay, or to differentiate fresh vs. old edges. It provides clear context about its data source and limitations, but it does not explicitly name alternative tools or state when not to use it, leaving some room for inference.

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

Multiple tools are near-duplicates: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, and ask_pipeworx_grounded share nearly identical routing, with beta explicitly described as currently identical to stable. The six Polymarket-related tools also form a dense cluster with subtle boundaries, and discover_tools/suggest_questions overlap in onboarding purpose.

Naming Consistency4/5

Most tools follow a clear snake_case verb_noun pattern (check_password, resolve_entity, compare_entities, list_subscriptions), and family prefixes like ask_pipeworx_* and polymarket_* are applied consistently. Minor deviations exist (ai_visibility_check, pipeworx_trending), but the overall convention is predictable.

Tool Count2/5

32 tools is well past the 25+ threshold and the set feels bloated: several ask_pipeworx variants and Polymarket scanning tools could be consolidated, and unrelated utilities (check_password, scan_dependency, generate_llms_txt) are mixed into what is otherwise a data-research platform. The broad scope does not justify this many top-level entry points.

Completeness4/5

The main data-research workflow is well covered: routing, grounded verification, deep research, entity resolution/profiles, comparisons, recent changes, discovery, and feedback are all present. Memory and subscription lifecycles are also complete; minor gaps remain such as the lone password tool lacking generation or breach-checking companions, and no direct raw-fetch tool, but these are workable.
