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

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.

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

The description supplements annotations with substantial behavioral context: OAuth requirement, phone verification, 10/day SMS cap, webhook auto-disable after 10 failures, and the one-time return of the webhook signing secret. It also states the return value (subscription id), all consistent with the annotations.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

The description is a long, information-dense paragraph that could be better structured with bullet points or sections. While it is front-loaded with the core purpose, the volume of details may overwhelm, though every sentence provides value.

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?

For a mutation tool with no output schema, the description covers return value, prerequisites, all supported types, delivery channels, and failure behaviors. It is sufficiently complete for an agent to invoke the tool correctly and understand the results.

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?

The description adds meaningful examples for each subscription type and clarifies nuances like items code meanings, topic constraints, and the 10/day SMS cap. This goes beyond the schema's already comprehensive parameter descriptions, which cover 100% of parameters.

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 states 'Create a proactive monitoring subscription to a live-data event stream' with a specific verb and resource. It also differentiates from sibling tools like list_subscriptions and unsubscribe by focusing on the creation action.

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 context by specifying the need for an OAuth account, excluding anonymous and BYO users, and explaining delivery channel options including pulling via recent_alerts. However, it does not explicitly contrast with sibling tools for listing or unsubscribing subscriptions.

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

A3.8/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Several tools have overlapping purposes: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, ask_pipeworx_grounded, and deep_research all serve as entry points for data questions, and ask_pipeworx_beta currently behaves identically to ask_pipeworx. Entity-focused tools (entity_profile, compare_entities, recent_changes, ai_visibility_check, scan_competitor_ai_presence) also blur together even with lengthy descriptions.

Naming Consistency4/5

All tools use lowercase snake_case, which is consistent and readable. There is some variation between verb-first names (discover_tools, resolve_entity) and noun-first names (entity_profile, polymarket_arbitrage), plus the ask_pipeworx variant family, but the pattern is predictable overall.

Tool Count2/5

35 tools is heavy, and the scope sprawls far beyond the 'Rba' server name: only 4 tools relate to the Reserve Bank of Australia, while the rest cover a universal data router, prediction markets, memory, subscriptions, AI visibility, npm scanning, and more. Several meta-tools (ask_pipeworx, deep_research, discover_tools, suggest_questions) duplicate the discovery/routing role, making the count feel inflated.

Completeness3/5

For the RBA-specific subdomain, coverage is solid: directory lookup, series fetching, cash rate, and exchange rates. For the broader data-research domain most tools imply, coverage is quite comprehensive (routing, grounded answers, entity resolution, fact-checking, monitoring, memory), but the server's stated identity is unclear, and the beta duplicate tool adds noise rather than filling a real gap.
