list_subscriptionsList the caller's active subscriptions. Returns id, type, params, created_at, last_fired_at, fire_count for each. Use this to review what you're monitoring before adding more or to find an id to cancel.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| include_inactive | No | Include cancelled subscriptions in the response (default false). |

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already provide readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint. The description adds value by listing specific return fields, consistent with annotations. No contradiction.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise: two sentences with no unnecessary words. First sentence states purpose and output, second gives usage guidance. Highly efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity, annotations cover safety, and the description covers purpose, return fields, and usage. No output schema needed. Slightly lacking in potential details like pagination but complete for a list tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with one boolean parameter. The description doesn't add further meaning beyond the schema, so baseline score of 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool lists the caller's active subscriptions and specifies the returned fields (id, type, params, etc.), effectively distinguishing it from sibling tools like subscribe and unsubscribe.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides explicit guidance: 'Use this to review what you're monitoring before adding more or to find an id to cancel.' It doesn't state when not to use, but the context is clear enough.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Add one secure layer between your agents and this server.
Most tools have distinct purposes, especially within the Polymarket and data query groups. However, the three ask_pipeworx variants (ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, ask_pipeworx_grounded) and the overlap between deep_research and ask_pipeworx for broader questions could cause minor confusion.
Tool names follow some consistent prefixes (ask_pipeworx, polymarket_, scan_, recent_) but overall mix verb_noun, noun phrases, and standalone verbs (forget, recall, remember). This inconsistency reduces predictability, though the patterns are still readable.
32 tools is high but justifiable given the server's dual role as a Pipeworx data gateway and Polymarket analysis suite. Each tool serves a distinct function in the workflow, but the count borders on heavy and could be streamlined.
The tool set covers the full lifecycle for the server's domain: discovery, querying, grounded answers, entity resolution, company profiles, fact-checking, prediction market analysis, memory, and monitoring. Minor gaps exist (no account management or direct data modification), but these are out of scope for a read-only data interface.
