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).

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint false. Description adds valuable context: return fields, mark_read behavior (flagging events read), and polling suitability.

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 covering purpose, filtering, mark_read, polling, and alternative access. No fluff, efficiently front-loaded.

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 5 optional params, no output schema, and strong annotations, the description covers usage, return details, side effects, and alternative access. Fully sufficient for agent invocation.

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 coverage 100% with descriptions. Description reinforces with examples (type 'sec_8k', since ISO timestamp, mark_read effect) but does not add new semantic depth beyond schema.

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?

Clear verb+resource: 'Pull fired events from your subscription feed.' Specifies return content (source, citation_uri, payload) and distinguishes from siblings like list_subscriptions and subscribe.

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?

Provides filtering examples (type, since) and notes alternative access via GET registry.pipeworx.io/alerts.json. Lacks explicit when-not-to-use, but context is sufficient.

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

A4/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have clearly distinct purposes, especially the core ones like get_paper, search_papers, and entity_profile. However, some pairs like ask_pipeworx and ask_pipeworx_grounded, or the polymarket tools, could cause momentary confusion, though descriptions help differentiate.

Naming Consistency2/5

Naming patterns are inconsistent: tools use verb_noun (e.g., get_paper), noun_phrase (e.g., polymarket_arbitrage), and bare verbs (e.g., forget, recall). There is no unifying pattern, and styles like 'pipeworx_feedback' vs 'search_papers' further add to the inconsistency.

Tool Count3/5

With 34 tools, the set covers a broad range of domains (academic papers, company data, prediction markets, memory, subscriptions). While the scope justifies the number, it feels slightly heavy and could benefit from consolidation or clearer grouping.

Completeness4/5

The tool set covers major functionalities for research, data retrieval, and monitoring, with only minor gaps (e.g., limited to US public companies, npm-only dependency scanning). Overall, the surface is comprehensive for the stated capabilities.
