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

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).

A3.8/5.0
Behavior1/5

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

The description discloses a significant side effect: 'Set mark_read:true to flag returned events read so the next call only shows newer ones.' This contradicts the annotation readOnlyHint:true, because marking events read modifies persistent state. This is a direct annotation contradiction, so the description fails to align with the safety hints.

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 four sentences, front-loaded with the core purpose, then return payload, filtering, side effect, and alternative endpoint. Every sentence provides actionable information with zero fluff, making it concise and well-structured.

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?

The description covers the return shape (source, citation_uri, raw payload), filter options, the mark_read side effect, and an alternative access point. Given there is no output schema and the tool has 5 optional parameters, this is strong. However, it doesn't mention unread_only or limit in the narrative, though those are in the schema, so it's not fully complete.

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 schema already covers all 5 parameters with descriptions (100% coverage), but the description adds value by providing an example type ('sec_8k'), clarifying the since parameter's ISO timestamp requirement, and explaining the consequence of mark_read (next call only shows newer ones). This goes slightly beyond the schema descriptions.

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 opens with 'Pull fired events from your subscription feed,' using a specific verb and resource. It clearly distinguishes from siblings like list_subscriptions (which lists subscriptions) and recent_changes (which tracks changes), making the tool's purpose unambiguous.

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 the tool is for retrieving alerts and even notes that polling is acceptable. It provides an alternative HTTP endpoint for scripts/dashboards, giving context for when to use the tool vs. external access. However, it doesn't explicitly name sibling tools as alternatives, so it's not a perfect 5.

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
Disambiguation3/5

Many tools have overlapping purposes, e.g., multiple ask_pipeworx variants, deep_research, and bet_research all serve data retrieval with subtle differences. The descriptions help distinguish them, but the sheer number of similar tools creates ambiguity.

Naming Consistency4/5

Tool names are mostly snake_case with a verb_noun pattern (e.g., resolve_entity, validate_claim). A few are nouns like 'readability' or 'text_stats', but the overall style is consistent and readable.

Tool Count2/5

With 33 tools, the server is overstuffed. The server name 'Textstats' suggests a narrow focus, but it covers diverse domains (Polymarket, SEC, memory, subscriptions), making it feel bloated and unfocused.

Completeness3/5

The tool set covers a wide range of data sources and actions, but there are notable gaps for a 'text stats' server—only two tools directly handle text analysis. Additionally, obvious operations like a simple stock quote tool are missing, relying on ask_pipeworx instead.
