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 declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint. The description adds value by listing return fields and implying it returns only active ones by default. No contradictions.
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?
Two sentences, front-loaded with output fields, and a concise usage note. Every word earns its place.
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?
For a simple list tool with one optional parameter and comprehensive annotations, the description covers return fields and usage scenarios completely. No output schema needed.
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 a clear description for 'include_inactive'. The tool description does not add significant parameter information beyond the schema.
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 action ('List the caller's active subscriptions') and specifies the returned fields. It distinguishes 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 use cases: review monitoring before adding more or find an id to cancel. It could mention 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.

ask_pipeworx and ask_pipeworx_beta are explicitly described as functionally identical right now, creating direct ambiguity. The six polymarket tools (edges, arbitrage, edge_tracker, fill_risk, kalshi_spread, bet_research) have blurred boundaries for prediction-market tasks, and ai_visibility_check vs scan_competitor_ai_presence is a wrapper relationship. Only the memory trio and subscription lifecycle are cleanly distinct.
Naming follows multiple conventions with no global pattern: bare verbs (remember, recall, forget, subscribe), product-prefixed verbs (ask_pipeworx, pipeworx_feedback), noun phrases (entity_profile, deep_research, recent_changes), and verb_noun snake_case (discover_tools, validate_claim). There are consistent pockets (the polymarket_* family, the TheGamesDB get_/list_/search_ verbs), but the overall mix across 35 tools is inconsistent.
35 tools exceeds the 25-tool threshold for a heavy server, and the count is wildly disproportionate to the server's stated identity: only 4 of 35 tools relate to TheGamesDB while 31 belong to an unrelated Pipeworx data/prediction-market suite. The game database would justify roughly 5-10 tools, so the bulk of this surface is out of scope for the server name.
The Pipeworx portion is genuinely thorough — discovery, grounded querying, entity resolution, claim validation, subscription lifecycle, memory, and feedback form a coherent coverage. However, the namesake TheGamesDB surface is thin: search, get-by-id, list genres, and list platforms, with no games-by-platform/genre browsing, no media/screenshots beyond front boxart, and no updates feed. The set as a whole covers multiple unrelated domains with no single complete lifecycle.
