tickerbot_subscribe_ticker

Register a webhook that fires when one ticker matches a condition. condition is a SQL WHERE-clause fragment scoped to that ticker (e.g. "rsi_14 > 70 AND relative_volume > 2"). Pass target_url for an https POST, or channel:"discord" + discord_url to post to Discord; omit for in-app.

conditionYesSQL WHERE fragment evaluated for this ticker.
device_idNoRegistered device id from the mobile app. Required when channel is "mobile_push".

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the transparency burden. It discloses the trigger behavior (fires on condition match), delivery methods (POST/Discord/in-app), and gives a realistic condition example. It doesn't cover edge cases like validation or idempotency, but the core behavior is well described.

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?

Two sentences, front-loaded with purpose, followed by practical usage details and an example. Every sentence earns its place without redundancy.

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?

Despite 8 parameters and no output schema, the description provides enough context to select and invoke the tool correctly. It highlights the most complex parameter (condition) and the channel configuration interplay. Return values are not specified but can be inferred for a subscription creation tool.

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 covers all 8 parameters with descriptions, so baseline is 3. The description adds value by explaining relationships between channel, target_url, discord_url, and provides an example of the `condition` parameter, going beyond the 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?

Clearly states it registers a webhook for one ticker that fires when a condition matches, with a concrete SQL clause example. This distinguishes it from broader sibling tools like subscribe_scan or subscribe_events.

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 explicit guidance for delivery channels (target_url for HTTPS POST, discord_url for Discord, omit for in-app) and clarifies the condition format. It doesn't explicitly name alternative tools or exclusions, but the single-ticker scope is clear.

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

A3.9/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools target distinct resource-action pairs, but get_ticker and get_ticker_history overlap (both return a single historical row via asof), and the four subscribe_* tools are thin wrappers around create_webhook, creating some ambiguity. Detailed descriptions mitigate but don't eliminate confusion.

Naming Consistency4/5

The tickerbot_ prefix and verb_noun pattern are consistent (create_*, get_*, list_*, delete_*, update_*), but subscribe_* deviates from create_* for webhooks, and scan/search_news are bare verbs. Overall predictable.

Tool Count2/5

35 tools is excessive for the domain; many could be consolidated (e.g., four subscribe_* variants into a single parameterized webhook creator, get_ticker/get_ticker_history into one). The breadth of data types justifies some volume, but this exceeds the 25-tool threshold for coherence.

Completeness5/5

Full lifecycle coverage for universes, custom signals, and webhooks; extensive read-side for tickers, series, bars, events, news, and scans. No critical dead ends: anything creatable can be updated/deleted/tested, and data lookups have appropriate query tools.
