Polymarket Edge Tracker

polymarket_edge_tracker
Read-onlyIdempotent

Edge persistence and decay telemetry built from daily polymarket_edges snapshots. Answers "how long has this edge existed and is it shrinking?" — a fresh wide edge and a 3-week-old wide edge are different trades (the latter is wide for a reason nobody is willing to take). Args: days (lookback, default 14, max 30), window (snapshot family, default "1wk"). RESPONSE: tracked[] = every opportunity in the LATEST snapshot with its full edge_pp_net time-series across prior snapshots, first_seen, trend (new | widening | stable | decaying) and decay_pp_per_day (both computed on |edge_pp_net| — the value itself is signed by trade direction, negative = SELL YES); expired[] = opportunities that appeared in earlier snapshots but are GONE from the latest (closed, resolved, or arbed away) with their lifespan_days — the median lifespan is your competition clock; snapshot_dates[] = which days actually have data (snapshots are written when polymarket_edges runs on a cache-miss, so gaps mean nobody scanned that day). LIMITS: history depth is bounded by the 60-day snapshot TTL and starts from when snapshotting was enabled; decay numbers come from daily closes of edge_pp_net (net of default slippage), not intraday.

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already establish read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive behavior, but the description adds substantial context: 60-day snapshot TTL, dependence on when snapshotting was enabled, that decay numbers use daily closes net of default slippage, and that gaps in snapshot_dates indicate days no scan occurred. This goes far beyond the annotation hints and helps the agent set expectations about data completeness and interpretation.

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?

Though lengthy, the description is well-organized into purpose, args, RESPONSE structure, and LIMITS. Each sentence carries meaningful information, and the purpose is front-loaded. The structured breakdown of output fields (tracked, expired, snapshot_dates) makes it easy for an agent to know what to expect.

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?

With no output schema, the description clearly enumerates the response fields: tracked[] with trend/decay metrics, expired[] with lifespan, and snapshot_dates[]. It also covers operational limits (TTL, snapshot start) and the meaning of gaps. This is complete for an agent to invoke and interpret results correctly, especially given the tool's moderate complexity.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The input schema already covers 100% of parameters with descriptions, including defaults and clamps. The description's 'Args: days (lookback, default 14, max 30), window (snapshot family, default "1wk")' essentially repeats this information without adding new semantic nuance beyond what the schema provides. Thus, the baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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 clearly identifies the tool as 'edge persistence and decay telemetry' built from 'daily polymarket_edges snapshots', and explicitly states the question it answers: 'how long has this edge existed and is it shrinking?'. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like polymarket_edges (which likely surfaces current edges) by focusing on historical persistence and decay analysis.

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 implies when to use the tool by contrasting a 'fresh wide edge' with a '3-week-old wide edge' and noting the latter is 'wide for a reason nobody is willing to take'. It does not explicitly name alternatives or exclusions, but the context is clear enough for an agent to decide this is for historical edge trend analysis rather than live edge discovery.

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

A3.6/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Several tools have unclear boundaries: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta (currently functionally identical), ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research, discover_tools, and suggest_questions all route to the same underlying catalog with only subtle differences. The Polymarket cluster (bet_research, polymarket_arbitrage, polymarket_edges, polymarket_edge_tracker, polymarket_fill_risk, polymarket_kalshi_spread) also substantially overlaps in purpose, and the two unrelated domains (GIS vs. data/betting) make it worse.

Naming Consistency3/5

Names are readable and form some predictable clusters (polymarket_* prefix, ask_pipeworx_* suffixes, subscribe/unsubscribe/list_subscriptions), but conventions are mixed: bare verbs (remember, forget, recall), noun_noun (layer_info, entity_profile, pipeworx_feedback), verb_noun (query_layer, search_datasets), and adjective_noun (deep_research, recent_alerts). No single pattern dominates, though nothing is chaotic.

Tool Count2/5

34 tools is well above the 25+ threshold for a heavy surface, and the count is not justified by the server's stated identity: only 3 of 34 tools (search_datasets, layer_info, query_layer) relate to ArcGIS Glasgow. The remaining 31 tools belong to several unrelated domains (Pipeworx data querying, Polymarket betting, AI visibility, memory, npm scanning), making the effective scope far too broad.

Completeness2/5

For the server's named ArcGIS Glasgow domain, the surface is thin: search, schema inspection, and query are present, but there is no way to list all datasets, no spatial querying, and no write/update capability. Meanwhile the 31 non-GIS tools create a sprawling second server's worth of functionality, so the set as a whole has no coherent domain whose coverage can be judged complete.
