Subscribe to Alerts

subscribe
Idempotent

Create a proactive monitoring subscription to a live-data event stream. Returns the new subscription id. Requires a Pipeworx OAuth account (anonymous + BYO cannot persist subscriptions). Supported types: "sec_8k" (8-K filings matching ticker + item codes — e.g. items:["5.02"] = officer change), "polymarket_edge" (Polymarket↔Kalshi cross-venue mispricings — params:{topic:"fed"}), "fred_series" (new FRED observations — params:{series_id:"UNRATE"}). Delivery channels: feed (always on — pull via recent_alerts or GET registry.pipeworx.io/alerts.json), and optionally email (set delivery:{email:"you@x.com"}) or sms (delivery:{sms:"+15551234567"} — phone must be verified at /account first; 10/day cap).

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
typeYesSubscription type.
paramsYesType-specific filter. sec_8k: {ticker:"AAPL", items?:["5.02","1.01"]}. polymarket_edge: {topic:"fed", min_spread_bps?:500}. fred_series: {series_id:"UNRATE"}. patent_grant: {applicant:"Apple Inc."}. clinical_trial: {sponsor?:"Pfizer", condition?:"lung cancer", phase?:"PHASE3"} (sponsor or condition required).
deliveryNoOptional delivery channels in addition to the always-on persistent feed. {email:"you@x.com"} sends a templated alert per fired event. {sms:"+15551234567"} sends an SMS per event — must match the verified phone on the caller's account (verify at https://pipeworx.io/account first; 10/day cap). {webhook:"https://..."} POSTs each event JSON to your endpoint, HMAC-signed — the response includes delivery.webhook_secret (whsec_…) ONCE; verify X-Pipeworx-Signature = sha256 HMAC of "<X-Pipeworx-Timestamp>.<raw body>". Auto-disabled after 10 consecutive failing runs.

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations provide readOnlyHint=false, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false. The description goes far beyond these: it notes the OAuth requirement, non-persistence for anonymous/BYO, delivery channel options (feed, email, SMS, webhook), SMS verification and 10/day cap, webhook signing secret one-time exposure, and auto-disable after 10 consecutive failures. This is detailed behavioral disclosure and does not contradict the annotations.

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 front-loaded with the core purpose in the first sentence, then organized by auth, types, and delivery. While lengthy, each sentence adds needed information for a complex tool; no filler is present.

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?

No output schema is provided, but the description states the primary return (subscription id) and the one-time webhook secret. It also covers auth, all supported types, param formats, delivery channels, limits, and how to retrieve alerts. This is highly complete for a create-operation 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 coverage is 100% with detailed per-parameter descriptions. The description adds concrete examples for each subscription type (e.g., sec_8k items:['5.02'], polymarket_edge topic:'fed', fred_series series_id:'UNRATE') and clarifies constraint semantics like phone verification and caps. This enhances the schema without redundancy.

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 'Create a proactive monitoring subscription to a live-data event stream. Returns the new subscription id.' This states a specific verb (create) and resource (subscription), and distinguishes it from sibling tools like list_subscriptions and unsubscribe. It also enumerates supported subscription types, making the tool's scope unmistakable.

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 that subscriptions are for proactive monitoring and requires an OAuth account, which helps users decide when to use it. It also mentions how to consume alerts via recent_alerts or the registry URL. However, it doesn't explicitly compare with alternative tools like list_subscriptions or unsubscribe, though those are implied by sibling names. Clear context but no explicit when-not-to-use.

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
Disambiguation3/5

Many tools have distinct purposes, but there is overlap among data query tools (ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research) and numerous Polymarket bet tools, which could cause confusion. Tool descriptions are detailed and help differentiate, but the diversity of domains requires careful reading.

Naming Consistency2/5

Tool names follow inconsistent patterns: some are snake_case verb_noun (query_layer, search_datasets), others are noun_verb (bet_research) or compound names (pipeworx_feedback, polymarket_arbitrage). There is no uniform convention, making it harder for agents to predict tool names.

Tool Count2/5

With 33 tools, the server feels overloaded for its apparent ArcGIS focus. Most tools are unrelated to ArcGIS (Polymarket, Pipeworx data, memory, subscriptions), suggesting a lack of scope. The count is high without a clear unifying purpose.

Completeness2/5

The tool surface is incomplete for any single domain. ArcGIS coverage is minimal (only query and schema), Pipeworx data tools are abundant but without a clear workflow, and Polymarket betting lacks order placement. The server tries to cover too many areas resulting in shallow coverage.
