Polymarket Arbitrage

polymarket_arbitrage
Read-onlyIdempotent

Find arbitrage opportunities on Polymarket via monotonicity violations + partition-sum checks. Call with NO args for a trending_scan of the top ~200 markets by weekly volume; pass event for the strongest per-event partition_check, or topic for a themed cross-event scan. event (recommended for a specific market): pass a Polymarket event slug like "fed-decision-may-2026" or "when-will-bitcoin-hit-150k"; walks child markets, checks date-axis / threshold-axis ordering AND computes the partition_check (sum of YES prices across mutually-exclusive legs — should ≈1; deviations >3pp emit a BUY/SELL EVERY LEG signal). topic (for cross-event scanning): pass a seed question like "Strait of Hormuz traffic returns to normal" or "Fed rate decision"; searches related events across the platform, flattens markets, runs the comparator on the union. Cross-event mode catches "...by May 31" vs "...by Jun 30" patterns that single-event misses. SEMANTIC ANCHOR: cross-event pairs require ≥0.30 Jaccard similarity on question tokens (prevents Powell-Fed-Pause being paired with Powell-DOJ-probe); skipped_low_similarity surfaces the rejected pair count. PARTITION FILTER: drops will-person-X / will-manager-Y / will-someone-else- placeholder slugs; partitions with >20% placeholder fraction return null arb signal. Response: opportunities[] (gap_pp, suggested_trade, reasoning, monotonicity violation context), and in event mode partition_check{sum_yes_prices, gap_from_1, placeholders_filtered, suggested_trade}. FILL CHECK: when the partition signal fires, arbitrage.fill_check prices it against live CLOB depth (theoretical_edge_pp_at_book vs realizable_edge_pp at 1000 shares/leg, thin_legs[]) — realizable_edge_pp ≤ 0 means the overround exists only at last-trade, not in the book; do not trade it. For custom sizing use polymarket_fill_risk.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
eventNoSingle-event mode (use this if you know the specific Polymarket event): event slug like "fed-decision-may-2026" or "when-will-bitcoin-hit-150k". Full Polymarket URLs also accepted.
topicNoCross-event mode (use this if you want to scan related events across the platform): a topic or seed question like "Fed rate decision" or "Strait of Hormuz traffic returns to normal". Tool searches Polymarket for related events and checks monotonicity across them.

A5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations declare readOnlyHint etc., but the description adds rich behavior: the Jaccard similarity threshold (≥0.30), placeholder slug filtering, the fill check against live CLOB depth with realizable_edge_pp ≤ 0 warning, and the 'do not trade it' advice. This goes far beyond annotations and never contradicts them.

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?

Although lengthy, every sentence carries operational weight. The use of CAPS labels (SEMANTIC ANCHOR, PARTITION FILTER, FILL CHECK) structures dense technical content cleanly. No filler or repetition; it is appropriately sized for the tool's complexity.

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 compensates by specifying the response shape: opportunities[] fields, partition_check fields, skipped_low_similarity, thin_legs[]. It also covers edge cases (placeholder >20% returns null, fill-check conditions). This is complete for a complex tool.

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

Parameters5/5

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

Schema covers 100% of params with descriptions, but the description adds substantial value: example slugs, URL acceptance, mode semantics (event walks child markets, topic searches related events), and the seed question examples. It turns the schema's bare definitions into actionable usage guidance.

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 a specific verb+resource+method: 'Find arbitrage opportunities on Polymarket via monotonicity violations + partition-sum checks.' It clearly distinguishes from siblings by mentioning polymarket_fill_risk for custom sizing and describing unique modes (trending_scan, event, topic) not seen in other tool names.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicit guidance is given: 'Call with NO args for a trending_scan... pass event for... or topic for...' It recommends event mode for specific markets, explains cross-event mode catches patterns single-event misses, and ends with 'For custom sizing use polymarket_fill_risk' — a clear alternative. This is textbook when-to-use vs alternatives.

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

A3.5/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Tools are a mix of art-related and Pipeworx data tools, with no clear boundary. Many Pipeworx tools overlap in functionality (e.g., ask_pipeworx, deep_research, bet_research), causing confusion. Art tools are distinct but sparse.

Naming Consistency2/5

Tool names mostly use snake_case but follow inconsistent patterns: some are verb-based (ask_pipeworx, search_artworks), others are noun-based (entity_profile, pipeworx_feedback). There is no unified convention across the server.

Tool Count1/5

33 tools is excessive for an art-focused server; only 4 tools (search_artworks, get_artwork, get_departments, generate_llms_txt) relate to art. The rest are from a different domain (Pipeworx), creating a severe scope mismatch.

Completeness2/5

For the art domain, only basic search and retrieval are provided; missing browsing, filtering, or creation tools. The Pipeworx tools are comprehensive but irrelevant to the server's stated purpose, leaving the art surface incomplete.
