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 that it is scoped to the caller's subscriptions and lists the return fields, which is useful behavioral context beyond what annotations provide. 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?
The description is two sentences, front-loaded with the verb, and every sentence serves a purpose: stating what it does, what it returns, and when to use it. No wasted words.
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 no output schema, this description is complete. It names the return fields, clarifies the default active-only behavior, and provides use cases.
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 description coverage is 100% since include_inactive has a description. The tool description adds no additional parameter semantics, so the baseline of 3 applies.
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 tool lists the caller's active subscriptions, with a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like subscribe/unsubscribe by being the read operation, and it enumerates the exact returned fields.
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 when-to-use scenarios: 'review what you're monitoring before adding more' and 'find an id to cancel.' It lacks explicit when-not-to-use or named alternatives, but the use cases are clear enough for an agent to select this tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Each tool has a distinct purpose; even similar tools like ask_pipeworx and ask_pipeworx_grounded are clearly differentiated by grounding behavior. Polymarket tools are separated by specific angles (arbitrage, edges, tracking, fill risk, cross-venue).
All tool names use consistent snake_case with descriptive verbs (ask_, compare_, discover_, generate_, list_, recall_, etc.). No mixing of camelCase or other conventions.
35 tools is on the higher end but justified by the breadth of functionality: Brazilian economics, Pipeworx data querying, company analysis, Polymarket betting, memory, subscriptions, etc. Each tool seems necessary, though a few could potentially be consolidated.
The tool set covers major CRUD operations and data retrieval across multiple domains. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no tool to edit subscriptions directly, but unsubscribe/resubscribe works). Overall, the surface is well-rounded for the stated purposes.
