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.

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

The description adds substantial behavioral details beyond annotations: it requires authentication, returns an id, lists delivery constraints (SMS 10/day cap, phone verification, webhook auto-disable after failures), and explains the always-on feed. No contradictions with annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is well-structured with a clear front-loaded purpose, followed by prerequisites, types, and delivery channels. While comprehensive, some sections (e.g., webhook signing details) could be slightly more concise without losing value.

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?

Given the tool's complexity (3 parameters, nested objects, 5 enum types, optional delivery with 3 channels and constraints), the description fully covers prerequisites, type-specific filters, delivery channels and their limitations, and retrieval methods. It provides all necessary context for correct invocation.

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?

Despite 100% schema coverage, the description enriches each parameter with concrete examples and detailed explanations (e.g., sec_8k items, polymarket_edge topic, delivery options with constraints). It adds meaning beyond the schema's generic descriptions.

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 states the tool creates a proactive monitoring subscription to a live-data event stream and returns a subscription ID. It distinguishes the tool from siblings like list_subscriptions, unsubscribe, and recent_alerts by focusing on creation and setup.

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 provides clear context, including prerequisites (requires Pipeworx OAuth account), and mentions alternative delivery retrieval via recent_alerts or a public URL. However, it stops short of explicitly stating when not to use this tool (e.g., for listing or unsubscribing), though these are implicitly covered by sibling names.

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

TDQS

B3.3/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Many tools have overlapping purposes, especially the Pipeworx utilities (ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research, etc.). The comic tools are distinct but the large number of similar generally-purpose tools creates confusion across the set.

Naming Consistency3/5

Comic tools follow a consistent noun pattern (character, characters, issue, issues) but Pipeworx tools mix verb_phrase (ask_pipeworx), noun_phrase (entity_profile), and composite names (scan_competitor_ai_presence). No single convention dominates.

Tool Count1/5

The server name 'Comicvine' suggests a focused comic book reference, yet 30 of 40 tools are unrelated Pipeworx services (company financials, prediction markets, subscriptions, etc.). This is a severe scope mismatch.

Completeness2/5

The comic-related tools cover characters, issues, volumes, publishers, and creators reasonably well, but the server's overall purpose is diluted by including many non-comic tools that don't form a coherent surface. The comic subset is complete, but the full set is not.
