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.

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

The description discloses behavioral traits beyond annotations: returns subscription ID, requires OAuth for persistence, delivery channel limits (SMS 10/day, webhook auto-disable after 10 failures), and that the feed is always on. Annotations show idempotentHint=true, but the description does not mention idempotency, which is a minor gap.

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-organized, starting with the main purpose and then detailing types and delivery options. Each sentence provides necessary information. However, it is somewhat dense and could benefit from clearer structuring or bullet points for readability.

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 params, nested objects, no output schema), the description covers all essential aspects: types, parameters, delivery constraints, prerequisites, and the return value (subscription ID). It also includes edge cases like webhook auto-disable and SMS cap, making it sufficient for an agent to use correctly.

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 description coverage is 100%, but the description adds significant value by explaining the semantics of each type and its params with concrete examples (e.g., sec_8k items codes, polymarket_edge topics). It also elaborates on delivery channels beyond the schema, such as webhook HMAC signing.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

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. It specifies the resource and action, and lists supported types. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like list_subscriptions or unsubscribe, though it mentions pulling via recent_alerts as an alternative.

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 prerequisites (requires OAuth account, not anonymous/BYO), supported types with parameter examples, and delivery channel options with constraints (SMS cap, webhook auto-disable). It lacks explicit when-not-to-use guidance or direct references to alternative tools for listing or unsubscribing.

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

Many tools have overlapping purposes, especially in the prediction market domain (e.g., bet_research, polymarket_edges, polymarket_arbitrage, polymarket_fill_risk) and data querying (ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research). This overlap creates confusion for an agent selecting the right tool.

Naming Consistency2/5

Naming is inconsistent: most tools use snake_case but some start with a verb (ask_, bet_, compare_) while others start with a noun (entity_profile, pipeworx_feedback, polymarket_*). There is no uniform pattern, making it harder to predict tool names.

Tool Count2/5

With 32 tools, the server is overstuffed for a single focus. It bundles checksums, AI visibility, data queries, prediction market analysis, subscriptions, memory, and more, which would be better split into separate, more focused servers.

Completeness2/5

Despite the large tool count, the server lacks completeness in key areas: no tool to place prediction market trades, no direct SEC filing detail extraction (only through generic queries), and only two checksum tools despite the server name 'Crc'. The surface feels scattershot rather than comprehensive.
