Polymarket Edge Tracker

polymarket_edge_tracker
Read-onlyIdempotent

Edge persistence and decay telemetry built from daily polymarket_edges snapshots. Answers "how long has this edge existed and is it shrinking?" — a fresh wide edge and a 3-week-old wide edge are different trades (the latter is wide for a reason nobody is willing to take). Args: days (lookback, default 14, max 30), window (snapshot family, default "1wk"). RESPONSE: tracked[] = every opportunity in the LATEST snapshot with its full edge_pp_net time-series across prior snapshots, first_seen, trend (new | widening | stable | decaying) and decay_pp_per_day (both computed on |edge_pp_net| — the value itself is signed by trade direction, negative = SELL YES); expired[] = opportunities that appeared in earlier snapshots but are GONE from the latest (closed, resolved, or arbed away) with their lifespan_days — the median lifespan is your competition clock; snapshot_dates[] = which days actually have data (snapshots are written when polymarket_edges runs on a cache-miss, so gaps mean nobody scanned that day). LIMITS: history depth is bounded by the 60-day snapshot TTL and starts from when snapshotting was enabled; decay numbers come from daily closes of edge_pp_net (net of default slippage), not intraday.

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint. Description adds critical behavioral details: response structure (tracked[], expired[], snapshot_dates[]), snapshot gap causes, TTL limitation, decay computation method. Fully consistent 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?

Front-loaded with purpose and core question. Well-structured with response format and limitations. Slightly verbose but each sentence adds value; could be tightened slightly.

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?

For a tool with 2 parameters and no output schema, description fully explains all response fields (tracked with trend/decay, expired with lifespan, snapshot dates) and caveats (TTL, gaps, decay calculation). Comprehensive for its complexity.

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 covers both parameters with descriptions (100% coverage). Description adds default values, clamping (2-30 for days), and explains 'window' as snapshot family. Provides context about snapshot writing logic that enhances understanding beyond schema.

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?

Description clearly states VERB (track edge persistence/decay) and RESOURCE (polymarket_edges snapshots). It distinguishes from sibling tools like polymarket_edges (current edges) by focusing on temporal analysis. The core question 'how long has this edge existed and is it shrinking?' precisely defines purpose.

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?

Implies when to use (to assess edge freshness/decay) and contrasts fresh vs old edges. However, no explicit 'when not to use' or direct comparison to siblings. Still clear enough given context.

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

A4.1/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Several tool groups overlap heavily: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, ask_pipeworx_grounded, and deep_research all route questions to the same catalog; entity_profile, recent_changes, and compare_entities cover overlapping company-data territory; ai_visibility_check and scan_competitor_ai_presence are near-duplicates. Agents would frequently need to read long descriptions to pick the right tool.

Naming Consistency4/5

All tool names use snake_case and mostly follow verb_noun patterns (ask_pipeworx, compare_entities, resolve_entity, validate_claim). Minor inconsistencies exist: generic noun-only names like entity_profile, recent_changes, and bet_research, plus inconsistent prefixes (ask_, baltimore_, polymarket_, pipeworx_, scan_) that group by domain rather than action.

Tool Count3/5

34 tools is on the heavy side for a data-access server, though the scope is broad. Several tools feel tangential to the core data mission (remember/recall/forget, generate_llms_txt, pipeworx_feedback, pipeworx_trending), and the ask_pipeworx family plus the six polymarket_* tools inflate the count with overlapping functionality.

Completeness4/5

The surface covers the domain well: discovery (discover_tools, suggest_questions, baltimore_layers), lookup (ask_pipeworx, baltimore_query/recent), grounded verification (ask_pipeworx_grounded, validate_claim), comparison (compare_entities), profiling (entity_profile), change tracking (recent_changes), and prediction-market analysis. Minor gaps include no direct web search and no Baltimore-specific export/bulk operations, but agents can work around these.
