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 indicate safe, read-only, idempotent behavior. The description adds significant detail: response structure (tracked, expired, snapshot_dates), data sources (daily closes, net of slippage), and constraints (TTL, snapshot gaps). 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.

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is moderately long but well-structured: core purpose first, then args, response spec, and limits. Every sentence adds value. Slightly verbose but not wasteful.

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?

Without an output schema, the description thoroughly explains the response format and edge cases (expired opportunities, snapshot gaps). It covers the tool's complexity fully.

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?

Input schema covers 100% of parameters with descriptions. The description adds context: 'lookback' for days, 'snapshot family' for window, and clarifies default/max values. This enriches understanding beyond the schema alone.

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 provides 'edge persistence and decay telemetry' and answers the specific question of edge duration and trend. It distinguishes from sibling tools like polymarket_edges (current edges) and polymarket_arbitrage.

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 context on when to use the tool (e.g., differentiating fresh vs old edges) and notes limitations (60-day TTL, daily closes). However, it does not explicitly advise against use in certain scenarios or compare to alternatives among siblings.

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

C2.9/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Many tools have overlapping purposes: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research, discover_tools, and suggest_questions all serve query/research; polymarket_edges, polymarket_arbitrage, bet_research, and polymarket_edge_tracker all analyze prediction markets; entity_profile, compare_entities, and recent_changes overlap on company research. An agent could easily select the wrong one.

Naming Consistency3/5

All names are lowercase snake_case, but the verb-noun convention is inconsistent: some are verb-first (ask_pipeworx, generate_llms_txt, validate_claim), some noun-first (entity_profile, polymarket_edges, recent_changes), and some are bare nouns (query, metadata, datasets). The pattern is readable but not uniform.

Tool Count2/5

34 tools is excessive for the apparent scope, especially given the server name suggests a Chicago city-data focus while the vast majority of tools are generic data-research, prediction-market, and memory utilities. This feels like a kitchen-sink bundle rather than a focused, well-scoped toolset.

Completeness2/5

The tool surface is a disjointed collection covering querying, research, memory, subscriptions, and prediction markets, but it lacks coherent lifecycle coverage for any single domain. For the named 'Cityofchicago' purpose, there is almost no city-specific functionality, and even as a general data tool, obvious gaps remain (e.g., no direct dataset management or update/delete operations).
