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).

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.

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations indicate write behavior (readOnlyHint=false) and description confirms creation. Description adds value beyond annotations by disclosing OAuth requirements, SMS rate limits, and one-time webhook secret, but omits explicit mention of idempotency hinted by 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 front-loaded with the core purpose, then details types and delivery. While lengthy, every sentence provides necessary information for correct invocation, earning its place without significant redundancy.

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?

The description covers all necessary aspects: purpose, subscription types with parameters, delivery options with constraints, and prerequisites. Despite no output schema, it specifies 'Returns the new subscription id', making it complete for a complex tool.

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 coverage is 100%, providing baseline of 3. However, the description adds significant detail beyond the schema: specific examples for each type (e.g., items:['5.02'] for sec_8k) and constraints for delivery (phone verification, 10/day cap), which enhances parameter understanding.

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 states 'Create a proactive monitoring subscription to a live-data event stream. Returns the new subscription id.' This clearly indicates the tool's action and result, distinguishing it from siblings like list_subscriptions or unsubscribe.

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 explains usage context with delivery channels referencing recent_alerts as a way to pull from the feed, but does not explicitly contrast with siblings like list_subscriptions or unsubscribe. Still, it provides sufficient context for choosing when to use this tool.

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

A4/5.0
Disambiguation3/5

Tools are richly described with clear use-cases, but several clusters overlap: ask_pipeworx/ask_pipeworx_beta/ask_pipeworx_grounded/deep_research are all question-routing tools with similar names, and the five polymarket_* tools cover adjacent prediction-market analysis. An agent could easily pick the wrong one without reading the full descriptions.

Naming Consistency4/5

All names are snake_case and mostly follow a verb_noun or domain_noun pattern (compare_entities, resolve_entity, denver_query, polymarket_edges, pipeworx_trending). There are minor deviations like single verbs (remember, forget), adjective-first names (recent_alerts, deep_research), and domain-prefixed groups, but the overall style is predictable and readable.

Tool Count2/5

34 tools is a large surface for one server, pushing beyond the 25+ threshold where agents struggle to choose. While the platform is genuinely multi-domain (data lookup, prediction markets, Denver open data, memory, subscriptions, npm checks, llms.txt generation), several niche clusters like the 5-tool Polymarket suite and 3-tool memory trio inflate the count.

Completeness4/5

The server covers its domain well: general querying, grounded verification, deep research, entity resolution, company profiling, change feeds, subscription lifecycle (subscribe/list/unsubscribe/alerts), memory lifecycle (remember/recall/forget), and discovery (discover_tools, suggest_questions). Minor gaps exist—such as no direct browsing of all Pipeworx sources—but agents can work around them.
