Recent Alerts

recent_alerts
Read-onlyIdempotent

Pull fired events from your subscription feed. Returns the most recent alerts the evaluator has written to your persisted feed — each carries source, citation_uri (pipeworx:// when available), and the raw event payload. Filter by type (e.g. "sec_8k") and/or since (ISO timestamp). Set mark_read:true to flag returned events read so the next call only shows newer ones. Polls work fine; the same feed is also at GET registry.pipeworx.io/alerts.json for scripts and dashboards.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
typeNoOptional — filter to one subscription type.
limitNoMax events to return (1-200, default 50).
sinceNoOptional ISO timestamp — return events fired_at >= this time.
mark_readNoFlag the returned events read in the same call (default false).
unread_onlyNoReturn only events where read_at is null (default false).

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

The description discloses the effect of mark_read (flagging as read so next call shows only newer events) and the nature of returned data (source, citation_uri, raw payload). Annotations already mark readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint as true/false, and the description adds context beyond annotations—e.g., the feed persistence and alternative access.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

A single, dense paragraph with no wasted words. The primary action is stated first, followed by return details, filter options, a behavioral note, and finally an alternative access path. Every sentence earns its place.

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?

Despite no output schema, the description explains the return format (source, citation_uri, raw event payload). Annotations cover safety and idempotency. The tool is a simple read operation with clear parameters, and the description provides all necessary context for an agent to use it correctly.

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?

All 5 parameters have schema descriptions (100% coverage), but the description adds extra meaning: explains 'type' filters with an example ('sec_8k'), that 'since' is an ISO timestamp, that limit max is 200 with default 50, and clarifies that mark_read and unread_only are boolean flags. The description enriches the parameters beyond the 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?

The description starts with a clear verb ('Pull') and specific resource ('fired events from your subscription feed'), and details the return fields (source, citation_uri, raw event payload). It distinguishes itself by explaining how it works with the subscription feed, which is unique among sibling tools like 'list_subscriptions' or 'la_recent'.

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?

Provides explicit filter options (type, since) and a behavioral setting (mark_read). Mentions that polling works fine and even gives an alternative access method ('the same feed is also at GET registry.pipeworx.io/alerts.json'), but does not explicitly state when not to use this tool versus alternatives like 'la_recent' or search tools.

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

A3.9/5.0
Disambiguation3/5

Many tools have closely related or overlapping purposes: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta (currently identical), and ask_pipeworx_grounded all route to the same underlying toolset, while discover_tools and suggest_questions both help agents discover capabilities. The polymarket_* family also has several opportunity-scanning tools with subtle differences, though detailed descriptions help clarify.

Naming Consistency3/5

Names are mostly snake_case but follow mixed patterns: verb-first (ask_pipeworx, validate_claim), noun-first (entity_profile, bet_research, la_recent), and bare verbs (remember, forget, unsubscribe). The prefix groups (la_, pipeworx_, polymarket_) show some consistency, but there is no uniform verb_noun convention.

Tool Count2/5

34 tools is well into the 'too many' range for a single server. The surface bundles several distinct domains—structured data querying, prediction markets, LA open data, memory, subscriptions, and npm scanning—making it feel like a kitchen sink rather than a focused toolset.

Completeness4/5

Within each bundled sub-domain, coverage is strong: query/grounded/research/entity-profile/compare/validate covers data workflows; polymarket tools include research, edge scan, arbitrage, fill-risk, and cross-venue spread; LA data has search/query/recent; memory and subscription lifecycles are fully CRUD. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no way to browse LA dataset attributes beyond search), but no major dead ends.
