Polymarket Arbitrage

polymarket_arbitrage
Read-onlyIdempotent

Find arbitrage opportunities on Polymarket via monotonicity violations + partition-sum checks. Call with NO args for a trending_scan of the top ~200 markets by weekly volume; pass event for the strongest per-event partition_check, or topic for a themed cross-event scan. event (recommended for a specific market): pass a Polymarket event slug like "fed-decision-may-2026" or "when-will-bitcoin-hit-150k"; walks child markets, checks date-axis / threshold-axis ordering AND computes the partition_check (sum of YES prices across mutually-exclusive legs — should ≈1; deviations >3pp emit a BUY/SELL EVERY LEG signal). topic (for cross-event scanning): pass a seed question like "Strait of Hormuz traffic returns to normal" or "Fed rate decision"; searches related events across the platform, flattens markets, runs the comparator on the union. Cross-event mode catches "...by May 31" vs "...by Jun 30" patterns that single-event misses. SEMANTIC ANCHOR: cross-event pairs require ≥0.30 Jaccard similarity on question tokens (prevents Powell-Fed-Pause being paired with Powell-DOJ-probe); skipped_low_similarity surfaces the rejected pair count. PARTITION FILTER: drops will-person-X / will-manager-Y / will-someone-else- placeholder slugs; partitions with >20% placeholder fraction return null arb signal. Response: opportunities[] (gap_pp, suggested_trade, reasoning, monotonicity violation context), and in event mode partition_check{sum_yes_prices, gap_from_1, placeholders_filtered, suggested_trade}. FILL CHECK: when the partition signal fires, arbitrage.fill_check prices it against live CLOB depth (theoretical_edge_pp_at_book vs realizable_edge_pp at 1000 shares/leg, thin_legs[]) — realizable_edge_pp ≤ 0 means the overround exists only at last-trade, not in the book; do not trade it. For custom sizing use polymarket_fill_risk.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
eventNoSingle-event mode (use this if you know the specific Polymarket event): event slug like "fed-decision-may-2026" or "when-will-bitcoin-hit-150k". Full Polymarket URLs also accepted.
topicNoCross-event mode (use this if you want to scan related events across the platform): a topic or seed question like "Fed rate decision" or "Strait of Hormuz traffic returns to normal". Tool searches Polymarket for related events and checks monotonicity across them.

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the readOnlyHint/openWorldHint/idempotentHint annotations, the description discloses significant behavioral details: partition placeholder filtering, similarity thresholds, fill-check pricing against live CLOB depth, and a warning that 'realizable_edge_pp ≤ 0... do not trade it.' No contradictions 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?

The description is long but information-dense; each section (SEMANTIC ANCHOR, PARTITION FILTER, FILL CHECK) earns its place for a complex tool. Minor redundancy exists but is acceptable given the tool's sophistication.

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?

With two modes, filters, semantic checks, and no output schema, the description comprehensively explains the response structure (opportunities[], partition_check fields), fill-check logic, and when signals are invalid. For a tool this complex, nothing essential is missing.

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?

Although the input schema already describes both parameters well, the description adds substantial meaning: concrete slug examples, what each mode walks/computes, how 'topic' searches related events, and the semantic anchor/Jaccard constraint. This goes far beyond the schema's parameter descriptions.

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 opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Find arbitrage opportunities on Polymarket via monotonicity violations + partition-sum checks.' It clearly distinguishes itself from siblings like polymarket_fill_risk by defining its core detection method, and the multiple modes (trending_scan, event, topic) make its scope explicit.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description gives direct when-to-use guidance: 'Call with NO args for a trending_scan... pass event for... or topic for...' It also recommends event mode for specific markets, explains cross-event scanning rationale, and explicitly points to polymarket_fill_risk for custom sizing, thereby covering both usage and alternatives.

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

B3.4/5.0
Disambiguation1/5

The tool set is a chaotic mix of unrelated domains: Oregon Open Data tools (datasets, metadata, query) are buried among dozens of tools for Pipeworx general query, Polymarket betting, memory management, and AI visibility. Many tools have overlapping purposes (e.g., ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research, validate_claim) making it impossible for an agent to distinguish the right tool for a given task without deep inspection.

Naming Consistency1/5

Naming is wildly inconsistent: snake_case (ai_visibility_check, pipeworx_feedback), camelCase (bet_research, datasets, metadata, query), mixed (ask_pipeworx_grounded, polymarket_arbitrage). No consistent verb_noun or pattern exists, and many names are vague (remember, recall, forget) without connection to the server's assumed domain.

Tool Count2/5

33 tools is excessive for a server ostensibly about Oregon Open Data, which only has 3 relevant tools. The remaining 30 are from other services (Pipeworx, Polymarket, etc.) and do not belong, making the count inappropriate for the server's declared purpose.

Completeness2/5

For the Oregon Open Data domain, the surface is bare: only search, metadata, and query. Missing operations like upload, update, or delete datasets. The heavy presence of unrelated tools (betting, memory, AI visibility) does not compensate for the gap in the actual domain coverage.
