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?

Annotations declare readOnlyHint=true, openWorldHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false. The description adds substantial behavioral context: monotonicity checks, partition checks, semantic anchor with Jaccard similarity, placeholder filtering, and fill check with realizable edge vs theoretical edge. No contradiction.

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 detailed and well-structured with clear sections, but it is quite long. Every sentence adds value, but it could be tightened slightly without losing information.

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?

Given no output schema, the description explains the response format: opportunities array with fields, and partition_check object in event mode. It also covers edge cases (placeholder slugs, low similarity) and the fill check procedure. Comprehensive.

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?

Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions for both parameters. The description greatly amplifies meaning: explains slug format for event, seed question for topic, and provides examples. It clarifies constraints like Jaccard similarity and placeholder filtering.

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 it finds arbitrage opportunities on Polymarket via monotonicity violations and partition-sum checks. It differentiates itself from sibling tools by specifying two modes (event and topic) and explaining the trending scan with no args.

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?

Explicitly tells when to use each mode: 'Call with NO args for a trending_scan', 'pass event for the strongest per-event partition_check', 'topic for a themed cross-event scan'. It also warns about fill check and when not to trade.

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

A3.8/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Several tools have overlapping or near-identical purposes: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, and ask_pipeworx_grounded are one base query flow with different flavors, while entity_profile, compare_entities, and recent_changes all overlap on company information. The Polymarket family and the discovery/onboarding tools (discover_tools, suggest_questions, pipeworx_trending) also create boundary confusion despite good descriptions.

Naming Consistency3/5

The naming is consistently snake_case and mostly readable, but it mixes verb_noun tools (compare_entities, resolve_entity, validate_claim) with noun-phrase tools (entity_profile, polymarket_arbitrage, pipeworx_trending, datasets, metadata). The ask_pipeworx variants use a beta/grounded suffix pattern that is not applied uniformly across the other tool families.

Tool Count2/5

34 tools is well above the 25+ threshold and feels like several servers merged into one: US DOT catalog access, a generic Pipeworx data router, prediction-market tools, memory/subscription management, AI-visibility checks, and meta/discovery utilities. Many tools could be consolidated (the three ask_pipeworx variants, the five Polymarket tools, and the discovery trio).

Completeness3/5

The core data lifecycle is broadly covered: catalog search, metadata, querying, natural-language lookup, grounded verification, entity resolution, entity profiles, comparison, research, subscriptions, and memory all have working paths. However, the server is named around US DOT data but only datasets/metadata/query are DOT-specific, and the rest is an unrelated general-purpose data and prediction-market toolkit, leaving the stated domain feeling incomplete.
