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).

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive. Description adds valuable context: mark_read flag behavior, that setting it true makes next call return newer events only, and what each alert contains. 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.

Conciseness5/5

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

Four sentences, front-loaded with main action, no fluff. Every sentence adds information: purpose, return fields, filtering, mark_read behavior, and alternative access.

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?

No output schema, but description covers return fields, parameter usage, polling suitability, and alternative endpoint. Complete for an alert retrieval tool with good annotation support.

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% with descriptions. Description adds meaning by showing usage examples (e.g., 'sec_8k' for type), explaining mark_read effect, and stating default limit. Adds value beyond 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?

Description clearly states it pulls fired events from subscription feed, lists specific fields returned (source, citation_uri, raw payload), and mentions filtering options. Distinguishes from siblings by focusing on recent alerts and providing an alternative REST endpoint.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Mentions polling works fine and provides an alternative access URL, but does not explicitly compare to sibling tools like recent_changes or search, nor does it state when to avoid using this tool.

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

A3.6/5.0
Disambiguation1/5

There is severe overlap among tools: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, and ask_pipeworx_grounded are near-identical variants, and deep_research, discover_tools, and suggest_questions all serve discovery/research purposes. The Discogs-specific tools are distinct, but the large number of redundant Pipeworx tools makes it impossible to tell which one to pick.

Naming Consistency2/5

The Discogs tools follow a clean verb_noun pattern (get_artist, get_label, get_master, get_release), but the majority of the set uses inconsistent, domain-specific names (deep_research, generate_llms_txt, polymarket_arbitrage, scan_competitor_ai_presence). No single naming convention is applied across the server.

Tool Count1/5

With 36 tools, the server is massively over-provisioned for a Discogs-focused API. Most tools (e.g., ask_pipeworx, polymarket_edges, SEC lookups) have nothing to do with Discogs and belong to a separate service. The Discogs surface alone could be served by ~6 tools (search, get_artist, get_label, get_master, get_release, search_within), so the count is wildly inappropriate.

Completeness3/5

For the Discogs domain, the core entities (artist, label, master, release) and full-text search are present, plus semantic search inside records. However, there are gaps like user collections, wantlists, marketplace, and discogs-specific filters beyond format/country. The presence of many unrelated tools does not directly hurt domain coverage, but the Discogs surface is not exhaustive.
