list_subscriptionsList the caller's active subscriptions. Returns id, type, params, created_at, last_fired_at, fire_count for each. Use this to review what you're monitoring before adding more or to find an id to cancel.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| include_inactive | No | Include cancelled subscriptions in the response (default false). |

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true, so the description adds value by specifying the return fields and the include_inactive behavior. It clarifies that only active subscriptions are returned by default, enriching the behavioral context beyond the annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences with front-loaded purpose and return fields. Every phrase earns its place, no redundancy or fluff.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool is simple (one optional param, no output schema), and the description covers purpose, return fields, and usage context. With strong annotations and 100% schema coverage, nothing critical is missing.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so the parameter description already fully documents include_inactive. The description adds no further parameter syntax or semantics, though it does implicitly contrast 'active' with 'cancelled', which is a minor complement. Baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states the verb 'List' and resource 'the caller's active subscriptions', distinguishing it from sibling tools like subscribe/unsubscribe. It also enumerates the exact fields returned, making the purpose unmistakable.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly tells when to use: 'review what you're monitoring before adding more' and 'to find an id to cancel'. This gives clear use cases and implies the tool is for inspection rather than modification, aligning with sibling context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Most tools have clearly distinct purposes, but the Polymarket analytics tools (polymarket_arbitrage, polymarket_edges, polymarket_edge_tracker, polymarket_fill_risk, polymarket_kalshi_spread) have overlapping focuses that could confuse an agent if descriptions are not read carefully. Overall, detailed descriptions help differentiate them.
All tool names are lowercase with underscores and follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (e.g., ask_pipeworx, bet_research, compare_entities). Prefixes like polymarket_ and pipeworx_ group related tools. No mixing of conventions or vague names.
With 33 tools, the count is on the higher side but appropriate given the broad scope covering Pipeworx data access, Polymarket analytics, web scraping, memory, and subscriptions. Each tool has a distinct role, and the set is not overly bloated.
The tool surface covers a wide range of tasks: data queries, prediction market analysis, web scraping, memory, and subscriptions. Minor gaps exist, such as no tool for user account management or writing data back, but the core domain is well-covered with multiple specialized tools.
