Polymarket Edge Tracker

polymarket_edge_tracker
Read-onlyIdempotent

Edge persistence and decay telemetry built from daily polymarket_edges snapshots. Answers "how long has this edge existed and is it shrinking?" — a fresh wide edge and a 3-week-old wide edge are different trades (the latter is wide for a reason nobody is willing to take). Args: days (lookback, default 14, max 30), window (snapshot family, default "1wk"). RESPONSE: tracked[] = every opportunity in the LATEST snapshot with its full edge_pp_net time-series across prior snapshots, first_seen, trend (new | widening | stable | decaying) and decay_pp_per_day (both computed on |edge_pp_net| — the value itself is signed by trade direction, negative = SELL YES); expired[] = opportunities that appeared in earlier snapshots but are GONE from the latest (closed, resolved, or arbed away) with their lifespan_days — the median lifespan is your competition clock; snapshot_dates[] = which days actually have data (snapshots are written when polymarket_edges runs on a cache-miss, so gaps mean nobody scanned that day). LIMITS: history depth is bounded by the 60-day snapshot TTL and starts from when snapshotting was enabled; decay numbers come from daily closes of edge_pp_net (net of default slippage), not intraday.

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

The description goes far beyond the annotations, which already declare readOnly, openWorld, idempotent, and non-destructive. It adds critical behavioral details: response structure (tracked[], expired[], snapshot_dates[]), data source (snapshots on cache-miss), limitations (60-day TTL, gaps due to no scans), and computation basis (daily closes of edge_pp_net, not intraday).

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?

The description is long but highly structured: it opens with the core purpose, then clearly labels Args, RESPONSE, and LIMITS. Every sentence contributes valuable information—no filler. The format is easy to scan and front-loaded with the main question it answers.

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 comprehensively covers return fields (tracked[], expired[], snapshot_dates[]) with field-level details (e.g., trend options, decay calculation). It also covers data availability (snapshot gaps, TTL) and precision caveats (daily closes, not intraday). This is complete for a telemetry tool of this complexity.

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%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds extra meaning by explaining 'days' as lookback with defaults and limits, and 'window' as a snapshot family (e.g., 24hr, 1wk, 1mo) with a default. This clarifies semantics beyond the schema, though much is already in the 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 clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Edge persistence and decay telemetry built from daily polymarket_edges snapshots.' It answers a specific question ('how long has this edge existed and is it shrinking?') and distinguishes itself from siblings like polymarket_edges (which likely provides current edges) by focusing on temporal tracking and decay.

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?

The description provides strong contextual guidance: it explains that this tool is for understanding edge persistence over time (e.g., 'a fresh wide edge and a 3-week-old wide edge are different trades'). It doesn't explicitly name alternative tools, but the context makes it clear when to use this vs. a current-edge 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
Disambiguation2/5

Several tool clusters have overlapping purposes: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research, and validate_claim all answer factual questions; polymarket_arbitrage, polymarket_edges, polymarket_edge_tracker, polymarket_fill_risk, and polymarket_kalshi_spread all analyze prediction-market opportunities; discover_tools and suggest_questions both serve as meta-tool onboarding. An agent could easily pick the wrong variant.

Naming Consistency3/5

Most tools use snake_case, but naming patterns are mixed: some are verb_noun (get_flood_forecast, list_subscriptions), some are noun-centric (entity_profile, bet_research), some are bare verbs (remember, recall, forget), and some use long descriptive phrases (ask_pipeworx_grounded, polymarket_kalshi_spread). It is readable but lacks a single predictable convention.

Tool Count2/5

33 tools is heavy for a server whose apparent core is flood forecasting — only 2 of 33 tools (get_flood_forecast, get_river_discharge) relate to flooding. The bulk is a sprawling Pipeworx data-access, prediction-market, and memory layer, making the surface feel overstuffed and off-topic relative to the server name.

Completeness2/5

If the intended domain is flood data, the surface is severely incomplete: only forecast and discharge lookups exist, with no historical flood events, alert subscriptions, mapping, or severity-warning tools. If instead the domain is meant to be Pipeworx-style data research, the surface is broad but still has gaps (no direct SEC filing text retrieval, no clear update/delete lifecycle for many resources). Either way, the purpose is unclear and coverage is mismatched.
