Subscribe to Alerts

subscribe
Idempotent

Create a proactive monitoring subscription to a live-data event stream. Returns the new subscription id. Requires a Pipeworx OAuth account (anonymous + BYO cannot persist subscriptions). Supported types: "sec_8k" (8-K filings matching ticker + item codes — e.g. items:["5.02"] = officer change), "polymarket_edge" (Polymarket↔Kalshi cross-venue mispricings — params:{topic:"fed"}), "fred_series" (new FRED observations — params:{series_id:"UNRATE"}). Delivery channels: feed (always on — pull via recent_alerts or GET registry.pipeworx.io/alerts.json), and optionally email (set delivery:{email:"you@x.com"}) or sms (delivery:{sms:"+15551234567"} — phone must be verified at /account first; 10/day cap).

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
typeYesSubscription type.
paramsYesType-specific filter. sec_8k: {ticker:"AAPL", items?:["5.02","1.01"]}. polymarket_edge: {topic:"fed", min_spread_bps?:500}. fred_series: {series_id:"UNRATE"}. patent_grant: {applicant:"Apple Inc."}. clinical_trial: {sponsor?:"Pfizer", condition?:"lung cancer", phase?:"PHASE3"} (sponsor or condition required).
deliveryNoOptional delivery channels in addition to the always-on persistent feed. {email:"you@x.com"} sends a templated alert per fired event. {sms:"+15551234567"} sends an SMS per event — must match the verified phone on the caller's account (verify at https://pipeworx.io/account first; 10/day cap). {webhook:"https://..."} POSTs each event JSON to your endpoint, HMAC-signed — the response includes delivery.webhook_secret (whsec_…) ONCE; verify X-Pipeworx-Signature = sha256 HMAC of "<X-Pipeworx-Timestamp>.<raw body>". Auto-disabled after 10 consecutive failing runs.

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Description adds rich behavioral details beyond annotations: delivery channels, caps (10/day SMS), webhook auto-disable, signing secret. Consistent with annotations (idempotentHint=true, etc.). 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.

Conciseness4/5

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

Front-loaded with main action and prerequisite. Content is well-structured but slightly lengthy. Every sentence provides value.

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 the tool's complexity (multiple types, delivery options, prerequisites), the description is comprehensive. Covers account requirement, type-specific params, delivery constraints, and return value. No output schema needed.

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%, but description adds significant meaning with examples for each type and detailed delivery explanations. For instance, it explains the semantics of sec_8k items and polymarket_edge topic.

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 verb ('Create') and resource ('proactive monitoring subscription'), and distinguishes from siblings like list_subscriptions and unsubscribe. It provides specific details about what the tool does and its output.

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?

Explicit prerequisite: requires Pipeworx OAuth account. Lists supported types with examples. Does not explicitly state when not to use, but the requirement and type details provide clear context.

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

A3.9/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have distinct, well-described purposes, but there is some overlap, especially among prediction market tools (bet_research, polymarket_arbitrage, etc.) and between ask_pipeworx and ask_pipeworx_grounded. Agents might occasionally select the wrong tool without careful reading.

Naming Consistency3/5

Tool names follow a mix of snake_case and camelCase (e.g., ai_visibility_check vs discover_tools). Some names are descriptive but inconsistent in style (subscribe, unsubscribe, list_subscriptions). Pattern is not uniform.

Tool Count3/5

With 32 tools, the server covers many domains (news, financials, prediction markets, entity resolution, memory). While each tool has a justification, the count feels heavy for a single server, and some tools could be consolidated.

Completeness3/5

The tool set spans a wide range of data sources and operations, but there are notable gaps. For news, only search and top headlines exist without advanced filtering. Prediction markets lack order placement tools. The broad scope means depth is sacrificed in some areas.
