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.

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations provide readOnlyHint=false (creates) and idempotentHint=true (safe to retry). Description adds key traits: requires OAuth, type-specific parameters, delivery constraints (SMS cap, webhook signing secret given once). No contradiction with annotations.

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?

Description is front-loaded with purpose and prerequisite, then organized by type and delivery. It is relatively long but every sentence adds value. Minor redundancy in repeating delivery details could be trimmed.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Covers prerequisite, types with examples, delivery channels with constraints. Does not explain return value format beyond 'id', nor error cases like duplicate subscriptions. Adequate given no output schema and rich sibling set.

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. The description enriches parameters with examples (e.g., sec_8k items codes, polymarket_edge topic, delivery channel constraints) providing additional meaning beyond the 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?

The description clearly states the verb 'Create' and resource 'proactive monitoring subscription', and specifies it returns a subscription id. It is distinct from siblings like 'unsubscribe' (removal) and 'list_subscriptions' (listing).

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?

Describes prerequisites (Pipeworx OAuth account) and supported types with examples. Hints at alternative delivery channels (feed, pull via recent_alerts) but does not explicitly contrast with other subscription tools like 'polymarket_edge_tracker' or when to use this vs. non-creating tools.

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

Multiple tools have overlapping purposes (e.g., three variants of ask_pipeworx, several polymarket tools, and multiple discovery/entity tools). Despite detailed descriptions, the similiar functionalities create confusion for an agent selecting among them.

Naming Consistency3/5

Tool names are consistently in snake_case but the verb/noun pattern is mixed: some start with verbs (ask_, list_, remember_), others with nouns (entity_profile, polymarket_edges). This inconsistency reduces predictability.

Tool Count2/5

35 tools is high for a single server, especially when the scope spans two disparate domains (HDX humanitarian data and Pipeworx data platform). Many tools could be logically split into separate, more focused servers.

Completeness3/5

The tool set covers a wide range of functionality (data retrieval, comparison, monitoring, memory) but has notable gaps: no direct data download tool for HDX resources, no account management, and no exploration of Pipeworx packs beyond discover_tools.
