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).

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.

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

The description fully discloses behavioral traits: write operation (creates subscription), idempotent (annotation), and non-destructive. It adds critical context beyond annotations: requires OAuth, returns ID, delivery constraints (SMS cap, webhook auto-disable after 10 failures, phone verification needed). 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?

The description is well-structured with a clear lead sentence, then requirements, types, and delivery details. It is slightly verbose on webhook HMAC steps but remains efficient and front-loaded.

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?

The tool is complex with 3 parameters (one nested object) and no output schema. The description covers prerequisites, all subscription types with parameter examples, return values, and delivery constraints with error handling (auto-disable). It is thorough for the tool's 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 baseline is 3. The description adds concrete examples for each subscription type (e.g., sec_8k items, polymarket_edge topic) and explains nested delivery fields (webhook secret, HMAC). This enhances understanding beyond the schema's 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 states a specific verb ('Create') and resource ('proactive monitoring subscription'), and includes the return value ('Returns the new subscription id'). It clearly distinguishes from siblings like list_subscriptions and unsubscribe.

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 explicitly mentions the requirement for a Pipeworx OAuth account, lists supported types with examples, and details delivery channels. However, it does not explicitly state when to avoid using this tool or direct users to alternatives (e.g., manage existing subscriptions via list_subscriptions/unsubscribe), though context signals provide sibling names.

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

A4.1/5.0
Disambiguation3/5

Several tools form overlapping clusters (ask_pipeworx/ask_pipeworx_beta/ask_pipeworx_grounded, the five polymarket_* tools, and discover_tools vs suggest_questions) that could cause misselection on first glance. The detailed descriptions mostly clarify the boundaries, but the overlaps are real and require careful reading.

Naming Consistency4/5

The naming is overwhelmingly snake_case with a verb_noun pattern (ask_, extract_, generate_, list_, resolve_, subscribe), which is predictable. A few noun-style or special-form names (entity_profile, html_to_text, recent_changes, polymarket_edges) break the pattern, but these are minor deviations.

Tool Count2/5

At 34 tools the surface is heavy, especially for a server named 'Htmltext' where only 4 of 34 tools relate to HTML. Even accounting for the broad data/research domain, the set includes several redundant research and Polymarket helpers that push it past a well-scoped count.

Completeness4/5

The major subdomains are well covered: HTML extraction, entity/data research, prediction-market analysis, memory, and subscriptions all have the core operations needed with no obvious dead ends. Some niches are shallow (HTML lacks a general fetch/render tool; scan_dependency is a one-off), but agents can work around these gaps.
