Polymarket Fill Risk

polymarket_fill_risk
Read-onlyIdempotent

Realizable-vs-theoretical edge check against live CLOB order-book depth. REQUIRES one of market (single-market mode) or event (basket/partition mode). SINGLE-MARKET: pass a market slug/URL + side (buy_yes|sell_yes|buy_no|sell_no, default buy_yes) + size_usd (default 1000 — max spend on buys, target proceeds on sells); walks the ladder and returns top_of_book, vwap_fill_price, slippage_pp, shares_filled, max_fillable_usd, and a verdict (clean|degraded|cannot_fill). BASKET: pass an event slug/URL + side (sell_yes = capture overround by selling every leg, buy_yes = capture underround; default auto from partition sum) + size_usd interpreted as settlement notional S (shares per leg; each share pays $1); returns theoretical_sum vs realizable_sum (top-of-book vs VWAP across all legs), capture_ratio, profit_usd at executed size, per-leg fill detail, thin_legs[], max_clean_notional_usd, and forced_directional_risk naming the legs most likely to strand you unhedged. USE THIS before acting on any polymarket_arbitrage SELL/BUY-EVERY-LEG signal or any polymarket_edges trade above ~$500 — theoretical overround on thin books is not capturable, and partial basket fills convert an arb into an unhedged directional position (the dominant loss mode in real arb-bot P&L).

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
sideNoSingle-market: buy_yes | sell_yes | buy_no | sell_no (default buy_yes). Basket: sell_yes | buy_yes (default auto — sell if partition sum > 1, buy if < 1).
eventNoBasket mode: event slug or full polymarket.com URL — checks every leg of the partition.
marketNoSingle-market mode: market slug or full polymarket.com URL.
size_usdNoSingle-market: USD to spend (buys) or target proceeds (sells). Basket: settlement notional — shares per leg, each paying $1 at resolution. Default 1000, clamp 10–1,000,000.

A5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

The description discloses behavior well beyond the annotations (readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false). It reveals it 'walks the ladder', returns specific fields (top_of_book, vwap_fill_price, slippage_pp, etc.), and highlights the risk of partial fills and 'forced_directional_risk' — all without contradicting annotations.

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 dense but appropriately structured: it leads with the core purpose, then sequentially explains SINGLE-MARKET and BASKET modes with explicit return fields and risk notes. Every sentence earns its place, and the use of uppercase mode labels aids scannability for an AI agent.

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 has no output schema, so the description takes on the burden of explaining return values — and it does so thoroughly, listing specific fields per mode, the verdict categories, and the risk concept of unhedged directional positions. It fully contextualizes the tool's complexity and use case.

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?

Although the schema already has 100% parameter descriptions, the tool description adds critical semantics: size_usd is 'max spend on buys, target proceeds on sells' in single-market vs 'settlement notional S (shares per leg)' in basket, side defaults are explained, and the market vs event modes are clarified. This enriches the 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 opens with a specific verb+resource: 'Realizable-vs-theoretical edge check against live CLOB order-book depth.' It clearly distinguishes two modes (single-market and basket) and explicitly ties itself to sibling tools ('USE THIS before acting on any polymarket_arbitrage SELL/BUY-EVERY-LEG signal or any polymarket_edges trade above ~$500'), making its purpose unmistakable.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Usage is explicit with concrete triggers: 'before acting on any polymarket_arbitrage SELL/BUY-EVERY-LEG signal or any polymarket_edges trade above ~$500.' It also explains the rationale ('theoretical overround on thin books is not capturable, and partial basket fills convert an arb into an unhedged directional position') and provides mode-selection guidance (market vs event).

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

A3.5/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Several tools have overlapping or near-identical purposes, e.g., ask_pipeworx and ask_pipeworx_beta are explicitly described as currently equivalent, and polymarket_arbitrage, polymarket_edges, and bet_research all target prediction-market opportunities. Descriptions help somewhat, but boundaries remain fuzzy for agents.

Naming Consistency2/5

Tool names follow no consistent convention: some are verb-first (get_status_cat, remember), others are noun phrases (entity_profile, deep_research), and many use domain prefixes (ask_pipeworx, polymarket_*, pipeworx_feedback). While snake_case is maintained throughout, the structural pattern is mixed and unpredictable.

Tool Count2/5

At 33 tools, the server is well beyond the typical well-scoped range (3-15). The count is inflated by multiple overlapping meta-tools and unrelated utility groups (HTTP cats, Pipeworx research, prediction markets, memory, subscriptions), making the set feel bloated rather than focused.

Completeness2/5

The server name 'httpcat' implies HTTP status-cat functionality, but only 2 of 33 tools serve that purpose, leaving the named domain largely uncovered. As a general-purpose data server, the collection still has gaps (e.g., no direct trading, no general web search) and appears to be a random assortment of features rather than a coherent product.
