list_subscriptionsList the caller's active subscriptions. Returns id, type, params, created_at, last_fired_at, fire_count for each. Use this to review what you're monitoring before adding more or to find an id to cancel.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| include_inactive | No | Include cancelled subscriptions in the response (default false). |

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations (readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint) already signal safe, read-only behavior. The description adds the specific return structure (id, type, params, timestamps, fire_count), providing useful behavioral context beyond annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two efficient sentences: first defines purpose and output, second gives usage guidance. No redundant information, perfectly front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple tool with no output schema, the description compensates by enumerating return fields and providing usage context. It is complete for the agent to understand when and what to expect.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with a clear parameter description for include_inactive. The main description does not mention the parameter, but the schema fully covers it, so a baseline of 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (list) and resource (caller's subscriptions), and lists the exact return fields. It is specific and distinguishes the tool's purpose from siblings like subscribe and unsubscribe.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Provides explicit usage scenarios: review monitoring before adding more or find an id to cancel. While it doesn't explicitly state when not to use, the context is clear and actionable.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Add one secure layer between your agents and this server.
Most tools have distinct purposes, but several query tools (ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research, entity_profile, compare_entities, validate_claim) overlap in functionality, which could confuse an agent. The Polymarket and HUD subgroups are well-separated.
Tool names use multiple styles: verb_noun (ask_pipeworx), prefixed groups (hud_*, polymarket_*, pipeworx_*), and standalone verbs (forget, recall). While subgroups are consistent, the overall set lacks a uniform pattern.
With 35 tools, the server offers broad data and analytics capabilities. The count is on the high side but justified by the range of features (HUD, general queries, prediction markets, memory, subscriptions). Some tools are highly specialized.
The tool surface covers housing data, multi-source querying, prediction markets, memory, subscriptions, and meta-tools. Minor gaps exist (e.g., deeper user account management), but core workflows are well-supported.
