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.

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

The description adds significant behavior beyond annotations: requires OAuth account, returns subscription id, delivery channel constraints (SMS cap, webhook auto-disable, secret one-time return). Annotations only indicate non-read-only, non-destructive, idempotent, open world.

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 comprehensive but somewhat lengthy. It is well-structured with purpose first, then types, then delivery. Every sentence adds value, but could be trimmed slightly for conciseness.

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?

For a create tool with no output schema, the description covers return value, prerequisites, all types and params, delivery channel behaviors, and failure modes (webhook auto-disable). Thorough and complete.

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%. Description adds concrete examples for each type, delivery channel details (phone verification, webhook HMAC), and explains the params object structure thoroughly. Adds substantial value beyond 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 tool creates a proactive monitoring subscription to a live-data event stream, specifying verb, resource, and context. It distinguishes from siblings like unsubscribe and list_subscriptions.

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?

Provides explicit when-to-use guidance with prerequisites, types, and delivery options. Lacks explicit when-not-to-use but context is clear. Does not directly contrast with pulling via recent_alerts.

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

A4.2/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have clearly distinct purposes, but there are some close groups: the ask_pipeworx family (ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, ask_pipeworx_grounded) and the prediction market tools (bet_research, polymarket_arbitrage, polymarket_edges, etc.) require careful reading to distinguish subtle differences.

Naming Consistency3/5

Naming is inconsistent: some tools start with verbs (ask, compare, generate), others with nouns (inegi_indicator, entity_profile), and there is no uniform verb_noun pattern. However, within families, naming is consistent (e.g., ask_pipeworx*).

Tool Count4/5

With 33 tools, the server is on the higher side but not excessive. Each tool serves a distinct purpose, though some could be merged (e.g., ask_pipeworx variants). The count is justified by the breadth of domains covered (INEGI, Pipeworx, Polymarket, utilities).

Completeness4/5

The toolset covers a wide range of functionalities: Mexican demographic/economic data, general structured data queries, prediction market analysis, and utility tools. Minor gaps exist (e.g., limited direct API for some Mexican indicators), but overall the surface is comprehensive for the stated purpose.
