Recent Alerts

recent_alerts
Read-onlyIdempotent

Pull fired events from your subscription feed. Returns the most recent alerts the evaluator has written to your persisted feed — each carries source, citation_uri (pipeworx:// when available), and the raw event payload. Filter by type (e.g. "sec_8k") and/or since (ISO timestamp). Set mark_read:true to flag returned events read so the next call only shows newer ones. Polls work fine; the same feed is also at GET registry.pipeworx.io/alerts.json for scripts and dashboards.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
typeNoOptional — filter to one subscription type.
limitNoMax events to return (1-200, default 50).
sinceNoOptional ISO timestamp — return events fired_at >= this time.
mark_readNoFlag the returned events read in the same call (default false).
unread_onlyNoReturn only events where read_at is null (default false).

A4.4/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already indicate a safe, read-only, idempotent operation. The description adds significant behavioral context: it specifies that each alert carries source, citation_uri, and raw event payload, explains the effect of mark_read (flagging as read), and confirms polling is safe. No contradictions 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.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a compact paragraph of 4-5 sentences. It front-loads the core purpose, then efficiently covers return values, filters, mark_read behavior, and polling advice. Every sentence adds value without redundancy.

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?

Despite having no output schema, the description details key return fields (source, citation_uri, raw event payload). It explains the effects of optional parameters and confirms polling safety. For a tool with moderate complexity and no required parameters, this is fully adequate and leaves no important gaps.

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 extra context beyond the schema, particularly for the mark_read parameter, by explaining its side effect of making subsequent calls return only newer events. This deeper explanation aids understanding.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The first sentence clearly states the verb ('Pull') and resource ('fired events from your subscription feed'). It implies the tool retrieves recent alerts. However, among many sibling tools, there is no explicit differentiation from similar tools like 'recent_changes' or 'subscribe', which would help an agent choose this tool over others.

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 notes that polling is acceptable and provides an alternative REST endpoint for scripts/dashboards, giving useful context for when to use this tool vs. another access method. It does not explicitly state when not to use it or contrast with sibling tools, but the provided context is sufficient for an agent to decide.

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

A3.9/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Several tools occupy overlapping roles: ask_pipeworx and ask_pipeworx_beta are currently identical, ask_pipeworx_grounded/deep_research/validate_claim all provide grounded answering, and bet_research/polymarket_edges/polymarket_arbitrage all surface betting opportunities. The descriptions are detailed, but the boundaries between routers and research modes are fuzzy enough that an agent could easily select the wrong one. The taxonomy, memory, and subscription clusters are distinct, but they are drowned out by the overlapping meta-tools.

Naming Consistency3/5

All names use snake_case, which provides some visual consistency, but the verb_noun pattern is not consistently applied: search_taxa/get_hierarchy are clean verb_noun, while deep_research, entity_profile, polymarket_edges, and bet_research are noun-ish or reversed patterns. There is good family-level consistency within ask_pipeworx_* and polymarket_*, but the overall set mixes conventions and requires reading descriptions to infer what each tool does.

Tool Count2/5

34 tools is well over the 25-tool threshold and reflects a sprawling multi-domain server spanning taxonomy, structured-data lookup, prediction markets, subscriptions, memory, and AI visibility. Each cluster may be individually reasonable, but as a single MCP surface it is too heavy and forces agents to filter through many irrelevant tools.

Completeness4/5

For the broad data-research and prediction-market purpose, the surface is fairly complete: it covers routing, grounded answers, deep multi-source research, entity profiles, comparisons, claim validation, entity resolution, subscriptions, alerts, memory, and market edge/fill checks. Minor gaps exist—no direct web-search tool, the beta router adds no current behavior, and some patent endpoints soft-fail—but agents can generally work around them.
