Polymarket Arbitrage

polymarket_arbitrage
Read-onlyIdempotent

Find arbitrage opportunities on Polymarket via monotonicity violations + partition-sum checks. Call with NO args for a trending_scan of the top ~200 markets by weekly volume; pass event for the strongest per-event partition_check, or topic for a themed cross-event scan. event (recommended for a specific market): pass a Polymarket event slug like "fed-decision-may-2026" or "when-will-bitcoin-hit-150k"; walks child markets, checks date-axis / threshold-axis ordering AND computes the partition_check (sum of YES prices across mutually-exclusive legs — should ≈1; deviations >3pp emit a BUY/SELL EVERY LEG signal). topic (for cross-event scanning): pass a seed question like "Strait of Hormuz traffic returns to normal" or "Fed rate decision"; searches related events across the platform, flattens markets, runs the comparator on the union. Cross-event mode catches "...by May 31" vs "...by Jun 30" patterns that single-event misses. SEMANTIC ANCHOR: cross-event pairs require ≥0.30 Jaccard similarity on question tokens (prevents Powell-Fed-Pause being paired with Powell-DOJ-probe); skipped_low_similarity surfaces the rejected pair count. PARTITION FILTER: drops will-person-X / will-manager-Y / will-someone-else- placeholder slugs; partitions with >20% placeholder fraction return null arb signal. Response: opportunities[] (gap_pp, suggested_trade, reasoning, monotonicity violation context), and in event mode partition_check{sum_yes_prices, gap_from_1, placeholders_filtered, suggested_trade}. FILL CHECK: when the partition signal fires, arbitrage.fill_check prices it against live CLOB depth (theoretical_edge_pp_at_book vs realizable_edge_pp at 1000 shares/leg, thin_legs[]) — realizable_edge_pp ≤ 0 means the overround exists only at last-trade, not in the book; do not trade it. For custom sizing use polymarket_fill_risk.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
eventNoSingle-event mode (use this if you know the specific Polymarket event): event slug like "fed-decision-may-2026" or "when-will-bitcoin-hit-150k". Full Polymarket URLs also accepted.
topicNoCross-event mode (use this if you want to scan related events across the platform): a topic or seed question like "Fed rate decision" or "Strait of Hormuz traffic returns to normal". Tool searches Polymarket for related events and checks monotonicity across them.

TDQS

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Adds extensive behavioral context beyond annotations: describes monotonicity checks, partition_sum logic, Jaccard similarity threshold, placeholder filtering, fill check against CLOB depth, and conditions for not trading.

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?

Long but well-structured with clear sections (SEMANTIC ANCHOR, PARTITION FILTER, FILL CHECK). Front-loads key info. Slightly verbose but every sentence adds value.

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?

Highly complete given complexity: covers return structure (opportunities[], partition_check), edge cases (placeholder slugs, low similarity), and integration with fill_check. No output schema but description compensates admirably.

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%, but description adds meaning: explains that event accepts slugs or full URLs, topic is a seed question, and what each parameter triggers. Richly compensates for lack of output 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 finds arbitrage opportunities via monotonicity violations and partition-sum checks on Polymarket. It distinguishes three modes (no args, event, topic) with specific verbs and resources.

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?

Explicitly explains when to use each mode: no args for trending scan, event for a specific market, topic for cross-event scanning. It also provides alternatives like polymarket_fill_risk for custom sizing.

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

A3.7/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Multiple tool clusters have unclear boundaries: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, and ask_pipeworx_grounded are three variants of the same router (beta is currently identical), while bet_research, polymarket_edges, and polymarket_arbitrage all target prediction-market opportunities. ai_visibility_check is effectively a single-entity version of scan_competitor_ai_presence, and discover_tools overlaps heavily with suggest_questions.

Naming Consistency3/5

Tool names are uniformly snake_case and descriptive, but the pattern is mixed: verb-first names (ask_pipeworx, compare_entities, search_within) coexist with noun-first names (patent, scholarly, entity_profile), and the Lens.org pairing of patent/patents_search vs scholarly/scholarly_search is structurally inconsistent. Subgroups like pipeworx_* and polymarket_* are internally consistent, keeping the overall set readable.

Tool Count2/5

At 35 tools, this exceeds the 16-25 'heavy' band and bundles at least four distinct domains: Lens.org bibliometrics, Pipeworx data routing, Polymarket trading analysis, and memory/subscription utilities. While many tools serve legitimate purposes, the set feels sprawling and several variants (e.g., the three ask_pipeworx flavors) inflate the count without adding equivalent value.

Completeness4/5

The Pipeworx/Polymarket ecosystem is thoroughly covered with routing, grounded answers, deep research, entity resolution, validation, comparison, monitoring, and memory all present. The Lens.org portion is thin (search + fetch for patents and scholarly works) but covers the core read path; minor gaps exist such as no batch/export operations and no patent-number lookup.
