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).

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.

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond annotations (readOnlyHint: false, openWorldHint: true, idempotentHint: true, destructiveHint: false), the description discloses requirement for OAuth account, return of subscription id, rate limits on SMS (10/day), webhook auto-disable after 10 failures, and delivery channel constraints. It adds substantial behavioral context.

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 concise but thorough, using clear sectioning for purpose, requirements, types, and delivery channels. 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?

Given the tool's complexity (3 parameters, nested objects, multiple types, no output schema), the description covers purpose, inputs, outputs, prerequisites, and behavioral traits. It provides enough detail for correct invocation.

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?

With 100% schema description coverage, the description enriches each parameter with concrete examples and constraints (e.g., SEC 8-K items, polymarket topic, phone verification). It clarifies nested object structures and provides delivery channel specifics 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 clearly states 'Create a proactive monitoring subscription to a live-data event stream.' It identifies the resource (subscription) and action (create), and distinguishes from siblings like 'unsubscribe' and 'list_subscriptions' by focusing on creation.

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 explains prerequisites (OAuth account) and gives context for each subscription type. While it doesn't explicitly state when not to use this tool, it implies that only authenticated users can persist subscriptions, effectively excluding anonymous users.

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

A3.6/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have clearly distinct purposes, but there is some overlap between research-oriented tools like ask_pipeworx and deep_research, and between entity_profile and compare_entities. Descriptions help differentiate them, so overall an agent can tell them apart.

Naming Consistency2/5

Tool names are inconsistent, mixing snake_case (ask_pipeworx, list_subscriptions) and camelCase (bag_research, compare_entities). There is no uniform naming pattern, which can be confusing.

Tool Count2/5

With 35 tools, the set is too large for a server named 'Mastodon'. Only a few tools are actually Mastodon-related (e.g., get_account, get_timeline), while the majority are PipeWorx tools unrelated to the core purpose.

Completeness1/5

As a Mastodon server, the toolset is severely incomplete: it lacks basic social media operations like posting statuses, following/unfollowing, and engaging with content. The name misrepresents the actual capabilities.
