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.

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations indicate write operation (readOnlyHint=false) with idempotentHint=true and openWorldHint=true. The description adds behavioral context: requires OAuth, delivery channels (feed always on, optional email/sms/webhook with constraints like 10 SMS/day limit, webhook auto-disable after 10 failures, signing secret returned once). No contradiction.

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 relatively long but front-loaded with the core purpose. Every sentence adds value, though some technical details (e.g., webhook HMAC signing) could be abbreviated. Still, it remains clear and well-structured.

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 params including nested objects, no output schema) and the presence of sibling management tools, this description provides complete context: subscription creation, types, delivery, OAuth requirement, and constraints. No missing critical information.

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 significant value by explaining each enum option for type, providing detailed examples for params per type, and clarifying delivery fields including verification and caps. This goes well beyond the schema's minimal descriptions.

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 and returns the subscription ID. It distinguishes this from sibling tools like list_subscriptions, unsubscribe, and recent_alerts 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 when to use the tool (for proactive monitoring), requires Pipeworx OAuth account, and lists supported subscription types with parameter examples. It does not explicitly state when not to use it or name alternatives, but the context is clear.

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

A3.8/5.0
Disambiguation3/5

Most tools have detailed descriptions that clearly delineate their purposes, but ask_pipeworx_beta is currently functionally identical to ask_pipeworx, and deep_research overlaps with ask_pipeworx for multi-part questions. The six polymarket_* tools also share related territory, though their boundaries are well-documented.

Naming Consistency3/5

All names use snake_case, and domain prefixes like polymarket_, pipeworx_, and ask_ add predictability. However, the set mixes verb-led names (compare_entities, resolve_entity, search_within) with noun-led names (entity_profile, recent_changes, bet_research), so there is no single consistent verb_noun convention.

Tool Count2/5

35 tools is well above the 15-25 'heavy' band and feels like a kitchen sink: the server bundles a data-research platform, prediction-market analysis, memory, subscriptions, number conversions, and web-dev utilities into one surface. Many of these are unrelated to the server's 'Numbers' identity.

Completeness4/5

The main subdomains are thoroughly covered: data lookup (ask_pipeworx variants, deep_research, validate_claim), prediction-market analysis (arbitrage, edges, fill risk, kalshi spread), memory (remember/recall/forget), and subscriptions (subscribe/list/unsubscribe/recent_alerts). Minor gaps exist, such as no subscription update operation, but core lifecycle coverage is strong.
