Open Sanctions

by io.github.pipeworx-io

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).

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint false. The description adds context about the mark_read flag changing read state for subsequent calls, explains return payload structure, and confirms polling works. These details go beyond annotations but no contradictions.

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 with about 5 sentences, front-loading the core purpose and then detailing filtering and behavioral options. Every sentence adds value, no fluff or repetition.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With 5 parameters fully described in schema and extra context in description, plus return fields explained, the tool is fairly complete. Lacks pagination details but is sufficient for a read-only feed pull. No output schema, so return structure is covered.

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%, yet the description adds significant meaning: example for type ('sec_8k'), clarifies since as ISO timestamp, explains mark_read and unread_only behavior, and specifies limit range (1-200, default 50). This adds value beyond the schema 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 it pulls fired events from a subscription feed, specifies return fields (source, citation_uri, raw event payload), and mentions filtering by type and since. It distinguishes the tool from siblings like list_subscriptions by focusing on event retrieval rather than subscription management.

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 provides clear usage context: it explains filters (type, since), polling suitability, and the mark_read flag for tracking read state. It also mentions an alternative endpoint (GET registry.pipeworx.io/alerts.json) for scripts/dashboards. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or compare with siblings.

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
Disambiguation2/5

Multiple tools have overlapping purposes, especially the ask_pipeworx variants (ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research, bet_research) which all serve to query data but with subtle differences. An agent would struggle to distinguish which to use without deep understanding of their nuances.

Naming Consistency3/5

Most tool names follow a verb_noun or noun_noun pattern in snake_case, but there are exceptions like 'forget', 'recall', 'remember' which are single verbs, and names like 'ask_pipeworx' mix verb and proper noun. Overall pattern is discernible but not uniform.

Tool Count2/5

33 tools is high for a server named 'Open Sanctions' which implies a focused domain. The tool set spans sanctions, meta-querying, prediction markets, memory, subscriptions, and more, making it feel bloated and unfocused relative to the server's name.

Completeness2/5

For a sanctions server, only two tools (search_entities, get_entity) directly address the domain, missing obvious operations like update, delete, or list. Many tools are unrelated to sanctions, leaving the core domain incomplete.
