Bet Research

bet_research
Read-onlyIdempotent

Research a Polymarket bet by pulling the relevant Pipeworx data for it in one call. Pass a market slug ("will-bitcoin-hit-150k-by-june-30-2026"), a polymarket.com URL, or a question text. The tool resolves the market, classifies the bet, fans out to category-specific data packs in parallel, and returns an evidence packet + simple market-vs-model comparison. Use for "should I bet on X", "what does the data say about Y", or "is there edge in Z". CLASSIFIERS: crypto_price, fed_rate, geopolitical, sports, sports_championship, drug_approval, election_candidate, tech_launch, space_launch, corporate, corporate_earnings, corporate_event, public_figure_speech, weather, other. FAN-OUT EXAMPLES: BTC bet → coingecko + fred + gdelt+gnews; Fed bet → fred (DFEDTARU + EFFR + CPIAUCSL) + kalshi_macro (KXFED implied probs) + recent_fed_actions (federal-register rules, last 365d); Hormuz bet → imf_portwatch + airspace + gdelt; Yankees WS → mlb_stats_standings + parent_event partition + news; hottest-year bet → climate_projection_nyc + gistemp_latest (NASA global anomaly, rank since 1880) + news; NVDA-vs-AAPL → finnhub get_quote + edgar shares-outstanding (derived market cap) + edgar filings + news. RESPONSE SHAPES: result.market carries best_bid/best_ask/spread_pp/liquidity/price_change_1h/1d/1w; result.analysis carries model_probability/edge_pp/kelly_fraction_half when a closed-form model fires PLUS a 24h-move warning ("Market moved X.Xpp in 24h, comparable to model edge — your edge may already be priced in") when relevant; result.evidence is keyed by source. RESOLVER CONTRACT: result.market_match_confidence ∈ {high, medium, low, none}, market_match_score (0-1 token-overlap), market_match_alternatives[] (other candidate markets the resolver considered), and suggestions[] (explicit re-query hints when the match is fuzzy) — ALWAYS inspect these before trusting the analysis block, because medium/low matches can still surface other fields. PARENT_EVENT EXTRACTOR: when the bet is one leg of a partition (Yankees WS, Romania election), result.parent_event{matched_candidate, top_legs_by_price[], partition_size, placeholders_filtered} gives you the peer prices in one place — that's the headline for elections/championships. NEWS FIELDS: news entries carry _fallback_attempted / _fallback_failed_reason / retry_after_sec when GDELT 429s and GNews backfill ran or failed. SAFETY: low-confidence resolutions short-circuit with status:"low_confidence_match" and suppress analysis fields so agents can't accidentally size on phantom matches. Closed/dead markets that ARE still indexed by Polymarket (yes_price≈0, no volume, no liquidity) return status:"market_closed_or_inactive" and skip fan-out. In practice resolved markets are usually de-indexed and instead surface via the low_confidence_match path above — both routes are BLOCKING, just different mechanisms. Wide-spread markets (>10pp) carry tradeability:"illiquid_wide_spread" + an explanatory note. RESOLUTION-RULE RISK: market.cancellation_rule parses the void/postponement settlement out of the resolution text — refund_50_50 (shares settle flat 50¢ on void; EV-material for any entry away from 50¢, with ev_impact quantified), resolves_no_on_cancel, resolves_yes_on_cancel, carries_to_reschedule, or mentioned_unclear. null means the description never mentions cancellation. Check this before sizing sports/esports/event-occurrence bets — audited arb-bot ledgers show flat-50¢ void settlements are a recurring pure-rules loss.

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations (readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false) are fully consistent. The description adds extensive behavioral details: fan-out patterns, resolver contract, parent extractor, news fallback logic, safety short-circuits, illiquid spread handling, and cancellation rule parsing. 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 lengthy but well-structured with clear sections (CLASSIFIERS, FAN-OUT, RESPONSE SHAPES, etc.) and front-loaded core action. Every section adds necessary detail, though could be slightly more concise without losing information.

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 (multiple fan-out paths, resolver, safety checks) and lack of output schema, the description covers all necessary aspects: input formats, response shapes, edge cases (closed markets, low confidence, wide spreads), and cancellation rule risk. Fully informative for agent usage.

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%, baseline 3. Description supplements each parameter: market input types are explained in depth, depth enum with quick/thorough meaning, include_raw with usage guidance. Adds value beyond schema definitions.

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 researches Polymarket bets by pulling Pipeworx data, specifying input types (slug, URL, question) and output (evidence packet + comparison). It distinguishes from sibling tools like polymarket_edges and research tools through unique fan-out and resolver details.

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 explicit use cases ('should I bet on X', 'what does the data say about Y', 'is there edge in Z') and guidance on checking fields like market_match_confidence and parent_event. It lacks explicit when-not-to-use, but the safety mechanisms and closed-market handling implicitly guide appropriate usage.

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 the same functional space: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research, and validate_claim all answer factual questions from Pipeworx data, and ask_pipeworx_beta is explicitly identical to ask_pipeworx right now. The prediction-market tools also heavily overlap in purpose, as do ai_visibility_check and scan_competitor_ai_presence. Only the Openverse media tools and memory/subscription tools are cleanly distinguishable.

Naming Consistency3/5

All names are lowercase snake_case, but the naming conventions are mixed: verb_noun tools like search_images and resolve_entity coexist with bare verbs like remember, recall, forget, and subscribe, plus noun compounds like entity_profile, polymarket_edges, and bet_research. Subfamilies such as polymarket_* and the audio/image tools are internally consistent, but there is no single predictable pattern across the full set.

Tool Count2/5

37 tools exceeds the 25+ threshold and feels inflated for the surface, especially since several could be consolidated: there are three ask_pipeworx variants and five overlapping prediction-market tools. The Openverse-specific core is only 6 tools, with 31 mostly unrelated Pipeworx and utility tools attached, making the server feel like a grab-bag rather than a purpose-built Openverse integration.

Completeness4/5

Each embedded subdomain covers its main lifecycle well: Openverse has search/get/related for images and audio, memory has remember/recall/forget, subscriptions have subscribe/list/unsubscribe/recent_alerts, and research has ask, grounded, deep_research, entity_profile, compare_entities, resolve_entity, and validate_claim. Minor gaps exist—notably no Openverse video/collection tooling and no explicit memory update—but agents can work around them without hitting dead ends.
