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).

  5. Added

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already mark this as non-read-only and idempotent, but the description adds significant behavioral context: OAuth requirement with anonymous/BYO exclusion, phone verification and 10/day SMS cap, webhook HMAC signing and auto-disable after 10 failures, and the one-time delivery of the signing secret. These traits are beyond what annotations provide and set clear expectations.

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 a dense paragraph that front-loads the core purpose in the first sentence and packs all critical details. While somewhat long, every clause contributes necessary information for a multi-type, multi-channel subscription tool. It could be slightly more scannable with lists, but the content justifies the length.

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 (5 types, nested params, 4 delivery channels), the description covers all bases: return value, prerequisites, type-specific filtering, delivery channel behaviors, and operational limits. No output schema exists, but the description compensates by specifying the returned subscription ID and webhook secret. The tool is fully navigable without additional documentation.

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?

Despite 100% schema coverage, the description enriches every parameter with concrete examples and constraints: type-specific params like items:['5.02'] for sec_8k, topic:'fed' for polymarket_edge, and delivery object validation (E.164, verified phone, HTTPS-only webhooks). This adds substantial meaning beyond the schema's brief 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 opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Create a proactive monitoring subscription to a live-data event stream.' It clearly states the tool creates a subscription and returns an ID, distinguishing it from siblings like list_subscriptions and unsubscribe. The supported types and delivery channels further specify its unique role.

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 context for when to use the tool, including prerequisites (Pipeworx OAuth account) and alternatives for pulling alerts (recent_alerts or registry URL). It does not explicitly name sibling tools for exclusion, but the context is strong and the supported types/delivery options imply appropriate use cases. A minor gap is the lack of explicit 'use this instead of X' guidance.

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

Several tools have heavily overlapping purposes: ask_pipeworx and ask_pipeworx_beta are currently identical, ask_pipeworx_grounded and validate_claim both perform claim verification, and polymarket_edges and polymarket_arbitrage both surface trading opportunities. While descriptions are detailed, the boundaries are fuzzy and agents could easily select the wrong tool.

Naming Consistency3/5

Naming mixes verb-first (search, subscribe, recall, validate_claim) with noun-first (dataset, facets, recent, entity_profile) conventions, and some names are just adjectives or nouns. Consistent prefixed groups exist (polymarket_*, ask_pipeworx_*), but the overall style is inconsistent and the server name 'Pangaea' doesn't align with the dominant 'pipeworx' prefix.

Tool Count2/5

36 tools is excessive for a coherent set, especially given the server bundles unrelated domains (earth science, general data research, prediction markets, memory, utilities). Several tools are redundant (e.g., ask_pipeworx_beta duplicates ask_pipeworx), and many are niche (ai_visibility_check, generate_llms_txt, scan_dependency) that don't fit the apparent primary purpose.

Completeness3/5

The PANGAEA dataset surface covers search, retrieval by ID/DOI, recent, and facets, but lacks export or citation tools. The Pipeworx research tools are broad, but prediction market access has no simple market-price query (only analysis-oriented tools), and there are notable gaps in lifecycle coverage for some subdomains.
