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.

A4.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations declare idempotentHint=true, but the description indicates each call returns a new subscription id, implying non-idempotent behavior. This is a contradiction. The description does disclose auth requirements and constraints (SMS cap, phone verification), adding value beyond annotations, but the idempotency issue reduces transparency.

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 front-loaded with purpose and return, then requirements, types, and delivery. It is fairly long but well-structured. Some detail could be removed or placed in schema, but it remains clear and organized.

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 types, delivery options, constraints), the description covers auth, type-specific parameters, delivery details (including webhook signing and auto-disable), and return value. No output schema exists, but the return is adequately described. It enables an agent to use the tool correctly.

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 covers all parameters (100% coverage), and the description adds significant detail with examples for each type (e.g., sec_8k items, polymarket_edge topic) and delivery channel constraints (webhook signing, SMS cap). This goes well 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 the verb (create), resource (subscription), return value (new subscription id), and distinguishes from siblings like list_subscriptions and unsubscribe. It lists supported types and delivery channels, making the purpose unambiguous.

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 context for when to use the tool (proactive monitoring), specifies requirements (Pipeworx OAuth account), and details type-specific parameters. However, it does not explicitly exclude use cases or compare to alternatives like ask_pipeworx or polymarket_edges, leaving some ambiguity.

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

B3.2/5.0
Disambiguation3/5

Tools like ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, and ask_pipeworx_grounded have overlapping purposes (all answer questions via a universal router), with only subtle distinctions (beta version, grounded mode). Additionally, many tools like entity_profile, compare_entities, recent_changes, and resolve_entity all pull SEC/company data, and polymarket_arbitrage, polymarket_edges, polymarket_fill_risk, bet_research all relate to prediction markets, creating potential confusion. However, each tool does have a somewhat distinct purpose and detailed descriptions help differentiate them, so it's not extreme overlap.

Naming Consistency2/5

Tool names are mostly lowercase with underscores (e.g., 'ask_pipeworx', 'compare_entities', 'resolve_entity'), but there's a mix of verb-first (bulk_splits, list_subscriptions) and noun-first (data_types, get_quote) patterns. Also 'aggregates' and 'grouped_daily' both fetch bars but have different naming styles. The naming is inconsistent with no clear uniform pattern, and some names are vague like 'helpers' or 'utility-*'.

Tool Count2/5

43 tools is quite heavy for a single MCP server, exceeding the typical 15-25 range for 'too many'. While the server aggregates many different domains (Polygon stocks, Pipeworx data, Polymarket, npm, etc.), the sheer number makes it overwhelming for an agent to discover and select the right tool. Many tools are meta-tools (ask_pipeworx, discover_tools) that add complexity rather than mapping to a clear domain.

Completeness4/5

The server covers a huge range of operations: stock data (retrieve, search, details), prediction markets (arbitrage, edges, research, fill risk), entity resolution, subscriptions, memory, and meta-tools. There are some gaps like no obvious tool for modifying stock data (not expected) and the Polymarket side lacks a tool for placing actual trades or managing positions. But overall the surface is quite complete for a comprehensive data/research server.
