Polymarket Edge Tracker

polymarket_edge_tracker
Read-onlyIdempotent

Edge persistence and decay telemetry built from daily polymarket_edges snapshots. Answers "how long has this edge existed and is it shrinking?" — a fresh wide edge and a 3-week-old wide edge are different trades (the latter is wide for a reason nobody is willing to take). Args: days (lookback, default 14, max 30), window (snapshot family, default "1wk"). RESPONSE: tracked[] = every opportunity in the LATEST snapshot with its full edge_pp_net time-series across prior snapshots, first_seen, trend (new | widening | stable | decaying) and decay_pp_per_day (both computed on |edge_pp_net| — the value itself is signed by trade direction, negative = SELL YES); expired[] = opportunities that appeared in earlier snapshots but are GONE from the latest (closed, resolved, or arbed away) with their lifespan_days — the median lifespan is your competition clock; snapshot_dates[] = which days actually have data (snapshots are written when polymarket_edges runs on a cache-miss, so gaps mean nobody scanned that day). LIMITS: history depth is bounded by the 60-day snapshot TTL and starts from when snapshotting was enabled; decay numbers come from daily closes of edge_pp_net (net of default slippage), not intraday.

A4.4/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

The description provides extensive behavioral context beyond annotations: it details the output structure (tracked, expired, snapshot_dates), explains limits (60-day TTL, daily closes), and clarifies that decay is computed from daily closes. Annotations already indicate read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive behavior.

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 well-structured and front-loaded with the key question. It covers args, response format, and limits in a logical order. While somewhat dense, every sentence adds value, and the length is appropriate for the tool's complexity.

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?

The description is comprehensive given the lack of an output schema. It fully explains the response structure (tracked, expired, snapshot_dates) and important caveats (TTL, decay calculation). For a tool with moderate complexity, this is complete and self-contained.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, and the description largely repeats schema info for days and window. It adds minimal extra context (e.g., 'clamp 2-30' for days), but overall does not significantly enhance parameter understanding beyond what the schema provides.

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's purpose: to provide edge persistence and decay telemetry from daily snapshots. It answers a specific question ('how long has this edge existed and is it shrinking?') and distinguishes itself from sibling tools like polymarket_edges by focusing on historical trends.

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 implies when to use the tool (when edge persistence info is needed) but does not explicitly mention alternatives or when not to use it. Given the sibling context, it is clear enough for an agent to decide.

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

A4/5.0
Disambiguation3/5

Several tools have clear functional boundaries, but there is meaningful overlap at the top level: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, and ask_pipeworx_grounded share one routing pipeline, and ask_pipeworx_beta is currently identical to ask_pipeworx. The six polymarket_* tools also form a dense family where an agent must read long descriptions to distinguish arbitrage scanning from edge detection from fill-risk evaluation.

Naming Consistency4/5

Names are uniformly lowercase snake_case and mostly follow verb_noun or domain-prefix conventions, which makes the set much more predictable than its count suggests. Minor deviations exist: ask_pipeworx variants are product-noun phrases, polymarket_edges is a noun phrase rather than a verb-led tool, and pairs like polymarket_edges vs polymarket_edge_tracker are easy to misread.

Tool Count2/5

With 31 tools, this server is above the 25+ threshold and feels overloaded for a single MCP surface. It mixes broad data research, prediction-market analysis, memory, subscriptions, feedback, and niche utilities like generate_llms_txt, so the set is more like several related servers merged together.

Completeness4/5

The core workflow is well covered: discovery, single-answer routing, grounded verification, deep research, entity resolution, comparison, change tracking, subscription lifecycle, and even memory primitives. Missing are minor lifecycle refinements such as updating an existing subscription, and the number of overlapping entry points makes it slightly harder to guarantee the agent will always choose the intended path.
