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).

A5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Discloses return structure with fields, explains the side effect of mark_read on read state, and notes the feed availability via a separate GET endpoint. Adds significant context beyond the readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint annotations, with 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?

Single compact paragraph that front-loads the purpose and efficiently covers all key aspects without redundancy. Every sentence adds value, making it easy to scan.

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?

With 5 optional parameters and no output schema, the description adequately covers return fields, filter usage, state management via mark_read, polling guidance, and an alternative access method. Nothing essential is missing.

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%, but the description enhances each parameter: explains the filtering role of 'type', the ISO timestamp format for 'since', the state-changing behavior of 'mark_read', and the null-check logic for 'unread_only'. Goes well beyond baseline.

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?

Clearly states the tool pulls fired events from subscription feed, specifies returned fields (source, citation_uri, raw payload), and covers filtering by type and time. Distinguishes itself from sibling tools that likely handle different actions like listing subscriptions or searching.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly says polling works fine and provides an alternative REST endpoint for scripts/dashboards. Explains that setting mark_read:true affects subsequent calls, guiding appropriate usage patterns.

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

A3.5/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Several tools are near-duplicates (ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, ask_pipeworx_grounded), and there are overlapping clusters among the polymarket_* tools, research tools (deep_research, entity_profile, compare_entities, recent_changes), and AI-visibility tools (ai_visibility_check vs scan_competitor_ai_presence). The detailed descriptions help, but an agent selecting among these could easily pick the wrong one.

Naming Consistency2/5

Snake_case is used consistently, but the naming pattern is otherwise mixed: some tools are verb_noun (validate_claim, suggest_questions), some are bare nouns (entity_profile, polymarket_edges), some are verbs without objects (remember, forget, ask_pipeworx), and only the five QuickBooks tools share a qb_ prefix. This creates multiple naming ecosystems with no unified convention.

Tool Count2/5

At 36 tools, this is well above the 25+ threshold for 'too many'. More importantly, the server is named Quickbooks but only 5 tools are accounting-related; the other 31 are unrelated Pipeworx data, prediction-market, memory, and meta tools, making the count both excessive and off-purpose.

Completeness2/5

For the QuickBooks domain named by the server, the surface is read-only: get customer, get invoice, list accounts, list invoices, and generic query. There are no create, update, delete, payment, bill, deposit, or report operations, which is a significant gap. For the broader Pipeworx data domain it is fairly complete, but that domain is not what the server name promises.
