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

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.

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

The description adds rich behavioral context beyond annotations: requires OAuth account, returns new subscription id, lists supported types with examples, and details delivery channels including SMS caps and webhook auto-disable. No contradiction with annotations.

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 with clear sections but is relatively long. Every sentence adds value, though some minor tightening could improve conciseness.

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?

Despite no output schema, the description explains the return value (subscription id) and covers all aspects: input parameters, requirements, use cases, delivery details, and limitations. It is fully complete for a creation tool with 3 parameters.

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 description adds significant value: explains type enum use cases (e.g., sec_8k items for officer changes), provides expanded params examples, and details delivery constraints (verification, caps, webhook signing). It meaningfully supplements the schema.

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 creates a proactive monitoring subscription to a live-data event stream, with specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like unsubscribe and list_subscriptions.

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 specifies when to use (creating subscriptions), required account type (Pipeworx OAuth), and provides examples for each subscription type. It does not explicitly state when not to use or name alternatives, but the context is clear.

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

While many tools target distinct resources, there is notable overlap between ask_pipeworx variants (ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, ask_pipeworx_grounded) and between discovery tools (discover_tools vs suggest_questions). The Polymarket prediction tools also have blurred boundaries (polymarket_edges, polymarket_edge_tracker, polymarket_arbitrage). This overlap can confuse an agent trying to select the right tool.

Naming Consistency4/5

Tool names consistently use snake_case and are mostly descriptive. However, naming patterns vary: some start with verbs (list_subscriptions, validate_claim), others with nouns (ask_pipeworx, bet_research). The memory tools use single-word imperatives (remember, recall, forget), which differ from the multi-word pattern. Overall, it's readable but not rigidly consistent.

Tool Count3/5

34 tools is on the high side for a single server, but the breadth of domains (data access, prediction markets, biotech, subscriptions) justifies the count. Some tools feel peripheral (gene_annotations, generate_llms_txt) and could be split off, making the set slightly bloated for the core purpose of business/financial data and prediction markets.

Completeness4/5

The tool surface covers a wide range of data sources (SEC, FDA, FRED, patents, news) and prediction market analysis comprehensively. However, there are minor gaps: no direct web search tool, no tool for fetching a specific SEC filing by accession (though ask_pipeworx may cover it). The set supports most core workflows without dead ends.
