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.

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations indicate a write operation (readOnlyHint=false), and the description adds critical transparency: account requirements, delivery constraints (phone verification, SMS cap), webhook auto-disable after 10 failures, and the fact that anonymous/BYO cannot persist subscriptions. No contradictions 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 and front-loaded with the purpose, then types, then channels. It is slightly lengthy but every sentence adds value (details on types, constraints, verification). Could be trimmed slightly but remains effective.

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 no output schema, the description covers the return value ('Returns the new subscription id'), constraints for each parameter, and edge cases like webhook auto-disable. It fully addresses the complexity of 3 params, nested objects, and multiple subscription types.

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%, and the description significantly adds meaning beyond the schema by detailing type-specific param structures, delivery channel formats (E.164 for SMS, email validation, webhook HMAC signing), and required fields like sponsor or condition for clinical_trial.

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 verb ('Create'), resource ('proactive monitoring subscription'), and scope ('live-data event stream'). It distinguishes from sibling tools like list_subscriptions, unsubscribe, and recent_alerts by specifying the subscription creation purpose and requiring a Pipeworx OAuth account.

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 on when to use: requires a Pipeworx OAuth account, lists supported types with parameter examples, and explains delivery channels. However, it does not explicitly mention when not to use or compare to alternatives like list_subscriptions or unsubscribe, which would improve guidance.

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

A3.8/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Multiple tools occupy the same natural-language lookup niche: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research, and validate_claim all answer factual questions, and the beta tool is currently described as identical to the stable router. Prediction-market edge detection also fans out across bet_research, polymarket_edges, polymarket_arbitrage, polymarket_edge_tracker, and polymarket_fill_risk, so an agent can easily select the wrong one.

Naming Consistency4/5

Most names follow a predictable snake_case action-first pattern (ask_pipeworx, resolve_entity, subscribe, unsubscribe) with helpful domain prefixes for polymarket_*, realestate_*, and pipeworx_*. Minor deviations exist—entity_profile is noun-first, ask_pipeworx lacks an underscore, and remember/forget/recall are bare verbs—but they do not create real confusion.

Tool Count2/5

33 tools is well above the coherence sweet spot and the rubric's 25+ threshold. The count is inflated by auxiliary platform utilities (feedback, trending, memory, subscriptions, llms.txt generation, npm scanning) that are unrelated to the Realestate name and make the tool surface feel like a full platform rather than a focused MCP server.

Completeness2/5

For a server named Realestate, the surface is only minimally complete: realestate_municipalities and realestate_transactions cover Japanese transaction lookups, but there are no tools for property listings, property details, pricing estimates, or typical real-estate workflows. Even viewed as a broad data platform, the set is read-heavy with no create/update/delete operations beyond memories and subscriptions, leaving significant workflow gaps.
