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.

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive behavior, and the description adds substantial behavioral depth: snapshot gaps mean no scan occurred, history depth is bounded by a 60-day TTL, and decay is computed from daily closes net of slippage, not intraday. These caveats materially shape interpretation and are not disclosed in annotations or schema.

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?

The description is long but information-dense. It is front-loaded with the core purpose, then structured into Args, RESPONSE, and LIMITS sections. Every sentence contributes necessary context about response shape, data semantics, and caveats; there is no fluff or repetition.

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 no output schema, the description carries full responsibility for explaining return values. It thoroughly describes tracked[], expired[], and snapshot_dates[], including the meaning of trend, decay_pp_per_day, lifespan_days, and the significance of gaps. It also explains the data source and computation limitations, making it complete for a telemetry tool of this complexity.

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 coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds useful context by labelling 'window' as a snapshot family and clarifying that 'days' is the lookback across prior snapshots. It also ties the effective history depth to the 60-day TTL, which gives the parameter real-world bounds beyond the schema's clamp values.

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 identifies the tool as edge persistence and decay telemetry built from daily polymarket_edges snapshots. It states the exact question it answers ('how long has this edge existed and is it shrinking?') and differentiates from the sibling polymarket_edges by focusing on time-series analysis of historical snapshots.

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?

It provides strong contextual guidance by framing the tool's decision-relevant question ('a fresh wide edge and a 3-week-old wide edge are different trades') and explains what the response includes. It lacks explicit when-not-to-use or named alternatives, but the context makes intended usage clear.

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 have overlapping purposes: ask_pipeworx and ask_pipeworx_beta are currently identical, deep_research overlaps with ask_pipeworx, and discover_tools/suggest_questions both serve a discovery role. The extremely detailed descriptions help, but the boundaries between meta-tools and research tools are genuinely confusing, especially with 34 tools in one namespace.

Naming Consistency2/5

Naming is a mix of bare verbs (get, search, recall), nouns (affiliation, entity_profile, recent_changes), and verb_noun phrases (resolve_entity, compare_entities, validate_claim). Some families are consistent (polymarket_*), but overall there is no uniform convention or prefix scheme, making the set feel arbitrary.

Tool Count2/5

34 tools is well above the 25+ threshold for 'too many.' While the broad data-platform scope explains some of the count, many tools are meta-utilities (feedback, trending, memory, subscription management) and there are near-duplicate variants (three ask_pipeworx forms, six Polymarket tools) that inflate the surface.

Completeness4/5

For a data-research platform the surface is impressively complete: lookup, grounded verification, entity profiles, comparisons, claim checking, subscription lifecycle, memory, and tool discovery are all covered. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no direct general-purpose web fetch, and ROR lacks create/update, which is acceptable for a curated registry), but agents should rarely hit dead ends.
