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.

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Adds substantial behavioral detail beyond annotations (readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false). Discloses that it reads snapshots, computes time-series, provides trend/decay metrics, notes snapshot gaps, 60-day TTL bound, and that decay is based on daily closes, not intraday. 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?

Front-loaded with key question, then details response structure, then limits. Well-organized but somewhat verbose; every sentence earns its place. Could be slightly tightened, but overall efficient.

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 two optional parameters, no output schema, and rich annotations, the description thoroughly explains the response format (tracked[], expired[], snapshot_dates[]) and their fields, plus limitations (TTL, snapshot gaps). Very complete for the tool's 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% (both parameters described in schema). Description adds value by clarifying defaults (14 days, 1wk), clamp range (2-30), and window choices, thus providing meaning beyond the schema. However, the schema already covers the basics, so the added value is moderate.

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 it provides edge persistence and decay telemetry from daily snapshots. Answers a specific question about how long an edge has existed and whether it is shrinking. Distinguishes from sibling tool polymarket_edges by focusing on time-series analysis rather than just snapshot data.

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?

Explains when to use: to understand edge longevity, with example contrasting a fresh edge vs. a 3-week-old edge. Provides context but does not explicitly state when not to use or suggest alternative tools, though the context is sufficient 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.

A3.7/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Many tools occupy heavily overlapping territory: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research, bet_research, validate_claim, and even entity_profile/compare_entities all route questions to similar underlying data and could easily be misselected. The Polymarket suite adds another cluster of near-synonymous tools. Descriptions are detailed, but the boundaries require careful reading to keep straight.

Naming Consistency2/5

Tool names mix imperative verbs (remember, subscribe, resolve_entity, validate_claim), noun-phrase descriptors (entity_profile, recent_changes, polymarket_edges), and time-utility names (now, from_timestamp, to_timestamp, relative_time). All-lowercase snake_case is consistent, but there is no unified verb_noun or domain-prefix pattern across the set.

Tool Count2/5

35 tools is heavy and exceeds the comfortable 3-15 range, and most of them are unrelated to the server name 'Timestamp,' which adds confusion. The broad Pipeworx data scope justifies more than a tiny utility server, but the count still feels overstuffed and will burden tool selection.

Completeness3/5

For the broad data-research and prediction-market domain the set actually covers, the lifecycle is fairly complete: query, deep research, entity profiles, comparisons, claim validation, subscription management, and memory storage all have working operations. However, the surface is sprawling and includes one-off tools like generate_llms_txt and scan_dependency that do not fit any coherent domain, making completeness hard to assess and leaving a fuzzy, fragmented impression.
