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.

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Adds significant behavioral details beyond annotations: requires OAuth, returns id, delivery channel behaviors (feed always on, email/sms/webhook specifics, webhook auto-disable, sms cap). 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?

Well-structured with front-loaded purpose, requirements, types, delivery. Each sentence adds value, but could be slightly more concise.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Covers return value, requirements, type-specific params, delivery channels. Missing error scenarios or duplicate behavior, but idempotent hint covers that. Mostly complete.

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 extensive examples and clarifies structure for each type and delivery channel, e.g., items array for sec_8k, webhook secret handling.

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 creates a proactive monitoring subscription, returns subscription id. Differentiates from sibling tools like list_subscriptions and unsubscribe. Provides examples of supported types.

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?

Specifies when to use (proactive monitoring), requirements (Pipeworx OAuth), and lists supported types with examples. Does not explicitly state when not to use, but context is 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 occupy nearly interchangeable roles: ask_pipeworx and ask_pipeworx_beta are explicitly identical, while ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research, and validate_claim all route similar factual queries. discover_tools/suggest_questions and bet_research/polymarket_edges similarly overlap, so an agent needs to read long descriptions to avoid misselection.

Naming Consistency3/5

All names are readable lowercase snake_case, but the conventions are mixed: imperative verb_noun names (list_subscriptions, validate_claim) sit alongside noun phrases (polymarket_edges, recent_alerts), bare verbs (forget, subscribe), and variant suffixes (ask_pipeworx_beta/grounded). It is not chaotic, but there is no single predictable naming pattern.

Tool Count2/5

Thirty-two tools is far more than the apparent Texas DMV scope supports: only tx_dmv_vehicle_registrations is DMV-related, and the rest are Pipeworx platform, prediction-market, memory, and unrelated utility tools. The count is excessive for the server's stated name and purpose.

Completeness1/5

The Texas DMV surface is severely incomplete: a single statewide registration-count tool covering fiscal years 2001-2021, with no title/registration transactions, VIN lookup, driver services, county/ZIP breakdowns, or current data. The tool's own description references a California DMV companion that is not present, leaving obvious gaps for any realistic DMV workflow.
