Manage Alerts

Manage alerts

Let the user manage their own AlphaAI ticker news-alert subscriptions from the chat. Identity comes from the OAuth login — these tools act on the caller's own account.

Tier-gated. alphai_alerts_* require a Basic or Pro plan. On the Free tier they return tier_not_paid — relay that and point to https://alphai.io/pricing instead of retrying.

Steps

1. Show current state first. For any add/remove, call alphai_alerts_list() up front so you (and the user) can see existing subscriptions, the per-alert filters, and the tier limit (current / limit).
2. Subscribe / update. alphai_alerts_subscribe(ticker, category_filter?, min_relevance_score?).
   • This is a partial update: omitting a field on an existing subscription preserves its current value. A brand-new subscription defaults min_relevance_score to 6.
   • category_filter is an optional whitelist from the 14 categories (e.g. ["earnings", "insider"]) — only those categories trigger the alert.
   • Confirm the ticker is real first if unsure (alphai_tickers); the tool raises unknown_ticker / limit_reached otherwise.
3. Unsubscribe. alphai_alerts_unsubscribe(ticker) — idempotent; returns {removed: false} if it was already inactive.

Output

• After a change, restate the resulting subscription in one line: ticker, which categories trigger it, and the minimum relevance — so the user sees exactly what they'll be alerted on.
• For a list request, render the subscriptions as a short table (ticker · categories · min relevance · delivery mode) and note current/limit.

Guardrails

• Confirm before mutating. Read back what you're about to subscribe to or remove before calling the write tool, especially for bulk changes.
• Handle errors plainly: tier_not_paid → suggest upgrading; limit_reached → list current alerts so the user can free a slot; unknown_ticker → don't guess a substitute.
• Never subscribe to tickers the user didn't ask for.
