An agent can connect on its own if it already holds typesearch_api_key.Remote endpoint behind a static API key or header. The registry never sees the value; the agent fills the placeholder.

  • create_chartadded

    Turn a question into a chart card, without thinking about chart types: the standings of the latest race, poll or election results by candidate, wins in a season, coverage over time, share of voice between names, tone, the outlets that cover a topic most, what an outlet published, a timeline of a story, the figures the articles publish (a price, a rate), or data from a custom index. It works out what the user expects (`understood`, with other readings to pass as `interpretation`), verifies every value against its source, picks the chart, the key figures and a title that states the finding, and returns an image URL (show it to the user) and an embed URL. If the exact data is not published it shows the closest thing and says so (`rung`, warnings). It costs its search (the mode it needs, per query) plus US$0.50 per 1,000 charts; the same request within 10 minutes is free.

It costs its search (the mode it needs, per query) plus US$0.50 per 1,000 charts; the same request within 10 minutes is free.
find_similarread-onlyFind other news articles about the same story as a given article URL, across the index (the last 7 days by default). Useful to see how other outlets covered a story. US$2.20 per 1,000 calls.
get_contentsread-onlyGet the title, standfirst, date, source and a short verbatim excerpt (up to 25 words) of up to 10 news article URLs. With a query, the excerpt is the one about it and relevance says how much the article covers it. Never returns the full text. US$0.20 per 1,000 pages read (US$0.40 with a query); pages that fail are free.
search_newsread-onlySearch recent news on any topic across a curated index of news outlets worldwide, judged by a relevance model. Returns the matching articles: title, link, source, date, country and language, standfirst, and short excerpts in the modes that read. Use it for current events and for what outlets reported about a company, person, place or topic. Defaults: mode "fast" (US$1.40 per 1,000 searches) and the last 7 days; mode "ultra" judges headlines only, for US$1.00.
