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. - 2026-09-26 `search_news` changed (inputSchema) - 2026-09-26 `check_coverage` removed - Check whether a news domain is in the typesearch index (pass domain), or get the index coverage: how many sources and articles, by country and by language.
