Tool changes

No tool definition changes recorded. A server's first observation is its baseline; later probes record what changes.

Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed. How it is computed.

Tools (4)

`compare_coverage`	Side-by-side wording of one story as left, center and right outlets headline it, plus the words each side uses that the others do not. Give a topic in `q` and the best-covered matching story is compared. Each source carries a bias score from -2 (left) to +2 (right); 0 is center or non-political.
`get_blindspots`	Stories covered by only one side of the political spectrum — reported by left-leaning outlets but not right-leaning, or vice versa. Each source carries a bias score from -2 (left) to +2 (right); 0 is center or non-political. Useful for finding what a given audience is not being told.
`get_feed_health`	Which of the underlying news feeds answered on the last pull, and whether the data currently being served is complete or a stale fallback. Check this before treating an empty or one-sided result as real.
`get_news`	Current headlines from 17 feeds from 15 newsrooms across the political spectrum. Each source carries a bias score from -2 (left) to +2 (right); 0 is center or non-political. Use view=latest for a flat reverse-chronological feed, or view=stories to group the same event as covered by different outlets.
