## Tools (16)

- `compare_locations`: Compare news coverage between 2–4 African countries or regions side by side.
- `detect_surge`: Detect sudden spikes in news coverage — compares last 24h against 7-day baseline. Surfaces unusual increases like crime up 5× in Bulawayo or a football surge in Ghana.
- `drain_enrichment_backlog`: Drain the ENTIRE un-enriched article backlog, not just one batch. RESTRICTED to platform-team accounts (WorkOS bearer issued inside the platform-team org). Fire-and-forget: asks the pipeline worker to enrich un-enriched articles in batches (oldest first) until the backlog is clear, running independently of the automatic 10-minute sweep. Returns immediately; use trigger_enrichment for a single targeted batch instead.
- `find_stories`: Search articles by keyword, tag, category, or country. Results carry short excerpts, word counts, and app links only — call get_article with a result's id to read the full article body inline.
- `get_article`: Read a single article by ID or slug. Returns the full article body inline as markdown (truncated at ~8000 characters with a link to continue in the app) plus source metadata and the Mukoko app URL. Use this after a list tool (get_briefing, find_stories, …) to read an article without leaving the conversation.
- `get_briefing`: Answer "What's happening in [place/topic]?" — top story, recent articles, and trending topics in one call. Accepts country codes (ZW, KE), region names (East Africa, Southern Africa), category topics (politics, business), or omit focus for a pan-African overview. Returns short excerpts with word counts and app links only — call get_article with an article id to read a full article body inline.
- `get_content_analytics`: Open data breakdown of news coverage by category, country, and keyword for a given period.
- `get_location_news`: News from a specific place in Africa. Accepts country codes, country names, region names, or city names.
- `get_my_feed`: Personalised news feed based on the authenticated user's article likes and saves. Requires Authorization: Bearer <WorkOS access token>.
- `get_source_view`: See how a specific news source is covering a topic.
- `get_stats`: Platform statistics: total articles, active sources, and today's output.
- `get_trending_analytics`: Open analytics: trending topics, categories, keywords, and sources for any location or period. Part of Mukoko's open data policy.
- `list_categories`: List all news categories with article counts.
- `list_sources`: List active news sources. Optionally filter by country code.
- `track_story`: Follow the development of a news story over time. Returns articles in chronological order showing how a story evolved. Use since to control the lookback window.
- `trigger_enrichment`: Manually run the AI enrichment agent over existing articles (classification, keywords, entities, quality scoring). RESTRICTED to platform-team accounts — requires a WorkOS bearer token issued inside the platform-team org. By default enriches the most recent un-enriched articles; pass article_ids to target specific ones, or reset_attempts to re-run articles that previously hit the failure cap.
