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 (5)

`get_issue`read-only	One issue in full, as Markdown, with each of its stories' addresses on the Observatory's site and at the source.
`latest_issues`read-only	The Observatory's latest issues, newest first: title, date, the lead story, and the addresses of the issue's page and of its Markdown.
`list_publications`read-only	What the Observatory publishes, by product group: each publication, what it covers, its days and hour, and the feeds. Readers subscribe at the address given.
`search_book`read-only	Search the Book: every note the Observatory's desks have written since late September 2026, each a story read, checked and summarized from one or more sources, many of which never reached an issue. Returns the matching notes, best first: headline, summary, type, tags, desk, source, the original's address, the date, and the credibility label when the check gave one. Same query syntax as search_news.
`search_news`read-only	Search the stories in the Observatory's published issues (daily and weekly, the last year). Returns the matching stories, best first: headline, summary, source, the original's address, and the story's own address on the Observatory's site. The query takes web-search syntax: words, "a phrase", -word, or.

Schemas: list_tools.
