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 (1)

search_news Search current news for a specific reader. Covers technology, AI, business, policy, and media and entertainment (about 500 curated sources, not all news). Returns one list of stories, best match first: events, each grouped across the outlets covering it, with every article (publisher, date, link), the lead article's excerpt, the names in it, and which of your terms it matches and how well (0 to 1). Then Polymath reports, with title, insight and link. Put topics in "interests": 3 to 8 specific topics, named the way a news desk would ("AI regulation", "data centers"). The name of a person or a company works as an interest too ("Nvidia"). Each interest gets its fair share of the list, and the reply says what each one found, including nothing. "query" is for keywords. "profile" says who you work for: it tailors reports and rarely selects stories by itself. "since" returns only what is new or updated after a time; every reply gives next_since, the value to pass next time. With no arguments it returns the top stories right now. No API key was sent, so this is a trial: 1 searches a day, up to 3 stories per search, report titles and links only.

Schemas: list_tools.
