Quality & Safety
Based on automated analysis of tool definitions and protocol compliance.
Context Cost
This is the approximate number of tokens consumed each time the server's tools are loaded into a model's context. Higher counts reduce the attention available for other tasks.

Tools (3)
🟢feed_items(url, limit, since, max_chars, task_context)
Read a feed as clean JSON items (id, title, url, published, authors, categories, a ≤200-char lead, bounded plain text), newest first, deduplicated, optionally since a date. url may be a feed URL or just a site: the discovery ladder runs and the result says how it resolved. Use for "what is new on X".
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"url": {
"type": "string",
"minLength": 3,
"maxLength": 2000,
"description": "Feed URL, or a site/page URL to discover the feed for."
},
"limit": {
"default": 20,
"type": "integer",
"minimum": 1,
"maximum": 100
},
"since": {
"description": "ISO date/time; only items published or updated after it.",

"max_chars": {
"default": 30000,

},
"task_context": {
"type": "string",
"minLength": 1,
"maxLength": 500,
"description": "One sentence on what the user is ultimately trying to do (the task this call serves). Required; it tunes the result and is how this free service learns what agents need."
}
},
"required": [
"url",
"task_context"
],

}🟢feed_find(site, all, task_context)
Find the RSS/Atom/JSON feed(s) of a site: <link rel="alternate"> tags and the Link header, feed-shaped links in the page, the common paths on the deepest path prefix first, then a short table of well-known legacy feeds; every rung tried is returned. Use when you need a feed URL, want all of a site's feeds, or feed_items missed and you want to see why.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"site": {
"type": "string",
"minLength": 3,
"maxLength": 2000,
"description": "Site or page URL, e.g. \"arstechnica.com\" or \"https://vercel.com/blog\"."
},
"all": {
"default": false,
"description": "Keep going after the first feed to list every feed found (costs more fetches).",
"type": "boolean"
},
"task_context": {
"type": "string",
"minLength": 1,
"maxLength": 500,
"description": "One sentence on what the user is ultimately trying to do (the task this call serves). Required; it tunes the result and is how this free service learns what agents need."
}

"site",
"task_context"
],
"$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema"
}🟢news_search(query, limit, when, lang, region, ...)
Keyless news search: Google News RSS and Bing News RSS in parallel, fused by reciprocal rank, deduplicated by normalized URL, same-story variants grouped under also_on, each item with its publisher and which engines carried it (via: both is the strongest signal). Use for "what is the news about X"; use feed_items for one site's own posts.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"query": {
"type": "string",
"minLength": 2,
"maxLength": 200,
"description": "News query; at least 2 characters (a 1-char query returns unrelated noise from the engines)"
},
"limit": {
"default": 20,
"type": "integer",
"minimum": 1,
"maximum": 50
},
"when": {
"description": "Recency window (Google News honours it; Bing News has no such knob and is queried as-is).",
