    1 of 1 attempts returned a tool list in 30 days (100%). The bar is 99%. Need at least 30 samples.

  • Not measured
    Stable tool list

    Fewer than two successful probes in 30 days, so tool-list stability is not measured.

Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

  • Not measured
    Standard auth

    Auth is not required, so the OAuth metadata check does not apply.

    The website host matches the reverse-domain namespace.

  • Fail
    Source repo linked

    No repository URL is on file.

  • Not measured

Capabilities

Tools 6

get_article

Fetch one BedrockNews story by id. Returns the transformed article plus its full structured analysis (GRIN scores, extraction graph, key stats, trajectory, what-to-watch). Pass fields:'grin' to get just the analysis payload without the heavy body text. Story ids contain slashes (e.g. 'ledger/2026/apr/06/iran-war-math-doesnt-work') — pass them verbatim.

Discovered
get_extraction_graph

Return a story's extraction map as a real graph — nodes + edges data, not a picture. This is the load-bearing artifact for agents: re-render it in any style, or analyze who extracts value from whom. 'Not found' can mean the story has no graph (culture/research modes, or older transforms).

Discovered
get_related

Related BedrockNews stories for a given article — same section, ranked by editorial-mode match, plumb, source affinity, and recency.

Discovered
get_site_info

BedrockNews metadata: what the site is, how the GRIN/CLAIMS/NOVEL frameworks work, terms of use + attribution, and every machine-readable surface. Also returns the full capability map (every tool, prompt, and resource) — call this first.

Discovered
list_categories

The BedrockNews category taxonomy: ids (valid values for list_stories' category filter), display names, and which editorial framework each category runs (grin | culture | auto).

Discovered
list_stories

Discover BedrockNews stories with GRIN-aware filters. Filter by verdict ('extractive' | 'mixed' | 'generative'), plumb range (0-100 score), editorialMode ('grin' news/politics | 'culture' | 'research' | 'ledger'), category (see list_categories), date window (since/before, ISO 8601), or a title search (substring match on titles, not full text). Sorted newest first; paginated via cursor. Returns compact story briefs — use get_article for full analysis.
