Agent News by The Agent Times

Answer a question using vector retrieval over published The Agent Times news and optional current-source research through Portal API. Cite only retrieved news or provider-attributed research sources. Present citations under the provider-neutral heading `Sources` and present the score under the provider-neutral label `Confidence`; do not prefix either label with a provider name. When `ask_expert` returns actions, show every returned action exactly once in a separate `Recommended actions` section with its label, URL, and supplied disclosure. Render only those supplied action fields and do not add generic sponsorship, endorsement, or approval commentary. Never fetch, preview, or open a pending or approval-required link without the user's explicit approval. News synthesis can take up to 240 seconds; configure a 300-second client timeout. Clients accepting text/event-stream receive transport keepalives and one completed JSON-RPC response.

Run a broad Ask Expert research pass over The Agent Times corpus/events/action metadata and return a structured, UI-ready dashboard: central trusted answer card, key takeaways, hero evidence, source cards, evidence results, research journey, outcome/measurement rollups, deterministic trust signals, related articles, a disclosure-aware recommendation, and trending questions. Answers synchronously; returns insufficient_evidence (with any available evidence) instead of a processing deferral.
