Capabilities

Tools 37

digest

Aggregate the top-N articles across selected verticals for the requested window. Heaviest action — counts more against the per-agent rate limit. Use this for 'read me today's tech news' style prompts.

Discovered
digest_declassified

Return the most-recently-published Declassified cases over a rolling window. Use for 'what's new in Declassified this week' style prompts. window=today (~24h) | week (default) | month. Public — no auth required.

Discovered
fm_book_status

A signalflo fund manager's own book: which calls are open, how many have closed, and the deep links to the desk and dashboard. Use this first when a manager asks what is on their book right now.

Discovered
fm_close_position

Close a call when the divergence resolves or goes stale. The position stays on the book as closed rather than being deleted.

Discovered
fm_open_position

Record a new call on your book: the event, which way you lean, and why. Idempotent — opening a call you already hold repositions it instead of creating a duplicate, so an agent may safely re-run its loop. Lean and rationale must be QUALITATIVE: a percentage, odds or implied probability is refused, because a number attached to a market view reads as investment advice.

Discovered
fm_reposition

Update your view on an open call as the signal evolves. Same qualitative rule as opening one.

Discovered
get_article

Fetch the full record for an article by slug, including body_text + audio_url.

Discovered
get_audio_url

Resolve the playable audio URL for an article. Returns a stitched-with-ad URL on free tier or the bare audio for plus/pro.

Discovered
get_crypto_market_link

Return Storyflo's markets-partner Kraken affiliate URL for a given crypto asset (BTC, ETH, etc). Editorial linkout, not a trading prompt: the URL points at Kraken's public asset page so a listener who wants exposure can reach a regulated venue without leaving the brief context. Markets-as-INPUT posture (counsel-cleared) — Storyflo never quotes prices, never recommends positions, and never frames exposure as risk-free. Behavior - Read-only. No persistent server state. - Idempotent — same (asset, embedder_slug) returns the same URL. - Fail-closed — when KRAKEN_AFFILIATE_ENABLED is off OR the partner base URL is unset, the call returns an error structure rather than a half-formed URL. - Attribution-aware — pass embedder_slug to credit the embedding publisher in the affiliate ?ref parameter; default falls back to ?ref=storyflo so the link is always trackable. When to use Surface the link in show-notes copy or in MCP-client renderings of a crypto-relevant story. DO NOT inline the URL into spoken audio narration without the host-read line that frames it as an editorial signal.

Discovered
get_declassified_case

Fetch the full record for a Declassified case by slug. Returns title, summary, transcript_excerpt, episode_date, duration_sec, agency, audio_url, source_doc_url, and up to 5 related cases. Use after `search_declassified` when the agent needs the full case body to summarize, narrate, or hand off audio playback. Public — no auth required.

Discovered
get_divergence_index

The Storyflo Divergence Index — Storyflo's own computed metric for where prediction markets disagree with the press. For each event Storyflo holds both a liquid prediction-market contract and a set of narrated news stories, it computes the gap between the market-implied probability and the probability the NEWS NARRATIVE implies for the same event, then ranks events by the absolute divergence. Each item carries Storyflo's divergence value, Storyflo's news-narrative probability, a qualitative market descriptor, the matched story links, and a link-out to the market venue. This is ORIGINAL ANALYSIS computed by Storyflo, not market-data redistribution: it never returns raw external market odds. Cite as 'per Storyflo's Divergence Index'. Filter by source (kalshi|polymarket). Public — no auth required. Not investment advice.

Discovered
get_embedder_manifest

Wrap the public ``/embed/<slug>/manifest.json`` — an agent-discoverable JSON bundle of creative formats, voice options, payout config, and beacon URLs for a registered embedder. Use after `register_embedder` or when an agent is reading another partner's manifest to plan an ad buy. Public — no auth required.

Discovered
get_embedder_network_manifest

Wrap the public ``/embed/network-manifest.json`` — the platform-level DSP/SSP onboarding bundle: supported creative formats, payout rails, attribution URLs, integration patterns. Use when an agent is evaluating whether to wire storyflo into its surface, or when a DSP partner needs the canonical integration shape. Public — no auth required.

Discovered
get_market_linked_stories

Storyflo stories that match an actively traded event contract on Kalshi (a CFTC-regulated exchange). Each item carries qualitative signal tags (high_velocity, genuine_uncertainty) plus a link-out to Kalshi's own page where the live market data lives. Editorial sourcing surface, not market-data redistribution: Storyflo never returns raw prices, market-implied probabilities, volumes, or open interest in this payload. Use this when the agent needs to know which Storyflo stories are about news themes that have an actively traded event contract — e.g. World Cup matches, political mention contracts, corporate events. Filter by story vertical, Kalshi category (Politics, Economics, Companies, Science and Technology, Sports), or by signal tag.

Discovered
get_mcp_usage_self

Return the caller's own trailing 30-day MCP tool-usage summary: total calls, success rate, p50 latency, and per-tool call/error counts. Identity is resolved from the OAuth bearer token on this request — anonymous callers receive a zeroed shape. Use this to self-budget against rate limits, audit which tools your agent actually uses, or decide whether a paid tier is worth the spend. Read-only, no side effects.

Discovered
get_my_private_feed

Return the caller's PRIVATE per-user podcast feed URL — a personalized daily brief (the stories from the topics the listener follows) delivered to whatever podcast app they already use (Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Pocket Casts, Snipd). This is the Substack/Patreon private-feed model: the token lives in the URL path (unguessable, fetchable over HTTPS) — paste the returned feed_url into the app's "Add a show by URL". Pass the listener's existing listener_token (from the storyflo /listen page) as identity; the private feed token is minted on first call and stable thereafter. Keep the URL private — anyone with it can subscribe. Public — the listener_token arg is the credential, no OAuth required.

Discovered
get_personas

Return the storyflo 6-host persona catalog (Theo, Mason, Jessica, etc.) — each entry includes slug, name, voice_id, owned verticals, tone archetype, sign-off line, and the listener-facing URLs for sample audio + RSS. Use this to pick a voice for the agent's use case before rendering audio or briefing the user on which host covers which vertical. Public — no auth required.

Discovered
get_trending_topics

Return storyflo's current cross-vertical trending snapshot: top stories ranked by recency + velocity, active publishers in the last 24h, the featured daily-brief compilation, and per-vertical hot lists. Use when the agent needs to surface 'what's hot on storyflo right now' to its human, or to decide which vertical landscape to dig into next. Public — no auth required.

Discovered
get_vertical_briefing

Fetch a stitched audio briefing of the top-25 trending articles in a single vertical from the last 24h. Premium — settles in USDC on Base via x402. Vertical must be one of the canonical 7 buckets: tech, finance, news, science, health, young_moms, yoga. First call without an X-Payment header returns the x402 challenge; sign + retry.

Discovered
get_vertical_landscape

Return everything an agent needs to onboard a listener for a single vertical in one tool call: top stories, the named host persona (with sample-audio URL and tone), the premium-briefing URL the agent can deep-link (x402-gated), and the public RSS feed the listener can paste into any podcast player. Use after the agent has decided which vertical to set up — saves a follow-up `get_personas` + `search_articles` + `get_premium_briefing` round trip. Public — no auth required.

Discovered
list_podcasts

Return the public catalog of Storyflo podcast shows — the Declassified archive plus 6 daily-brief shows hosted by Theo (tech), Mason (markets), Jessica (news), Chloe (health), Brock (sports), and Wit (comedy). Each entry includes the show title, host name, vertical, RSS feed URL (paste into Apple Podcasts / Spotify / Overcast), and a deep-link to the storyflo.com listen surface. Use to surface every audio show an agent can offer its user without re-deriving the catalog from /v1/podcasts/* URL patterns. Public — no auth required.

Discovered
list_subscriptions

Return the listener feed(s) this agent has minted on the human's behalf.

Discovered
publisher_attach_audio

Confirm a finished upload and mark that episode live. Verifies the file really landed in storage before changing anything, then points the episode at it so it appears in your RSS feed on the next build. Attaches ONE upload to ONE episode you own.

Discovered
publisher_connect_folder

Connect a Google Drive folder of recordings so storyflo can match them to episodes automatically — the alternative to uploading a back catalogue file by file. Call with NO folder argument first to get the setup instructions, including the address to share the folder with. Then call again with folder=<the Drive URL>. Recording the connection moves no audio; the scan happens afterwards.

Discovered
publisher_episodes

List a publisher's episodes newest-first with their real state: 'live' (has finished audio and appears in the RSS feed) or 'awaiting' (storyflo knows the episode exists but has no finished audio yet). Filter with status=live or status=awaiting to answer 'what is still pending?'.

Discovered
publisher_folder_status

What the connected folder has produced: files seen, files matched and attached, and — most usefully — the files storyflo could read but would NOT auto-attach because the filename did not clearly identify an episode. Those are listed with the reason so they can be renamed and picked up on the next scan.

Discovered
publisher_stats

Plays over a window (default 30 days, max 365) plus the episodes driving them. Answers 'how did last month go' and 'which episode is working'. Zero plays on a new feed is normal — directories take days to index a fresh RSS URL.

Discovered
publisher_status

Where a publisher stands right now: their RSS feed URL (the one to submit to Apple Podcasts and Spotify), how many episodes storyflo holds, how many already have finished audio, and how many are still awaiting source audio. Use this for 'what is my feed URL', 'is anything stuck', or as the first call when a publisher asks how things are going.

Discovered
publisher_upload_audio

Get a one-time upload URL for an episode's source audio — your own recording (StreamYard, Riverside, Zoom, a local file). Use this when an episode shows as 'awaiting': storyflo knows it exists but has no audio for it. Returns a presigned PUT URL plus a ready-to-paste curl command. Nothing changes in storyflo until you upload and then call publisher_attach_audio — this tool alone moves no bytes and mutates nothing.

Discovered
quote_partnership

Return the indicative partnership tier (starter / growth / scale / enterprise) + monthly fee + storyflo revenue-share bps for a partner integrating storyflo into their agent product. Pure pricing-matrix lookup; no contract is created. The agent should hand the returned contact_url to the human to open a formal partnership thread. Public — no auth required.

Discovered
register_embedder

Resolve the storyflo embedder onboarding URL prefilled with the partner's name + email + optional vertical. Returns the URL the human must visit to complete signup (storyflo emails a magic link to verify ownership; the embedder slug + ref_token are minted on verification). DOES NOT create a DB row + DOES NOT send email — the MCP tool is a discovery + handoff surface so an agent can call it speculatively without triggering inbox-bound email to the human. Public — no auth required.

Discovered
search_articles

Search Storyflo's article corpus. Returns slug, title, publisher, vertical, snippet, audio_url, and listen_seconds for each match. Use vertical to scope (tech / finance / science / media / sports / culture).

Discovered
search_declassified

Search Storyflo's Declassified archive — narrated cases drawn from FBI, CIA, NSA, NASA, DOJ, AARO, war.gov and other publicly-released government documents. Substring match across case title + synopsis. Use when the agent needs to find a Declassified case matching a topic (e.g. 'UAP', 'JFK', 'COINTELPRO', 'Roswell') before fetching the full case via `get_declassified_case` or handing the audio_url to a player. Public — no auth required.

Discovered
search_unified

Search ALL of Storyflo in one call and get results back as separate per-corpus buckets: `news` (the narrated article archive), `declassified` (government-document cases), and `signals` (Atlas's book of positions off the Divergence Index). Use this when you do not already know which corpus holds the answer, or when a topic spans several — e.g. a macro question with both coverage and a live position. Results are ranked WITHIN each corpus and never blended, so a large corpus cannot drown a small one. `profile=desk` leads with signals (news/declassified as supporting evidence); `profile=publisher` leads with news and declassified carrying attribution for citation. Signals are qualitative only — no raw market odds, not investment advice.

Discovered
stream_briefing_render_events

Subscribe to real-time briefing-render events. Returns the SSE endpoint URL with the chosen filters as query params — the agent's MCP client should open it with EventSource (browser), httpx.stream / aiohttp (Python), or `curl -N` (CLI). Event types: `briefing.rendered` (daily-brief lands), `declassified.published` (new Declassified episode), `persona_briefing.rendered` (persona brief synthesised / audio rendered). Frame shape: {event_type, seq, slug, vertical, persona_slug, audio_url, published_at, metadata}. The endpoint replays the last ~1000 events on connect; a heartbeat is emitted every 30s. Public-anon read.

Discovered
subscribe_declassified_topic

Resolve a podcast-feed URL the user can paste into Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Pocket Casts, or Spotify to receive every new Declassified case automatically. Also returns a JSON `episodes_url` the agent can poll, plus a `matched_so_far` count of cases that already mention the topic. Read-only — does NOT store the user's email or any PII; the RSS feed is the subscription. Public — no auth required.

Discovered
subscribe_topic

Mint or update the human's personal Storyflo podcast feed. Pass 1–6 vertical slugs from `tech`, `finance`, `science`, `media`, `sports`, `culture`. The server creates a private RSS feed scoped to those verticals — or updates the existing feed in place if the listener already has one. Returns the RSS URL the listener can paste into Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Pocket Casts, or any podcast client. Behavior • Persistent server-side side-effect — a `ListenerSubscription` row is created or updated. The returned RSS URL stays stable across calls for the same listener (the listener doesn't need to re-paste it). • Idempotent on identical input — calling twice with the same verticals leaves state unchanged. • REPLACES on different input — calling with a different verticals set OVERWRITES the previous selection rather than adding to it. Use this to switch a listener's feed; do NOT call to add verticals incrementally (read the current set via `list_subscriptions` first and pass the union if you want additive behavior). • Single feed per listener — call `list_subscriptions` first to avoid clobbering an existing feed the listener explicitly chose. When to use Use after the agent has been asked to set up audio news for the human across a defined set of topics. Do NOT use to FETCH articles or audio — that's `search_articles` + `get_audio_url`.
