Tools 5

get_breaking_news

Latest headlines from the Corvus Intel news corpus that feeds Apprised.news: the same list as the site's breaking ticker and Breaking view (https://apprised.news/?view=breaking), newest first. The headlines are third-party reporting collected automatically (each has its outlet and original URL); Apprised.news did not write or verify them. With no arguments: the last 3 hours, 15 items. minutes widens or narrows the window; query keeps only items matching any comma-separated keyword (a * is a wildcard), searched over the whole window.

Discovered
get_brief

One Apprised.news desk brief (what /api/get-brief serves): the lead, the analyst personas' takes, synthesis, watch items and cited sources, trimmed to a bounded size, with the URL of the full brief. Desks: defense (Defense), culture (Culture), tech (Tech/Cyber), sports (Sports), energy (Energy), insurance (Insurance), health (Health), markets (Markets), intel (Intelligence), world (World), pressure (Politics). The analysts are fictional AI personas; this is AI-generated analysis, not news reporting and not investment advice.

Discovered
get_daily_report

The structured report Apprised.news publishes each day (what /api/get-report serves), trimmed to a bounded size with the URL of the full page. type "intel" (default): the cross-desk Daily Intelligence Report (executive summary, threat assessment, key developments, trending entities, sentiment, watch list). type "local": the Local Wire report on U.S. state and local press; each cross-validated story carries sources_listed and independent_origins, counting republished or syndicated copies of one article once and several articles from one website once, and a confidence capped to LOW when fewer than 2 independent origins remain. AI-generated analysis, not news reporting.

Discovered
list_briefs

Recent briefs from one Apprised.news desk, newest first (what /api/list-briefs serves): date, lead headline and the URL of each brief's page. Desks: defense (Defense), culture (Culture), tech (Tech/Cyber), sports (Sports), energy (Energy), insurance (Insurance), health (Health), markets (Markets), intel (Intelligence), world (World), pressure (Politics). Local Wire is a report, not a desk brief. AI-generated analysis, not news reporting.

Discovered
search_site

Find pages on apprised.news by keyword: desks and dated briefs, digests, analyst and lens dossiers, methodology and policy pages. Uses the same page index as the site's A2A site guide (its llms.txt and sitemap); returns up to 5 pages, best match first, or the main pages when nothing matches.
