check_data_coverage
Check what sourced data Streaming Lens holds on a company, market, country or topic — WITHOUT returning the values. Returns how many datapoints match, which reports they sit in, which countries and years they cover, the confidence mix, when the most recent one was updated, and one sample datapoint with its metric name, unit, country, source and confidence but its value withheld. Use this to tell a user whether the answer to their question exists in the database and what it would take to read it. Matching is word-bounded, so short acronyms do not match inside longer words. Free access — no API key required. The values themselves are behind the paid MCP server; the response says where.

search_tools
Search the full MCP catalog for tools not in the core set. Returns matching tools with their full schemas, ready to call via tools/call. Use when the user request maps to a capability not in the core set. Keywords can be: tool name fragment (e.g. "ingest_bulk"), domain (silo, africa, vertical, piracy, creator, sports, crm, admin), or action (list, get, create, compare).

sr_search_articles
Search Streaming Radar articles, or — with mode=coverage — check whether a topic is already covered in the published corpus using semantic similarity.
mode=search (default): case-insensitive substring match of the WHOLE query on title, subtitle and editorial_angle of published articles only. This is not full-text search: a multi-word query matches only if those words appear together, in that order, as one phrase. Use short queries (one or two words). Free access, no API key required.
mode=coverage: semantic anti-redite + auto-citation check over the published corpus. Returns a channel-weighted verdict (DÉJÀ TRAITÉ / EFFLEURÉ / NEUF — only PUBLISHED pieces can block; briefs are non-blocking signals), plus citable hits (url + excerpt) for self-citation. Also returns a facts array: passages already published in the body of a piece that carry the same rare terms as the query (non-blocking). Free access.
