Input schema
{'type': 'object', 'properties': {'limit': {'type': 'integer', 'maximum': 50, 'minimum': 1}, 'since': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'ISO timestamp; only items published after this are returned.'}}}
asha_clusters_search
Search story clusters by topic. Returns grouped multi-source coverage.
Input schema
{'type': 'object', 'required': ['q'], 'properties': {'q': {'type': 'string'}, 'limit': {'type': 'integer', 'maximum': 50, 'minimum': 1}}}
asha_daily_brief
Server-rendered daily brief: categorized sections with publish time + age per item, Palestine desk leading. format=markdown for chat relay, html for a styled self-contained page, json for structured data. Relay as-is.
Input schema
{'type': 'object', 'properties': {'format': {'enum': ['markdown', 'html', 'json'], 'type': 'string', 'description': 'Default markdown.'}, 'per_section': {'type': 'integer', 'maximum': 10, 'minimum': 1}}}
asha_digest
Clustered public news digest. format=markdown returns prose; otherwise JSON clusters.
Input schema
{'type': 'object', 'properties': {'limit': {'type': 'integer', 'maximum': 50, 'minimum': 1}, 'format': {'enum': ['markdown', 'json'], 'type': 'string', 'description': 'Default markdown.'}}}
asha_editorial_guidelines
Asha News editorial voice contract: evidence-first, openly pro-Palestine, citations preserved. Read before generating derived briefs, titles, or social posts.
Input schema
{'type': 'object', 'properties': {}}
asha_feed
Latest source-backed news from the Asha News archive. Returns items with publish time, source, and citation links.
Input schema
{'type': 'object', 'properties': {'q': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'Keyword to search within recent coverage.'}, 'limit': {'type': 'integer', 'maximum': 100, 'minimum': 1, 'description': 'Max items (default 10).'}, 'category': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'Canonical category filter: world, politics, markets, tech, ai, science, health, sport, or entertainment.'}, 'timeframe': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'e.g. 24h, 72h.

asha_mint_share_link
Mint the stable asha.news/s/<code> short link for an article, generated brief, story cluster, or allowlisted route. Idempotent — the same target always returns the same code. Use this instead of pasting long URLs; the short link carries social preview metadata.
Input schema
{'type': 'object', 'required': ['target_type', 'target_id'], 'properties': {'target_id': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'Article/brief/cluster id, or an allowlisted site path for target_type=route.'}, 'target_type': {'enum': ['article', 'generated', 'cluster', 'route'], 'type': 'string', 'description': 'What is being shared.'}}}
asha_palestine
Palestine desk timeline (evidence-classed events) with a freshness indicator, plus the desk section map (Now / The Record / Israel Exposed wings with canonical page URLs).
Input schema
{'type': 'object', 'properties': {'limit': {'type': 'integer', 'maximum': 50, 'minimum': 1}, 'status': {'enum': ['verified', 'cross_verified', 'pending', 'leak'], 'type': 'string'}}}
asha_search
Unified search across Asha News articles, active story clusters, and published generated briefs. Use this before choosing a narrower endpoint.
Input schema
{'type': 'object', 'required': ['q'], 'properties': {'q': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'Search term, e.g. "palestine", "gold", "OpenAI".'}, 'limit': {'type': 'integer', 'maximum': 25, 'minimum': 1, 'description': 'Max mixed results (default 10).'}, 'types': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'Comma-separated result families: articles, stories, generated, or all.'}}}
asha_search_articles
Keyword search across recent Asha News articles. Cite source URLs and Asha article/story URLs when present.
Input schema
{'type': 'object', 'required': ['q'], 'properties': {'q': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'Search term, e.g. "palestine", "iran".'}, 'limit': {'type': 'integer', 'maximum': 100, 'minimum': 1, 'description': 'Max results (default 10).'}}}
asha_share_pack
Share-ready package for a published, cited Asha brief/story. Returns found=false when no final share pack is available.
Input schema
{'type': 'object', 'properties': {'q': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'Search query, slug, or generated-article id. Omit for latest published pack.'}, 'url': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'Exact asha.news /article/{slug}, /story/{id}, or /s/{key} URL; resolves to that content only (matched_by=url) or found=false — never a different article. Takes precedence over q.'}}}
asha_share_payload
Ready-to-post social share payloads for an article (x, bluesky, threads, mastodon, telegram, whatsapp, facebook, linkedin): text within platform limits, hashtags, image, and intent URL. Post verbatim; keep attribution.
Input schema
{'type': 'object', 'required': ['article_id'], 'properties': {'platform': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'Optional single platform filter, e.g. x or telegram.'}, 'article_id': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'Asha article id (from asha_feed / asha_search_articles results).'}}}
asha_sources
Asha News public source directory with provenance and trust metadata.
Input schema
{'type': 'object', 'properties': {'limit': {'type': 'integer', 'maximum': 500, 'minimum': 1}}}
asha_subscribe_newsletter
Start a DOUBLE OPT-IN newsletter signup for an email address. Asha emails a confirmation link; nothing is delivered until the person clicks it. Only submit an address the person gave you in this conversation, and tell them to check their inbox — you cannot confirm on their behalf.
Input schema
{'type': 'object', 'required': ['email'], 'properties': {'lang': {'enum': ['en', 'ar'], 'type': 'string', 'description': 'Issue language (default en).'}, 'email': {'type': 'string', 'description': "The subscriber's own email address."}, 'options': {'type': 'array', 'items': {'enum': ['daily', 'breaking', 'sunday'], 'type': 'string'}, 'description': 'Which sends to request. Default ["daily"].'}}}
conflict_events
Geolocated Conflict Monitor events (strike, explosion, intercept, movement, statement, thermal_confirmation) with severity, verification status, and EN/AR summaries. Filter with bbox=w,s,e,n; pass since={seq} for deltas.
Input schema
{'type': 'object', 'properties': {'bbox': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'Bounding box "w,s,e,n" (lon/lat degrees), e.g. 34,29,36,34.'}, 'limit': {'type': 'integer', 'maximum': 100, 'minimum': 1, 'description': 'Max events (default 50).'}, 'since': {'type': 'integer', 'description': 'Envelope sequence cursor for delta polls.'}}}
conflict_state
Live Middle East Conflict Monitor snapshot: official alerts, geolocated OSINT events, active story clusters, EN/AR theater brief, and per-tier freshness (degraded flag). Pass since={seq} for envelope deltas. Streaming clients can use SSE at https://asha.news/api/conflict/stream instead.
Input schema
{'type': 'object', 'properties': {'since': {'type': 'integer', 'description': 'Envelope sequence cursor; returns only envelopes with seq greater than this.'}}}
palestine_check_claim
Check one claim about Palestine against the desk's claim library and evidence archive. Returns the matched claim family, verdict, a short evidence-backed answer, and citation URLs. Rate-limited — send a single clear claim per call and relay the citations with the answer.
Input schema
{'type': 'object', 'required': ['claim'], 'properties': {'claim': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'The claim to check, as one plain-language sentence.'}}}
palestine_evidence_health
Operational state of the Palestine evidence pipeline: which sources are collecting and when they last succeeded, how deep the review queue is, how many records are actually published, and how reachable the external media pointers were at their last check. Aggregate counts only — it never names an unreviewed record. Use it to answer "is this archive current?" honestly before citing it, and read degraded_reasons rather than the status alone. A source with ingest_enabled:false is configured off, not broken.
Input schema
{'type': 'object', 'properties': {}}
palestine_evidence_record
One Palestine evidence record by its stable ref (e.g. gl-2810), with its assigned categories, editor-asserted incident links, related records, and ranked external media candidates carrying observed link health. Media candidates are third-party destinations — Asha never hosts them, and anything graphic or ungraded requires explicit consent before it loads. A ref that is not found may simply not have cleared editorial review; treat 404 as "not published", not as "does not exist".
Input schema
{'type': 'object', 'required': ['ref'], 'properties': {'ref': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'Stable public ref, e.g. gl-2810.'}}}
palestine_evidence_search
Search the Palestine evidence graph: reviewer-approved records with dates, places, assigned categories, and the source that documented each one. Returns facet counts (region, category, year, source, trust states) alongside results, so you can see the shape of the corpus before narrowing. Every record separates the upstream source's own wording (upstream.classification) from Asha's review (asha.finding) — quote the first with attribution, never relay it as an Asha finding. bot_can_cite is true only for editorially verified records; everything else is citable strictly as "this source says". Asha holds metadata and links only; media opens on the upstream record.
Input schema
{'type': 'object', 'properties': {'q': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'Free text over upstream titles, place names and Asha findings. Arabic and English both match.'}, 'to': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'Latest event date, YYYY-MM-DD.'}, 'from': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'Earliest event date, YYYY-MM-DD.'}, 'page': {'type': 'integer', 'minimum': 1}, 'region': {'enum': ['gaza', 'west_bank', 'jerusalem', 'israel', 'lebanon', 'syria', 'other', 'unknown'], 'type': 'string'}, 'source': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'Source slug, e.g. genocide-live.'}, 'category': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'Category slug from palestine_evidence_taxonomy, e.g. hospitals-health, airstrike, journalists.'}, 'page_size': {'type': 'integer', 'maximum': 100, 'minimum': 1}}}
palestine_evidence_taxonomy
The controlled vocabulary behind the Palestine evidence graph: incident_type (what happened), theme (what was hit), affected_group (who), and legal_category (what a named body says it amounts to). Call this before filtering so you use real slugs. legal_category terms are editorial-only — they are never derived from text, and record that a named authority made that characterization.
Input schema
{'type': 'object', 'properties': {'vocabulary': {'enum': ['incident_type', 'theme', 'affected_group', 'legal_category'], 'type': 'string'}}}
palestine_genocide_case
The full genocide-case record from the Asha News Palestine desk: what each court, UN body, rights organization, and study found — precisely characterized (provisional measures are not merits rulings; warrants are charges, not convictions) — plus attributed casualty figures, a case timeline, and an FAQ. Relay characterizations exactly and keep citation URLs.
Input schema
{'type': 'object', 'properties': {}}
palestine_search_archive
Search the Palestine evidence archive: 140,000+ upstream media records, the Killed in Gaza victims memorial, and the curated claim library. Results carry stable IDs and canonical URLs — cite those instead of scraping.
Input schema
{'type': 'object', 'required': ['q'], 'properties': {'q': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'Search term — Arabic or English both match (e.g. "Deir al-Balah", "مستشفى").'}, 'page': {'type': 'integer', 'minimum': 1, 'description': 'Page number (default 1).'}, 'type': {'enum': ['all', 'media', 'victims', 'claims'], 'type': 'string', 'description': 'Result family (default all).'}, 'page_size': {'type': 'integer', 'maximum': 50, 'minimum': 1, 'description': 'Results per family per page (default 10).'}}}
