news.pollar/pollar-news

search_news

Searches Pollar's news archive using semantic and keyword matching. Use for any subject-specific query, including a person, organisation, place, or country (for example, interesting news in Poland). Put the subject or place in query. Locale controls response language, not geographic scope. For current headlines with no subject or place, use list_top_news.

list_top_news

Lists Pollar's current leading news events, ranked by freshness and editorial momentum. Use for broad requests for current headlines with no named subject, place, or country. For a subject or geographic request, use search_news instead. Optionally filters by a taxonomy dot-path such as 'world.politics'; call list_categories first when the category is unknown.

get_event

Fetches the full Pollar coverage of a single event by its slug (get slugs from search_news or list_top_news). Returns title, lead, full summary, source citations, mentioned people, locations, charts, and a canonical pollar.news url to cite.

get_daily_brief

Fetches today's fixed, curated Pollar daily brief with a greeting, headline, executive summary, themed sections, related events, and charts. Use only when the user explicitly asks for Pollar's daily brief or curated digest. Do not use it for questions about a subject, person, place, or country; use search_news instead. Locale changes the brief's language, not its editorial scope.

list_threads

Lists Pollar's active evergreen threads: ongoing storylines tracked over time and grouped by section, with the latest change magnitude. Use to discover long-running topics. Pass a returned id to get_thread for detail.

get_thread

Fetches a single Pollar thread by slug (from list_threads): its thesis, current state-of-play, and recent chronicle entries with citations. Set withHistory=true to also include how the thesis evolved over time. Returns the thread detail with a canonical url.

get_entity

Fetches Pollar's profile for a person or organisation by slug. Set withTimeline to include recent events that mention the subject. Returns the profile and a canonical Pollar URL.

get_markets

Returns market data tracked by Pollar, including European and global indices, currencies, crypto, commodities, and bonds. With no arguments, returns the quote catalogue. Pass an exact catalogue symbol for detail and an optional range for history.

list_live_moments

Lists Pollar's live and recently ended breaking-news moments. Use to discover what is breaking now or what ended within the past 24 hours. Each moment carries story metadata (storyId, chapterIndex) when it belongs to a multi-chapter story — chapters of the same continuing narrative are returned in chapter order. Pass a returned id to get_live_moment for the current snapshot.

list_live_stories

Lists Pollar's active and developing breaking-news stories. Each story has an umbrella title and one or more chapters ordered by chapter index. Use this when you want to surface the narrative arc — e.g. 'this strike has had three chapters over 48 hours' — rather than each moment in isolation. Pass a returned story id to get_live_moment for the current snapshot (it accepts both story ids and individual moment ids).

get_live_moment

Fetches the current snapshot of a breaking-news moment by id, including ordered updates and a source summary. Accepts either a moment id or a story id; story ids resolve to the latest chapter of that story. This is a point-in-time read rather than a stream. Wait at least 30 seconds before refreshing.

get_live_story

Fetches the current snapshot of a story by id, including its title, status (active/developing/concluded/dormant) and ordered chapters. Use this when you want the multi-chapter arc, not the latest chapter alone. For a single chapter, use get_live_moment.

list_categories

Returns Pollar's category taxonomy with mention counts. Use it to discover valid category dot-paths before filtering list_top_news. Takes no arguments.

No parameters.

search

Searches Pollar's published news and returns a ranked list of matching articles as {id, title, url}. Use for queries about a subject, person, organisation, place, or country; put that subject or place in query. Locale controls response language, not geographic scope. Pass an id to fetch to read the article.

fetch

Fetches the full text of one Pollar article by the id returned from the search tool. Returns {id, title, text, url, metadata} with the article's summary and source citations.

render_news_list

Renders selected stories already returned by search_news, list_top_news, or search. Call one of those tools first, then pass up to 10 relevant results without changing their titles or canonical URLs.
