What this server can do
7 functions, named and described by the server itself. Parameter names are shown because they say more about what a function does than its name usually does.
get_current_affairs(days, limit, topic, category, gs_paper, language)- Daily UPSC-relevant news distilled into NewsPulse concept cards: what happened, why it matters for Prelims/Mains, and the syllabus concepts it illustrates. Use for any 'current affairs for UPSC' request.
get_news_card_detail(slug, language)- The full concept card behind a NewsPulse headline: bullets, Prelims & Mains relevance, concept explainers with static-syllabus links, and the source citation. Required: slug.
get_pyq_sample(year, language)- Real UPSC Prelims previous-year questions with answers and explanations — the free 3-question sample per year (full year papers are on the platform). Includes the year's total validated PYQ count. Required: year.
list_study_topics- The catalog behind the other tools: indexed subjects/topics (for search_sambodh_knowledge and quiz subject filters), available PYQ years, published current-affairs month slugs, and NewsPulse GS-paper values. Call this first when unsure which parameter values are valid.
search_sambodh_knowledge(query, top_k, subject)- Semantic search over Sambodh's indexed UPSC corpus (NCERTs + standard references). Returns source-attributed passages — synthesize your answer from them and cite the sources. Use for static-syllabus questions (history, polity, geography, economy...). Required: query.
start_practice_quiz(year, month, source, subject, language, num_questions)- Start an MCQ quiz from Sambodh's validated free question bank. IMPORTANT: never reveal or hint at correct answers before the user has attempted the questions; grade via submit_quiz_answers.
submit_quiz_answers(answers, quiz_id)- Grade a quiz attempt server-side. Returns per-question verdicts with explanations and the overall score. Call once the user has answered (fully or partially). Required: quiz_id, answers.

Signals
These are separate measurements of different things. They are deliberately not combined into one score, because a popularity number that mixes website traffic with saves and stars cannot be checked or acted on.
