What this server can do
8 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_briefing(date)- Geotone's daily global risk briefing for a date (YYYY-MM-DD): an analytical summary of coverage surges, tone shifts, and notable movers, with the statistics behind each claim. Required: date.
get_country(iso2)- Live media-coverage statistics for one country by ISO-3166 alpha-2 code (e.g. 'ua', 'cn'): 90-day daily series of coverage volume (share of world news coverage that is about that country) and tone, plus armed-conflict fatalities (UCDP, trailing 12 months), displacement stocks (UNHCR: IDPs, refugees, asylum seekers), and coverage origin (what share of coverage about the country is produced by its own outlets vs abroad). Required: iso2.
get_relation(a, b)- Bilateral co-coverage signal for a monitored country pair (e.g. a='cn', b='us'): how much the world's press mentions the two countries together, and in what tone. ~50 strategic pairs are monitored. Required: a, b.
get_story_chain(chain_id)- A story timeline: the threaded developments of one multi-day event chain, oldest first (e.g. attack → casualties confirmed → international reaction). Use the chain_id values returned by get_wire. Each development is a headline + link + outlet count + tone. Required: chain_id.
get_topic(slug)- Live media-coverage statistics for one geopolitical topic (e.g. 'ukraine-war', 'taiwan-strait', 'sanctions'): 90-day daily volume and tone series, z-score, week-over-week change, and a sample of recent articles (headline+link only). Use search_topics to find slugs. Required: slug.
get_trending- What's surging in global news right now: topics whose coverage is ≥2 standard deviations above their trailing average (z-score), the biggest week-over-week movers, and surging countries. Derived every 2 hours from GDELT across 65+ languages.
get_wire(limit)- The live wire: the world's most significant stories right now, ranked by a published formula (authority-weighted outlet breadth, boosted by consequence themes, coded events, and casualty figures, decayed by recency over 72h). Each story carries one representative link, outlet count, tone, countries, and a chain_id when it belongs to a multi-day story timeline (fetch with get_story_chain). Reclustered every 2 hours.
search_topics(query)- Search Geotone's tracked geopolitical topics by keyword (matches name, slug, and description). Returns slugs usable with get_topic, plus each topic's current coverage stats. Required: query.

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.
