What this server can do

10 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_blind_spots(days, limit)
Coverage blind spots: companies, models, and people that regional press (Chinese/East-Asian, European, Latin-American) is covering while Western/global feeds are not — ranked, with per-region item counts. Answers "what is Western tech media missing right now?". Measured within Horizon's corpus: "invisible" means zero pickup in the Western feeds Horizon tracks, not a claim about all media.
get_china_signal(limit)
Shortcut for get_region_signal with region "china": the current China & East-Asia AI signal (Qwen, DeepSeek, Zhipu, Moonshot, ModelScope, and more) that Western feeds often miss — ranked by momentum. Prefer get_region_signal if you may query more than one region.
get_daily_briefing(date)
Today's aggregate AI industry briefing: top stories, emerging signals, new entrants, and regulation updates, distilled from HN/Reddit and official legislative sources. A curated once-daily synthesis — for raw item-level updates since your last check, use get_new_since instead. Optionally pass any past date (YYYY-MM-DD) — the full briefing archive is public.
get_new_since(limit, cursor)
Incremental poll: raw item-level AI news added since a cursor, oldest→newest, with a nextCursor for your next call — use this for "what's new since I last checked"; for the curated once-daily synthesis use get_daily_briefing. Omit cursor for the latest items plus a cursor to start polling from. Titles + links + topics (bodies and higher limits are on the paid tier).
get_region_signal(limit, region)
The current AI signal for a region (china, korea, japan, or eu) — recent, relevance-scored items on that region's models, labs, and analysis, ranked by momentum. Includes local-language press translated into English. The canonical regional tool; get_china_signal is a preset of this with region "china". Returns titles, sources, and links. Required: region.
get_regulation_updates(limit, jurisdiction)
Current AI legislation headlines across the US Congress, UK Parliament, and EU, with their legislative stage (proposed / committee / floor action / passed / implementation).
get_related(id, limit)
Semantic 'more like this': given an item id (from get_new_since, search_news, or the feed), returns the most similar recent items by embedding similarity. Titles, sources, similarity scores, links. Required: id.
get_topic_signal(limit, topic)
The current AI signal for a topic — recent, relevance-scored items tagged with that topic, ranked by momentum. Like get_region_signal but sliced by subject instead of geography. Required: topic.
list_sources
Describe what Horizon covers: ingestion sources with their source= filter values, the regional lenses (region= / dedicated tools), and how to filter. Call this to understand the corpus before querying.
search_news(query)
Quick teaser search over recent AI news: returns the top 3 matching titles with links. Full-text search with bodies, filters, and history requires a Horizon subscription. 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.
