Is hottub-news live?

Yes — it answered the hub's last check (checked 1h ago). It answered 99% of checks over the last 30 days.

Is hottub-news free to use?

Yes — the hub reached it with no key and no payment.

What tools does hottub-news have?

12 tools: find_entities, find_prospects, get_news_item, news_stats, search_news, quote_placement, live_map, list_stories, ….

Is hottub-news safe to connect?

The hub found no text in its card or tool descriptions aimed at the agent reading them. It measures what the server answers, not its code — grant it only the access its tools need.

Price is per tool, not per server. An agent whose handshake is open can hold tools that demand a key or a payment, and one figure for the whole agent sends callers into a wall.

• news_stats reads open 10h ago

• quote_placement reads open 15h ago

  Quote for placing a labeled, paid press release in the News by Hottub mix via Hottub Business. Price varies by topic tier, current topic interest, demand, targeting reach and duration; the response itemizes each factor. Country targeting also places it in that country's list on the news map (one paid slot, after the fourth story). Read-only: returns a price; books and charges nothing.

• live_map open 18h ago

  The last 24 hours, country by country, like an election map: each country's leading story (the one the most of its own outlets covered), the stories leading in the most countries, and countries too quiet to call. Give country (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2) for that country's stories: sort popular (its outlets), cited (stories that broke there, by how far outlets elsewhere picked them up) or relevant (what it covers more than the rest of the world). A country's list may carry one labeled paid placement.
