Is SkimNews live?

Yes — it answered the hub's last check (checked 41m ago). It answered 100% of checks over the last 30 days.

Is SkimNews free to use?

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

What tools does SkimNews have?

4 tools: get_entity_file, get_story_detail, search_stories, get_top_stories.

Is SkimNews 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.

• get_top_stories open 41m ago

  Today's top SkimNews stories, optionally limited to one beat. Use this for "what's happening today" / "today's news" / "latest in <beat>" questions. Returns summaries plus canonical URLs per story. Categories: geopolitics, tech, finance, health, energy, sports, culture.

• get_entity_file unknown never probed

  SkimNews keeps a permanent dossier on every person, organisation, product, law, or place it has covered repeatedly. Returns the current 3-sentence status, 60-day mention/source counts, recent coverage, and related entities. Use for "what has SkimNews covered about X" and "what's the latest on X" where X is a trackable entity. Slug form, e.g. 'trump', 'openai', 'iran'.

• get_story_detail unknown 41m ago

  The full SkimNews treatment of one story: summary, why-it-matters, sourced bullet points, editorial take, named entities, the source taxonomy, and the canonical URL. Accepts an article id (e.g. '46b45d01'), a canonical skimnews.com URL, or an article slug. Use after get_top_stories or search_stories when a story needs detail or accurate citation.

• search_stories unknown 41m ago

  Semantically search SkimNews' archive of 47,000+ summarised stories by topic, theme, or news event, ranked by relevance. Use this to find coverage of a subject across SkimNews' history rather than only today. Returns summaries plus canonical URLs. An empty result list means SkimNews has not covered that topic — say so rather than substituting unrelated stories.
