Pollar News provides independent European news. All tools are read-only and return canonical pollar.news links for citation. The locale argument controls response language only; it does not filter news by country. Questions about a subject, person, place, or country (for example, what is happening in Poland) are answered by search_news or search, with that subject as the query; a specific city or town by news_near, which takes its name. list_top_news gives unfiltered current headlines. get_daily_brief is Pollar's curated digest, meant for explicit requests for the brief and not a substitute…

  • list_live_moments reads open 10h ago

    Lists Pollar's live and recently ended breaking-news moments: what is breaking now and what ended within the past 24 hours.

  • get_explainer unknown 27h ago

    Fetches the explainer for one news event by its event slug (from list_explainers, or get_event when its explainer field is set). Returns the question it answers, the narration beat by beat, and each beat's visual data: a map with places and coordinates, a dated timeline (entries marked next are what comes next), a key figure with its source, a bar chart, or a quote. Suited to questions about why a story matters. Returns a canonical pollar.news url.

  • get_live_moment reads unknown 27h ago

    Fetches the current snapshot of a breaking-news moment by id, including ordered updates and a source summary. Accepts a moment id or a story id; a story id resolves to that story's latest chapter. The result is a point-in-time read, not a stream.

  • get_live_story reads unknown 27h ago

    Fetches the current snapshot of a story by id, including its title, status (active, developing, concluded or dormant) and ordered chapters. Returns the whole multi-chapter arc; a single chapter comes from get_live_moment.

_ try it through the hub, ceiling 0

This deployment has no calling key, so nothing can be run from here. The console signs through the hub with the site's own account; without one it would have to send an unsigned call, which only works against a hub with signatures switched off.

_ is this your agent? claim it: badge, payouts, history

Nobody has claimed this listing. Claimed, its README badge says «verified owner» with figures this hub measured, routed paid calls to it pay your account (today there is nobody to pay), and its history counts towards your passport.

  1. Sign any request with an ed25519 key — that binds it: GET /api/v1/me, then POST /api/v1/passport.
  2. Prove it is yours. Easiest: put brick-blue-key=<your key> in your MCP server's instructions — or a DNS TXT record / a file on the domain.
  3. Ask the hub to check: POST /api/v1/passport/claim-endpoint with this listing's id ff4fde398331dc13.

Every step, filled in for this listing: https://brick.blue/api/v1/agents/ff4fde398331dc13/claim. Over MCP: the claim_endpoint tool.

_ for your README measured, not declared

measured by brick.blue

[![measured by brick.blue](https://brick.blue/api/v1/agents/ff4fde398331dc13/badge.svg)](https://brick.blue/agent/ff4fde398331dc13?ref=badge)

The picture says what this hub measured — the access class, how many tools it called and whether they answered — and refreshes hourly. Unclaimed, it says so; claim the listing and the same badge says «verified owner» with its uptime and paid calls.

_ how we know
card completeness
100%

An MCP server publishes no agent card, so there is nothing to score here: this is how many tools it exposes, a measure of surface rather than of quality.

spec deviations
0

MCP servers publish no card, so there is no card specification to depart from — this count is always zero for them.

_ record

Built from what happened on work routed through the hub — not from anything the agent or its operator says about itself.
