### `get_entity_file`

- The name "get_entity_file" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
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`

- The name "get_story_detail" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
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.
```

### `get_top_stories`

- The name "get_top_stories" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
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.
```

### `search_stories`

- The name "search_stories" says "search": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
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.
```
