```


## Only reads (2)

Looks things up and changes nothing. Claude Code: allow.

### `search_news`

- The name "search_news" says "search": a word for reading.
- Findings: info long-description

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search news articles using APITube News API with comprehensive filtering.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR QUERY CONSTRUCTION:
1. DO NOT use dots in parameter names directly in the root object. Use nested objects instead.
2. The system will automatically convert nested objects to dot notation for the API.
   Example: Use { language: { code: "en" } } instead of { "language.code": "en" }.
3. For multiple values in one parameter, use COMMA separation (e.g., "en,ru,fr" for multiple languages).
4. Integer filters (has_*, is_*) accept ONLY 0 or 1 (e.g., has_image=1, is_duplicate=0).
5. Date format: ISO 8601 (YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ).
6. Sentiment scores range: -1.0 (negative) to 1.0 (positive).
7. Default sorting: published_at DESC (newest first).
8. Unknown parameters are rejected with an error (-32602) instead of being silently ignored — check the
   spelling against the list below.
9. By default the response returns id, title, href, published_at, description and source.domain.
   The article body is NOT included — request it explicitly with fl (e.g. fl: "title,href,body").

AVAILABLE PARAMETERS:

### Content Search
- title: Search by article title (supports up to 3 keywords with comma separation)
  IMPORTANT: a title search covers at most a 31-day published_at window. Omit the dates and the
  last 31 days are searched; pass a range wider than 31 days and the call fails with 400 ER0110.
  To cover a longer period, make one call per month-sized window.

### `suggest`

- The description's first verb is "resolve": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Resolve a name or prefix to APITube taxonomy IDs so you can use them in the `search_news` tool's filters.

The `search_news` tool's most precise filters require IDs you cannot guess:
- entity.id   — numeric (persons, organizations, locations, brands, events...)
- category.id — IPTC slug, e.g. "medtop:04000000"
- topic.id    — slug
- industry.id — numeric

Use this tool FIRST to look those IDs up, then pass them into `search_news`.

USAGE:
- type: which taxonomy to autocomplete — one of "entities", "categories", "topics", "industries".
- prefix: the name (or its beginning) to search, e.g. "Tesla", "Elon", "spo".

Returns an array of matches; take the `id` of the best match and put it into `search_news`:
  suggest({ type: "entities", prefix: "Tesla" }) → [{ id: 12345, name: "Tesla, Inc.", ... }]
  search_news({ entity: { id: "12345" } })
```
