- The name "reliefweb_get_country" says "get": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it Fetch a country profile from ReliefWeb by ISO3 code, including overview, humanitarian situation summary, key content links, active appeals and response plans, and useful external links. Country profiles are curated by OCHA editors and provide the authoritative situation summary for humanitarian responders. Each curated list also has an archive — thousands of entries deep for a long-running crisis — which the profile leaves out. Two alternative selectors, at most one per call: sections names parts of the profile to return, archive pages one list's archived entries in place of the profile. A profile over the response budget comes back as a section outline naming every section and its byte size. Nothing is truncated on any path.

reliefweb_get_disasterFetch a disaster record by ReliefWeb numeric ID including description, affected countries, GLIDE number, profile overview, key content links, and active appeals or response plans.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "reliefweb_get_disaster" says "get": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it Fetch a disaster record by ReliefWeb numeric ID including description, affected countries, GLIDE number, profile overview, key content links, and active appeals or response plans. Use after reliefweb_search_disasters to retrieve full details. Each curated list also has an archive, which the record leaves out. Two alternative selectors, at most one per call: sections names parts of the record to return, archive pages one list's archived entries in place of the record. Description and profile overview can together run to tens of KB for major disasters. A record over the response budget comes back as a section outline naming every section and its byte size. Nothing is truncated on any path.

Description, as the server wrote it Fetch a single ReliefWeb report by its numeric ID with full body text, file attachments, and all metadata. Use after reliefweb_search_reports to retrieve document content — body is excluded from search results to manage context budget. Report bodies can be 10–100KB. A record over the response budget comes back as a section outline naming every section and its byte size; re-call with sections to pull only the ones needed. Nothing is truncated on either path.

reliefweb_search_disastersSearch active and historical disasters on ReliefWeb by type, country, status, date range, and GLIDE number.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "reliefweb_search_disasters" says "search": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it Search active and historical disasters on ReliefWeb by type, country, status, date range, and GLIDE number. Default preset covers alert, ongoing, and past disasters. Use include_archived=true to reach alert-archive entries as well, for historical research. Returns IDs suitable for use with reliefweb_get_disaster and as disaster_id filter in reliefweb_search_reports.

reliefweb_search_jobsSearch humanitarian job listings on ReliefWeb by country, organization, career category, theme, and experience level.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "reliefweb_search_jobs" says "search": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it Search humanitarian job listings on ReliefWeb by country, organization, career category, theme, and experience level. Returns current open positions — expired postings are excluded by default. Use include_archived=true to search the full history of postings, which is far larger than the open set. Use text search for role titles and job descriptions.

reliefweb_search_reportsSearch humanitarian reports on ReliefWeb with filtering by country, disaster, format, theme, language, source, and date.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "reliefweb_search_reports" says "search": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it Search humanitarian reports on ReliefWeb with filtering by country, disaster, format, theme, language, source, and date. Returns paginated summaries — use reliefweb_get_report to fetch full body text. Report body is excluded from results (10–100KB each); call get_report when document content is needed. Every report is reachable by default — reports have no archived class, so include_archived has no effect here. Note: each call counts against the 1,000 calls/day quota.

reliefweb_search_trainingSearch humanitarian training and learning opportunities on ReliefWeb by country, format, date, source, career category, and language.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "reliefweb_search_training" says "search": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it Search humanitarian training and learning opportunities on ReliefWeb by country, format, date, source, career category, and language. Covers on-site and online capacity-building events. Training date fields use date.start / date.end — different from report date fields. Use date_start_from and date_start_to to find upcoming training within a window. Results default to soonest-starting first (date.start:asc). With neither date bound supplied the search is scoped to training starting from now, so the first page is upcoming opportunities; supply either bound to search an explicit range, including a historical one. Use include_archived=true to search concluded listings as well, which are far more numerous than the current ones.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
