Why it is in this group
- The name "asha_subscribe_newsletter" says "subscribe": a word for a change.
Description, as the server wrote it Start a DOUBLE OPT-IN newsletter signup for an email address. Asha emails a confirmation link; nothing is delivered until the person clicks it. Only submit an address the person gave you in this conversation, and tell them to check their inbox — you cannot confirm on their behalf.

Why it is in this group
- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it Live Middle East Conflict Monitor snapshot: official alerts, geolocated OSINT events, active story clusters, EN/AR theater brief, and per-tier freshness (degraded flag). Pass since={seq} for envelope deltas. Streaming clients can use SSE at https://asha.news/api/conflict/stream instead.
palestine_check_claimCheck one claim about Palestine against the desk's claim library and evidence archive.No findings
Why it is in this group
- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
Description, as the server wrote it Check one claim about Palestine against the desk's claim library and evidence archive. Returns the matched claim family, verdict, a short evidence-backed answer, and citation URLs. Rate-limited — send a single clear claim per call and relay the citations with the answer.
palestine_evidence_healthOperational state of the Palestine evidence pipeline: which sources are collecting and when they last succeeded, how deep the review queue is, how many records are actually publish…No findings
Why it is in this group
- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
Description, as the server wrote it Operational state of the Palestine evidence pipeline: which sources are collecting and when they last succeeded, how deep the review queue is, how many records are actually published, and how reachable the external media pointers were at their last check. Aggregate counts only — it never names an unreviewed record. Use it to answer "is this archive current?" honestly before citing it, and read degraded_reasons rather than the status alone. A source with ingest_enabled:false is configured off, not broken.
palestine_evidence_recordOne Palestine evidence record by its stable ref (e.g.No findings
Why it is in this group
- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
Description, as the server wrote it One Palestine evidence record by its stable ref (e.g. gl-2810), with its assigned categories, editor-asserted incident links, related records, and ranked external media candidates carrying observed link health. Media candidates are third-party destinations — Asha never hosts them, and anything graphic or ungraded requires explicit consent before it loads. A ref that is not found may simply not have cleared editorial review; treat 404 as "not published", not as "does not exist".
palestine_evidence_taxonomyThe controlled vocabulary behind the Palestine evidence graph: incident_type (what happened), theme (what was hit), affected_group (who), and legal_category (what a named body says…No findings
Why it is in this group
- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
Description, as the server wrote it The controlled vocabulary behind the Palestine evidence graph: incident_type (what happened), theme (what was hit), affected_group (who), and legal_category (what a named body says it amounts to). Call this before filtering so you use real slugs. legal_category terms are editorial-only — they are never derived from text, and record that a named authority made that characterization.
palestine_genocide_caseThe full genocide-case record from the Asha News Palestine desk: what each court, UN body, rights organization, and study found — precisely characterized (provisional measures are …No findings
Why it is in this group
- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
Description, as the server wrote it The full genocide-case record from the Asha News Palestine desk: what each court, UN body, rights organization, and study found — precisely characterized (provisional measures are not merits rulings; warrants are charges, not convictions) — plus attributed casualty figures, a case timeline, and an FAQ. Relay characterizations exactly and keep citation URLs.

asha_clusters_searchSearch story clusters by topic.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "asha_clusters_search" says "search": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it Search story clusters by topic. Returns grouped multi-source coverage.
asha_searchUnified search across Asha News articles, active story clusters, and published generated briefs.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "asha_search" says "search": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it Unified search across Asha News articles, active story clusters, and published generated briefs. Use this before choosing a narrower endpoint.
asha_search_articlesKeyword search across recent Asha News articles.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "asha_search_articles" says "search": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it Keyword search across recent Asha News articles. Cite source URLs and Asha article/story URLs when present.
palestine_evidence_searchSearch the Palestine evidence graph: reviewer-approved records with dates, places, assigned categories, and the source that documented each one.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "palestine_evidence_search" says "search": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it Search the Palestine evidence graph: reviewer-approved records with dates, places, assigned categories, and the source that documented each one. Returns facet counts (region, category, year, source, trust states) alongside results, so you can see the shape of the corpus before narrowing. Every record separates the upstream source's own wording (upstream.classification) from Asha's review (asha.finding) — quote the first with attribution, never relay it as an Asha finding. bot_can_cite is true only for editorially verified records; everything else is citable strictly as "this source says". Asha holds metadata and links only; media opens on the upstream record.
palestine_search_archiveSearch the Palestine evidence archive: 140,000+ upstream media records, the Killed in Gaza victims memorial, and the curated claim library.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "palestine_search_archive" says "search": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it Search the Palestine evidence archive: 140,000+ upstream media records, the Killed in Gaza victims memorial, and the curated claim library. Results carry stable IDs and canonical URLs — cite those instead of scraping.
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.
