### `asha_blindspot`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Persisted Asha Blindspots / coverage gaps from posture analysis. Use only when status=available; do not infer gaps from empty or unavailable responses.
```

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```

### `asha_digest`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

Asha News editorial voice contract: evidence-first, openly pro-Palestine, citations preserved. Read before generating derived briefs, titles, or social posts.
```

### `asha_feed`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Mint the stable asha.news/s/<code> short link for an article, generated brief, story cluster, or allowlisted route. Idempotent — the same target always returns the same code. Use this instead of pasting long URLs; the short link carries social preview metadata.
```

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Palestine desk timeline (evidence-classed events) with a freshness indicator, plus the desk section map (Now / The Record / Israel Exposed wings with canonical page URLs).
```

### `asha_share_pack`

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

```untrusted-server-text
Share-ready package for a published, cited Asha brief/story. Returns found=false when no final share pack is available.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Ready-to-post social share payloads for an article (x, bluesky, threads, mastodon, telegram, whatsapp, facebook, linkedin): text within platform limits, hashtags, image, and intent URL. Post verbatim; keep attribution.
```

### `asha_sources`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Asha News public source directory with provenance and trust metadata.
```

### `asha_subscribe_newsletter`

- The name "asha_subscribe_newsletter" says "subscribe": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

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

### `conflict_events`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Geolocated Conflict Monitor events (strike, explosion, intercept, movement, statement, thermal_confirmation) with severity, verification status, and EN/AR summaries. Filter with bbox=w,s,e,n; pass since={seq} for deltas.
```

### `conflict_state`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
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_claim`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
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_health`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
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_record`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
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_taxonomy`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
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_case`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

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

## Only reads (5)

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

### `asha_clusters_search`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search story clusters by topic. Returns grouped multi-source coverage.
```

### `asha_search`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Unified search across Asha News articles, active story clusters, and published generated briefs. Use this before choosing a narrower endpoint.
```

### `asha_search_articles`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Keyword search across recent Asha News articles. Cite source URLs and Asha article/story URLs when present.
```

### `palestine_evidence_search`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
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_archive`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

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