How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security63
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation not yet verified: we couldn't confirm whether this endpoint requires it. View diagnostics → Unverified
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability0
- Transport check failed: declared streamable-http, but the endpoint returned HTTP 404. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Schema Quality & AI Usability0
- Schema not yet verified: we couldn't read the endpoint's schema, or could read only part of its tool list.Unverified
Stability & Change Management0
- Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).Unverified
Tool Coverage0
- Tool coverage not yet verified: we couldn't read the endpoint's tools, or could read only part of the list.Unverified
Tool Safety0
- Tool safety not yet verified: we couldn't read the endpoint's tools, or could read only part of the list.Unverified
Capabilities0

Unverified: 5 categories
Categories scored 0 because we could not verify them: authentication we do not have, an unreachable endpoint, or not enough scan history. We only credit what we can confirm.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
botwire_status Service health and freshness ~30
Check how fresh The Bot Wire's data is right now: item counts, source count, last refresh.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_wires List every available wire ~38
Show every wire with the condition that should trigger it, plus filters and prices. Call this first if you are unsure which wire owns the question.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
query_wire Query a specialist data wire ~891
Pull the latest items from one of 301 specialist wires. Call list_wires FIRST if you are unsure which wire owns the question: it returns every wire with the exact condition that should trigger it.

| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| filter | string | – | Wire-specific filter value, see the wire list |
| query | string | – | Search terms (omit for the latest items) |
| wire | string | yes | Which wire to query |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_news Search real-time news ~175
Ask when the question is general, cross-domain, or 'what is happening today'. Ranked search over 40 curated news sources, polled on every ingest run. For a domain-specific question (a filing, a CVE, a court ruling, an outage) prefer query_wire — a domain wire is always more precise than keyword search over news. Keyword search, not semantic: send distinctive terms. PAID: this returns the price and the payment steps, not items. Buy the call over HTTP with x402 to get results.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| category | string | – | Restrict to one category |
| query | string | yes | Search terms, e.g. 'fed rates' or 'bitcoin etf' |
| since | string | – | Freshness window: 30m, 2h, 24h, 3d |
