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 →

Endpoint Security57
Transport & Reachability100
Schema Quality & AI Usability59
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 11125 tokens (~185/item across 60 items; 60 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management27
  • Stability observed for 8 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
  • Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Capabilities100
  • Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

MCP tools — 60 exposed · ~9,155 tokens

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.

Tool Tokens
remove_webhook_resource ~122

Unmap a resource from a webhook. Use when: - You want to stop a webhook from firing for a specific job or monitor.

NameTypeReqDescription
api_keystringCatchAll API key. Optional if provided via x-api-key header or CATCHALL_API_KEY env var.
resource_idstringyesThe ID of the mapped job/monitor/monitor_group.
resource_typestringyesResource type: 'job', 'monitor', or 'monitor_group'.
webhook_idstringyesThe webhook ID to detach the resource from.
NameTypeReqDescription
resultstringyes

No examples provided.

submit_query ~1,314

Create a new CatchAll processing job from a natural-language query. Use when: - You want to start a new CatchAll web research run from a user query. - You want the API to fetch/process sources and then return structured results. Do not use when: - You want status for an existing job (use `get_job_status`). - You want records for an existing job (use `pull_results`). Key rules: - `query` is required. - You can submit with only `query`; omitted optional fields (`validators`, `enrichments`, `start_date`, `end_date`) are auto-selected/generated by the API. - Optional fields are independent: you can pass any subset (for example, custom `validators` but no `enrichments`), and omitted fields are still auto-selected/generated. - When `connected_dataset_ids` is set, the `query` must describe the **topic or event type only** (e.g. "M&A activity", "regulatory filings", "executive changes"). Do NOT write things like "for my companies", "for the selected list of companies", or "news about my watchlist" — the entity filtering is applied automatically by the connected dataset. Mentioning companies in the query when a dataset is attached is redundant and degrades retrieval quality. - When `connected_dataset_ids` is set, entity-relevance validators (e.g. `company_is_primary_subject`) are generated automatically by the API. Do NOT add them manually to `validators` — they are redundant and may conflict with the auto-generated ones. Only pass validators that describe the **event or topic**, not entity filtering. - `start_date` and `end_date` filter by web page discovery date, not event date. - Discovery dates and extracted event dates can differ. For event-time accuracy, use event-focused validators/enrichments and verify `event_date` in pulled results. - `end_date` must be after `start_date`. - Dates outside your plan lookback limits return API 400. - `limit` controls processed record count (cost-affecting). Omit it to retrieve everything up to your plan's maximum.…

test_webhook ~113

Send a test delivery to a webhook endpoint. Use when: - You want to verify a webhook URL is reachable and correctly configured before attaching it to a monitor or job.

NameTypeReqDescription

NameTypeReqDescription
api_keystringCatchAll API key. Optional if provided via x-api-key header or CATCHALL_API_KEY env var.
job_idstringOptional job ID whose payload should be delivered (e.g. a specific monitor run's job). If omitted, the API picks the resource's payload itself.
resource_idstringyesThe ID of the job/monitor/monitor_group to trigger delivery for.
