MCP tools · 7 exposed · ~813 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
poliety_ask ~130

Ask The Poliety's concierge a question about the service itself: coverage (what dates the archive holds), capabilities (endpoints, integrity verification, tools), and tiers (what is free, what the key buys). Answers are grounded in Poliety's published docs and are non-canonical; the canonical_urls field in the response lists the citable sources. Not for news content (use poliety_latest or poliety_changes). No API key required; a key raises the rate limit.

NameTypeReqDescription
questionstringyesA plain-language question about The Poliety service, up to 2000 characters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

poliety_changes ~187

Get what changed since your last check: new stories, score changes, corrections. Pass the cursor from a previous response to receive only new changes, or use 'since' with an ISO 8601 timestamp. On first call with no cursor or since, returns a starting cursor for future delta queries.

NameTypeReqDescription
changestringFilter by change type.
cursorstringOpaque cursor from a previous poliety_changes response.
kindstringFilter to wire items or editorial briefs.
limitintegerMaximum results (default 200).
minScorenumberMinimum score threshold (wire items are scored 0-100).
sectionstringFilter to a section (e.g. 'ai', 'startups').
sincestringISO 8601 timestamp. Alternative to cursor; returns changes since this time.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

poliety_event_evidence ~103

Inspect one event's full evidence package to decide whether it is trustworthy enough to act on: epistemic status and confidence with rationale, sources by authority, the complete Bench tribunal receipt (verdict, constitution hash, challenger findings, defender rebuttals, oracle reasoning), integrity hashes with links to the free published files, and full provenance. Requires an API key.

NameTypeReqDescription
event_idstringyesThe evt_ id of the event, from poliety_events.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

poliety_event_history ~84

Get one event's supersession lineage, oldest first: what was believed at each point, at what confidence, and what corrected it. Later entries supersede, never overwrite, so the record of an earlier belief survives its correction. Requires an API key.

NameTypeReqDescription
event_idstringyesThe evt_ id of any event in the lineage, from poliety_events.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

poliety_events ~182

Get canonical events: governed, provenance-backed, hash-chained records of material changes in the AI and software ecosystem (status transitions, SDK releases, pricing and spec changes). Pass the next_cursor from a previous response as 'since' to receive only newer events. No API key required.

NameTypeReqDescription
entitystringFilter by entity id (e.g. 'anthropic', 'openai', 'nodejs').
limitintegerMaximum results (default 100).
min_materialitynumberOnly events at or above this materiality (0 to 1).
sincestringOpaque cursor from a previous poliety_events response; omit to walk from the start of the chain.
typestringFilter by event type (e.g. 'sdk.released', 'status.degraded', 'pricing.changed').

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

poliety_integrity ~59

Verify The Poliety's integrity chain: an append-only hash chain proving past editions have not been rewritten. Returns the chain head, root, length, and a witness recipe you can run to independently verify the current edition. No API key required.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

poliety_latest ~68

Get today's AI news briefing from The Poliety: the lead story, briefs, and scored wire items. Returns the current edition as structured JSON. No API key required: without one this reads the free public edition; with one it reads the paid API's copy enriched with firstSeenAt timestamps.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.
