Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 6 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 7 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass

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 →
nw_article Read a news article ~104
Fetch one article page and return its full body text, split into parts for long stories. Works for every source. Photo and video items often have no body text. `parts` > 1 means call again with part=2, 3, ...
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| part | integer | – | Part number for long articles (6000 characters each); see `parts`. |
| url | string | yes | Article url from nw_latest / nw_search / nw_latest_all (from any listed source). |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
nw_latest Latest news from a source ~169
Return the newest headlines of one news source, optionally of one category. Each item has title, url, published (UTC ISO), summary (plain text) and categories. `stale: true` means the feed's newest story is over 3 days old (some Digiato topic feeds go quiet). Use nw_list_sources for category slugs; use nw_search to look for a topic across sources.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| category | string | – | Category slug from nw_list_sources, e.g. 'politics', 'economy', 'sports'. Empty = the source's main latest feed. |
| limit | integer | – | Max items (1-15), newest first. |
| source | string | yes | Source id such as mehr, tabnak or varzesh3 (see nw_list_sources). |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
nw_latest_all Latest news across sources ~151
Return the newest headlines from every source (or the chosen ones), merged and sorted by time. Use it for a general news overview; pass a common category slug such as 'economy' or 'sports' to narrow it. Not for technology questions: use nw_tech_news. Sources that failed or lack the category are listed under `errors`.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| category | string | – | Category slug from nw_list_sources, e.g. 'politics', 'economy', 'sports'. Empty = the source's main latest feed. |
| per_source | integer | – | Items (1-2) taken from each source before merging. |
| sources | array | – | Source ids to include. Empty = all sources. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
nw_list_sources List news sources ~90
List the news sources with their group and category slugs; call this first to know valid `source` and `category` values. `group`: news (Iranian general news), tech, sports. Pass chosen ids as `sources` to nw_search / nw_latest_all to filter by group. Next: nw_latest, nw_search or nw_latest_all; for technology questions use nw_tech_news.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
nw_search Search news across sources ~178
Search recent headlines of several sources for a keyword (client-side over their current feeds, newest first). Only the items currently in each feed (roughly the last 10-300 stories) are searched, not an archive. Sources that failed or lack the category are listed under `errors`. For technology topics use nw_tech_news instead (deeper Digiato paging, longer summaries, higher limit).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| category | string | – | Category slug from nw_list_sources, e.g. 'politics', 'economy', 'sports'. Empty = the source's main latest feed. |
| limit | integer | – | Max items (1-15), newest first. |
| query | string | yes | Keywords; every word must appear in the title or summary. Persian works best. |
| sources | array | – | Source ids to include. Empty = all sources. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
nw_tech_news Tech news (Digiato, Zoomit) ~320
Return the newest technology news (phones, laptops, AI, gadgets, apps, crypto, cars, security, games) with long summaries. Use this first for any technology question instead of nw_search or nw_latest_all. Digiato is the default and is read several feed pages deep, so `limit` up to 30 works; a `topic` scans the latest 50 Digiato stories (Zoomit: its 300). Each item has title, url, published (UTC ISO), a summary of up to 300 characters, categories and author. `scanned` is how many stories were searched: if `count` is 0 or low, try a shorter or more general `topic`, or source='both'. Next: nw_article with an item's `url` for the full text.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| category | string | – | Tech topic slug. Digiato: mobile, apps, ai, gadgets, hardware, laptop, crypto, internet, security, reviews, car, business, buying-guide, science. Zoomit adds apple, samsung, gaming, space, software-n… |
| limit | integer | – | Max stories (1-30), newest first. Use 20-30 for a roundup. |
| source | string | – | digiato (default, richest summaries and paging), zoomit, or both merged by time. |
| topic | string | – | Keywords; every word must appear in the title or summary. Persian or brand names. Empty = no filter. |
