    Server tool list (8)

    Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

    aihot_get_latestGet the latest AIHOT items for a 24-hour or 7-day briefing. Prefer selected mode unless the user explicitly asks for every public item. Do not use this for named-topic search or multi-source event context.
    aihot_searchSearch AIHOT's latest 7 days by a 2–200 character topic, company, model, product, or person. It searches editorial picks first and automatically expands to all public items only when picks have no result.
    aihot_get_hot_topicsGet the current AIHOT Top 10 with each event's one-based rank. Use this for 'what is hot now' and to discover valid story public IDs; use aihot_get_latest for a chronological news list. Internal heat scores are not returned.
    aihot_get_storyGet the evolving timeline, latest development, AI digest, and related events for one public story. Only pass a public_id obtained from aihot_get_hot_topics links.story; never invent or infer IDs.
    aihot_get_dailyGet AIHOT's edited daily overview, either the latest issue or a real YYYY-MM-DD date. Use this when the user asks for a daily report rather than a raw chronological list.
    aihot_get_weeklyGet AIHOT's edited weekly report: the week's most important events chosen from its dailies, grouped by section, with an overview. Use this for what happened this week or in a given ISO week; omit week for the latest.
    aihot_get_monthlyGet AIHOT's edited monthly report: the month's most important events chosen from its dailies, grouped by section, with an overview. Use this for what happened this month or in a given month; omit month for the latest.
    aihot_get_codex_resetsGet Tibo's Codex usage-limit resets and reset credits as AIHOT tracks them: announcements still waiting to take effect, the last 7 days and the last landed one, each with its evidence. Keep the evidence distinctions in the answer: a confirmation post, a verified receipt and an estimate are different things.
