    Server tool list (16)

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

    stories_listList stories. Requires the stories API scope. English is the fallback for untranslated fields.
    stories_getStory detail: members, timeline, framing. Requires the stories API scope. English is the fallback for untranslated fields.
    sources_listList newsrooms. Requires the sources API scope. English is the fallback for untranslated fields.
    sources_getOne newsroom, with profile when computed. Requires the sources API scope. English is the fallback for untranslated fields.
    brief_getToday in Brief. Requires the brief API scope. English is the fallback for untranslated fields.
    search_listSearch stories. Requires the search API scope. English is the fallback for untranslated fields.
    people_listPeople in the last 24 hours. Requires the people API scope. English is the fallback for untranslated fields.
    threads_listList running stories. Requires the stories API scope. English is the fallback for untranslated fields.
    threads_getOne running story and its whole arc. Every instalment we still hold, newest first, in the same shape as a story on /v1/stories. The arc is bounded by limit and returned whole rather than paged. Requires the stories API scope. English is the fallback for untranslated fields.
    trending_listNewsroom momentum ranked by an explicit computed metric (newsroom-momentum-v1). Requires the stories API scope. English is the fallback for untranslated fields.
    blindspots_listCoverage gaps, by camp. Requires the stories API scope. English is the fallback for untranslated fields.
    stories_membersEvery article in a cluster, paged. The same member records /v1/stories/{ckey} returns, but paged and filterable by side or lean. side and lean come from the source registry rather than the row, so a filtered page can be shorter than its limit while still issuing a cursor. Requires the stories API scope. English is the fallback for untranslated fields.
    changes_listIncremental change feed. Requires the stories API scope. English is the fallback for untranslated fields.
    topics_listThe desk register with live volume. Requires the sources API scope. English is the fallback for untranslated fields.
    sources_activityMeasured newsroom behaviour. What a newsroom did rather than what its profile says it is: crawl outcomes over the window, and the byline, originality, opinion, press-release and filing-lag rates the profile cron computed over its own 30-day window. successRate is over finished runs only, so a crawl still in flight never reads as a failure. Requires the sources API scope. English is the fallback for untranslated fields.
    people_getOne person, with every spelling folded into them. Identity and aliases. recentCoverage is always null: resolving a person to their stories has no index behind it today, and the field is in the contract so filling it later is additive. Requires the people API scope. English is the fallback for untranslated fields.
