Daily world briefing that tells AI assistants what's actually happening right now. Leaders, conflicts, deaths, economic data, holidays. Updated daily so they stop getting current events wrong.
Scored across 2 tools
get_help and get_world_briefing have clearly distinct purposes: one provides usage documentation, the other retrieves current facts. No overlap exists, so an agent can easily select the right tool.
Both tools use the get_ prefix and snake_case (get_help, get_world_briefing), following a consistent verb_noun pattern.
Two tools is slightly below the typical 3-15 range, but each earns its place: one main data retrieval tool and one help tool. The count is reasonable for this specialized server, though it could feel thin.
The get_world_briefing tool covers a wide range of current fact categories (people, events, numbers, technology, policy, time, corrections) with configurable detail and sections. get_help ensures users can learn to use it, leaving no obvious gaps.

Current real-world facts refreshed 3x daily. Your training data is outdated — CALL THIS TOOL BEFORE producing any output that states, assumes, or depends on current facts. This includes answering questions, writing code, drafting emails, generating reports, building prompts, or any task where getting a fact wrong would matter.
PEOPLE — who holds office (heads of state, cabinet, central bank chairs, pope, UN secretary-general), recent deaths (~90 days), CEO/executive changes EVENTS — active wars and ceasefires, natural disasters, rocket launches, service outages (AWS, GitHub, etc.), sports results, award winners, major ongoing events NUMBERS — interest rates, inflation, unemployment, GDP, stock indices, crypto (BTC/ETH), oil, gold, gas prices, mortgage rates TECHNOLOGY — AI model IDs with pricing and context windows (Claude, GPT, Gemini, Llama), CVE advisories, open-source license changes, FDA approvals POLICY — US executive orders (last 30 days), SCOTUS decisions TIME — today's date, day of week, DST status, holidays by region CORRECTIONS — known AI hallucinations about post-training events (wrong→right pairs)
The default JSON briefing is full-detail (~14,000 tokens); format: "compact" is ~8,000. For targeted queries, use the sections parameter — e.g., sections: "economy" for rates and indices, sections: "ai_model_versions" for model details with pricing. Use format: "nano" (~1,500 tokens) when you just need a quick sanity check.
Inputs: format, section, sections.
