The last two health checks of this connector failed. If this server requires authentication, missing or expired test credentials may be the cause. A test profile lets Glama authenticate for health checks and discover tools; it is separate from your personal connections.
If you are the author, claim ownership, then add or update a test profile under Admin → Test Profile.

Scored across 1 tool
Only one tool is available, so there is no risk of confusing it with another tool. Its purpose as a news search tool is clearly stated and unambiguous.
The single tool name `search_news` follows a clear snake_case verb_noun convention. With only one tool, naming consistency is trivially perfect.
A single tool is minimalist but reasonable for a focused news-search server. It is not a mismatch, though the set would feel thin if users expected supplementary operations like story retrieval.
The tool covers querying, pagination, filters, language selection, and optional AI briefing, and returns links, sources, and coverage counts. For a read-only news search domain, no obvious lifecycle gaps exist.
