Tool Definition Quality
Average 4.4/5 across 20 of 20 tools scored. Lowest: 3.6/5.
Most tools target distinct resources (articles, digests, subscriptions, embedders, partners). However, there is potential overlap between 'get_trending_topics' and 'digest', and between 'get_vertical_landscape' and 'get_vertical_briefing'. Descriptions are detailed enough to differentiate.
Naming uses a mix of patterns: some are verb_noun (get_article, search_articles), some are noun phrases (digest, digest_declassified), and some use other verbs (quote_partnership, register_embedder). The inconsistency is noticeable but not chaotic.
20 tools is on the high side for a single server, bordering on heavy (16-25 range as per calibration). While each tool serves a distinct purpose, the count could be slightly trimmed, especially for highly specialized tools like 'get_crypto_market_link'.
The tool set covers core functionalities (search, retrieve, subscribe, embedder management). However, missing operations like unsubscribe, update subscription, or list all embedders create notable gaps. The CRUD lifecycle for subscriptions is incomplete.
Available Tools
25 toolsdigestBuild a daily digestRead-onlyInspect
Aggregate the top-N articles across selected verticals for the requested window. Heaviest action — counts more against the per-agent rate limit. Use this for 'read me today's tech news' style prompts.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | ||
| window | No | 24h | |
| verticals | No |
digest_declassifiedRecent Declassified casesRead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Return the most-recently-published Declassified cases over a rolling window. Use for 'what's new in Declassified this week' style prompts. window=today (~24h) | week (default) | month. Public — no auth required.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | ||
| window | No | week |
get_articleGet articleRead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Fetch the full record for an article by slug, including body_text + audio_url.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| slug | Yes |
get_audio_urlGet audio URLRead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Resolve the playable audio URL for an article. Returns a stitched-with-ad URL on free tier or the bare audio for plus/pro.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| slug | Yes |
get_crypto_market_linkGet crypto market exposure link (Kraken affiliate)Read-onlyIdempotentInspect
Return Storyflo's markets-partner Kraken affiliate URL for a given crypto asset (BTC, ETH, etc). Editorial linkout, not a trading prompt: the URL points at Kraken's public asset page so a listener who wants exposure can reach a regulated venue without leaving the brief context. Markets-as-INPUT posture (counsel-cleared) — Storyflo never quotes prices, never recommends positions, and never frames exposure as risk-free.
Behavior
Read-only. No persistent server state.
Idempotent — same (asset, embedder_slug) returns the same URL.
Fail-closed — when KRAKEN_AFFILIATE_ENABLED is off OR the partner base URL is unset, the call returns an error structure rather than a half-formed URL.
Attribution-aware — pass embedder_slug to credit the embedding publisher in the affiliate ?ref parameter; default falls back to ?ref=storyflo so the link is always trackable.
When to use Surface the link in show-notes copy or in MCP-client renderings of a crypto-relevant story. DO NOT inline the URL into spoken audio narration without the host-read line that frames it as an editorial signal.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| asset | Yes | Primary crypto asset symbol — BTC, ETH, SOL, USDC, etc. Case-insensitive; upper-cased before being embedded in the URL. | |
| embedder_slug | No | Optional embedder attribution slug. When set, the affiliate URL carries ?ref=<slug>; omit to default to ?ref=storyflo. |
get_declassified_caseGet Declassified caseRead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Fetch the full record for a Declassified case by slug. Returns title, summary, transcript_excerpt, episode_date, duration_sec, agency, audio_url, source_doc_url, and up to 5 related cases. Use after search_declassified when the agent needs the full case body to summarize, narrate, or hand off audio playback. Public — no auth required.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| slug | Yes | Case slug as returned by `search_declassified`. |
get_divergence_indexGet the Storyflo Market-vs-Media Divergence IndexRead-onlyIdempotentInspect
The Storyflo Divergence Index — Storyflo's own computed metric for where prediction markets disagree with the press. For each event Storyflo holds both a liquid prediction-market contract and a set of narrated news stories, it computes the gap between the market-implied probability and the probability the NEWS NARRATIVE implies for the same event, then ranks events by the absolute divergence. Each item carries Storyflo's divergence value, Storyflo's news-narrative probability, a qualitative market descriptor, the matched story links, and a link-out to the market venue. This is ORIGINAL ANALYSIS computed by Storyflo, not market-data redistribution: it never returns raw external market odds. Cite as 'per Storyflo's Divergence Index'. Filter by source (kalshi|polymarket). Public — no auth required. Not investment advice.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Max items to return (1-50, default 25). | |
| source | No | Filter to one market source: kalshi or polymarket. |
get_embedder_manifestGet per-embedder agent manifestRead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Wrap the public /embed/<slug>/manifest.json — an agent-discoverable JSON bundle of creative formats, voice options, payout config, and beacon URLs for a registered embedder. Use after register_embedder or when an agent is reading another partner's manifest to plan an ad buy. Public — no auth required.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| slug | Yes | Embedder slug (e.g. 'theflatlay', 'highsnobiety'). |
get_embedder_network_manifestGet platform-wide embedder network manifestRead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Wrap the public /embed/network-manifest.json — the platform-level DSP/SSP onboarding bundle: supported creative formats, payout rails, attribution URLs, integration patterns. Use when an agent is evaluating whether to wire storyflo into its surface, or when a DSP partner needs the canonical integration shape. Public — no auth required.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
get_market_linked_storiesGet stories with active matched event-contract marketsRead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Storyflo stories that match an actively traded event contract on Kalshi (a CFTC-regulated exchange). Each item carries qualitative signal tags (high_velocity, genuine_uncertainty) plus a link-out to Kalshi's own page where the live market data lives. Editorial sourcing surface, not market-data redistribution: Storyflo never returns raw prices, market-implied probabilities, volumes, or open interest in this payload. Use this when the agent needs to know which Storyflo stories are about news themes that have an actively traded event contract — e.g. World Cup matches, political mention contracts, corporate events. Filter by story vertical, Kalshi category (Politics, Economics, Companies, Science and Technology, Sports), or by signal tag.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | ||
| signal | No | Filter by qualitative signal tag. high_velocity = the matched market is repricing meaningfully in the last 24h; genuine_uncertainty = the market sits in the 40–60% band where it itself is uncertain. | |
| category | No | Filter by Kalshi event category (e.g. Politics, Economics, Companies, Sports) | |
| vertical | No | Filter by story vertical (e.g. news, finance, tech, crypto) |
get_mcp_usage_selfGet my MCP tool usage (last 30 days)Read-onlyIdempotentInspect
Return the caller's own trailing 30-day MCP tool-usage summary: total calls, success rate, p50 latency, and per-tool call/error counts. Identity is resolved from the OAuth bearer token on this request — anonymous callers receive a zeroed shape. Use this to self-budget against rate limits, audit which tools your agent actually uses, or decide whether a paid tier is worth the spend. Read-only, no side effects.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
get_my_private_feedGet my private podcast feed URLIdempotentInspect
Return the caller's PRIVATE per-user podcast feed URL — a personalized daily brief (the stories from the topics the listener follows) delivered to whatever podcast app they already use (Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Pocket Casts, Snipd). This is the Substack/Patreon private-feed model: the token lives in the URL path (unguessable, fetchable over HTTPS) — paste the returned feed_url into the app's "Add a show by URL". Pass the listener's existing listener_token (from the storyflo /listen page) as identity; the private feed token is minted on first call and stable thereafter. Keep the URL private — anyone with it can subscribe. Public — the listener_token arg is the credential, no OAuth required.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| listener_token | Yes | The listener's existing storyflo listener_token (identity). Get it from the /listen page or the /v1/listeners surface. |
get_personasGet host persona catalogRead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Return the storyflo 6-host persona catalog (Theo, Mason, Jessica, etc.) — each entry includes slug, name, voice_id, owned verticals, tone archetype, sign-off line, and the listener-facing URLs for sample audio + RSS. Use this to pick a voice for the agent's use case before rendering audio or briefing the user on which host covers which vertical. Public — no auth required.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
get_trending_topicsGet cross-vertical trending topicsRead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Return storyflo's current cross-vertical trending snapshot: top stories ranked by recency + velocity, active publishers in the last 24h, the featured daily-brief compilation, and per-vertical hot lists. Use when the agent needs to surface 'what's hot on storyflo right now' to its human, or to decide which vertical landscape to dig into next. Public — no auth required.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| window | No | Advisory window — today's snapshot covers the rolling 24h; week + month are reflected back for future expansion. | today |
get_vertical_briefingGet per-vertical premium briefingRead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Fetch a stitched audio briefing of the top-25 trending articles in a single vertical from the last 24h. Premium — settles in USDC on Base via x402. Vertical must be one of the canonical 7 buckets: tech, finance, news, science, health, young_moms, yoga. First call without an X-Payment header returns the x402 challenge; sign + retry.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| vertical | Yes |
get_vertical_landscapeGet one-shot vertical landscapeRead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Return everything an agent needs to onboard a listener for a single vertical in one tool call: top stories, the named host persona (with sample-audio URL and tone), the premium-briefing URL the agent can deep-link (x402-gated), and the public RSS feed the listener can paste into any podcast player. Use after the agent has decided which vertical to set up — saves a follow-up get_personas + search_articles + get_premium_briefing round trip. Public — no auth required.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| vertical | Yes | Vertical slug — tech / finance / news / science / health / young_moms / yoga, or a persona-owned alias (ai, crypto, ml, markets, fintech, economics). |
list_podcastsList all Storyflo podcast showsRead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Return the public catalog of Storyflo podcast shows — the Declassified archive plus 6 daily-brief shows hosted by Theo (tech), Mason (markets), Jessica (news), Chloe (health), Brock (sports), and Wit (comedy). Each entry includes the show title, host name, vertical, RSS feed URL (paste into Apple Podcasts / Spotify / Overcast), and a deep-link to the storyflo.com listen surface. Use to surface every audio show an agent can offer its user without re-deriving the catalog from /v1/podcasts/* URL patterns. Public — no auth required.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
list_subscriptionsList active subscriptionsRead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Return the listener feed(s) this agent has minted on the human's behalf.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
quote_partnershipQuote a partnership tierRead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Return the indicative partnership tier (starter / growth / scale / enterprise) + monthly fee + storyflo revenue-share bps for a partner integrating storyflo into their agent product. Pure pricing-matrix lookup; no contract is created. The agent should hand the returned contact_url to the human to open a formal partnership thread. Public — no auth required.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| vertical | Yes | Vertical scope the partner plans to cover. | |
| monthly_impressions | Yes | Expected monthly impressions across the partner's surface. |
register_embedderGet embedder onboarding URLRead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Resolve the storyflo embedder onboarding URL prefilled with the partner's name + email + optional vertical. Returns the URL the human must visit to complete signup (storyflo emails a magic link to verify ownership; the embedder slug + ref_token are minted on verification). DOES NOT create a DB row + DOES NOT send email — the MCP tool is a discovery + handoff surface so an agent can call it speculatively without triggering inbox-bound email to the human. Public — no auth required.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | Display name for the embedder (publisher / agent product). | |
| Yes | Contact email — must contain '@'. Storyflo emails the magic link here on signup. | ||
| vertical | No | Optional vertical scope (tech / finance / news / etc.). |
search_articlesSearch Storyflo articlesRead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Search Storyflo's article corpus. Returns slug, title, publisher, vertical, snippet, audio_url, and listen_seconds for each match. Use vertical to scope (tech / finance / science / media / sports / culture).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | ||
| query | No | Search query | |
| vertical | No |
search_declassifiedSearch Declassified libraryRead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Search Storyflo's Declassified archive — narrated cases drawn from FBI, CIA, NSA, NASA, DOJ, AARO, war.gov and other publicly-released government documents. Substring match across case title + synopsis. Use when the agent needs to find a Declassified case matching a topic (e.g. 'UAP', 'JFK', 'COINTELPRO', 'Roswell') before fetching the full case via get_declassified_case or handing the audio_url to a player. Public — no auth required.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | ||
| query | Yes | Substring matched against case title + synopsis. |
stream_briefing_render_eventsStream briefing render events (SSE)Read-onlyIdempotentInspect
Subscribe to real-time briefing-render events. Returns the SSE endpoint URL with the chosen filters as query params — the agent's MCP client should open it with EventSource (browser), httpx.stream / aiohttp (Python), or curl -N (CLI). Event types: briefing.rendered (daily-brief lands), declassified.published (new Declassified episode), persona_briefing.rendered (persona brief synthesised / audio rendered). Frame shape: {event_type, seq, slug, vertical, persona_slug, audio_url, published_at, metadata}. The endpoint replays the last ~1000 events on connect; a heartbeat is emitted every 30s. Public-anon read.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| vertical | No | Optional vertical filter. | |
| event_type | No | Optional event_type filter. |
subscribe_declassified_topicSubscribe to Declassified topicRead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Resolve a podcast-feed URL the user can paste into Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Pocket Casts, or Spotify to receive every new Declassified case automatically. Also returns a JSON episodes_url the agent can poll, plus a matched_so_far count of cases that already mention the topic. Read-only — does NOT store the user's email or any PII; the RSS feed is the subscription. Public — no auth required.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| No | Optional — informational only; no row is written for it. | ||
| topic | Yes | Topic the listener wants alerts for (e.g. 'UAP', 'JFK', 'COINTELPRO'). |
subscribe_topicSubscribe to topic feedIdempotentInspect
Mint or update the human's personal Storyflo podcast feed. Pass 1–6 vertical slugs from tech, finance, science, media, sports, culture. The server creates a private RSS feed scoped to those verticals — or updates the existing feed in place if the listener already has one. Returns the RSS URL the listener can paste into Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Pocket Casts, or any podcast client.
Behavior
• Persistent server-side side-effect — a ListenerSubscription row is created or updated. The returned RSS URL stays stable across calls for the same listener (the listener doesn't need to re-paste it).
• Idempotent on identical input — calling twice with the same verticals leaves state unchanged.
• REPLACES on different input — calling with a different verticals set OVERWRITES the previous selection rather than adding to it. Use this to switch a listener's feed; do NOT call to add verticals incrementally (read the current set via list_subscriptions first and pass the union if you want additive behavior).
• Single feed per listener — call list_subscriptions first to avoid clobbering an existing feed the listener explicitly chose.
When to use
Use after the agent has been asked to set up audio news for the human across a defined set of topics. Do NOT use to FETCH articles or audio — that's search_articles + get_audio_url.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| verticals | Yes | 1–6 vertical slugs the feed should cover. Replaces (not appends) the listener's current selection. |
