News from 17 outlets with left/center/right bias tags and one-sided blindspot detection

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.

TDQS

A3.8/5.0

Scored across 4 tools

Disambiguation4/5

Each tool has a distinct purpose: get_news (raw headlines), compare_coverage (topic-specific side-by-side), get_blindspots (one-sided stories), and get_feed_health (data quality check). The only mild overlap is that get_news and compare_coverage both surface headlines, but topic targeting and comparison framing clearly separate them.

Naming Consistency4/5

Three tools follow the get_<noun> snake_case pattern (get_news, get_blindspots, get_feed_health), with only compare_coverage deviating. The deviation is minor and still readable in the same snake_case convention, so the pattern is largely predictable.

Tool Count4/5

Four tools is a tight, well-scoped set for a news-bias comparison server — each one earns its place without redundancy. It is slightly lean (no source-listing or filtering tool), but nothing feels padded or missing critically.

Completeness4/5

The surface covers the core lifecycle: fetch news, compare coverage across sides, surface blindspots, and verify feed health for stale/empty results. Minor gaps exist (e.g. no way to list all sources or filter by bias/date), but agents can work around them via the query parameter.
