Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| search_newsA | Search Prothom Alo articles by keyword. Works in Bengali or English. Use for tracking a topic, brand, person, or event in Bangladeshi media. |
| latest_newsA | Get the most recent Prothom Alo articles, newest first.
Note: the site's API has no server-side section filter that preserves recency, so a section request scans the newest 100 stories and filters locally. A quiet section may therefore return fewer items than requested. |
| read_articleA | Read the full text of one Prothom Alo article. Accepts a full URL or a bare slug like 'sports/football/cqo9kmtmlf'. |
| list_sectionsA | List Prothom Alo section slugs, optionally filtered by a substring. |

Scored across 4 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: search by keyword, fetch recent articles by section, read full text, and list available sections. There is no meaningful overlap that would cause an agent to pick the wrong tool.
Three tools follow a verb_noun pattern (search_news, read_article, list_sections), while latest_news uses an adjective_noun pattern. The naming is still readable and consistent in style, with only a minor deviation.
Four tools is well-scoped for a news-focused MCP server. Each tool covers a necessary part of the workflow—discovering sections, searching, listing recent articles, and reading full content—without unnecessary duplication.
The core read-only news workflow is covered: discover sections, search, get latest, and read full articles. There are minor gaps like date-range filtering or section-specific search, but agents can typically work around these with the provided tools.
