Notes

  • The API endpoint is an undocumented internal API used by the AWS website frontend. It may change without notice.

  • Monthly filtering is done client-side since the API only supports year-level tag filtering.

    Disambiguation5/5

    Only one tool exists, so there is no risk of ambiguity.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    With a single tool, naming consistency is trivially maintained.

    Tool Count2/5

    A single tool feels too few for even a simple news service; users likely need additional operations like listing recent news or filtering by category.

    Completeness3/5

    The tool fetches news for a specific month, but lacks search, detailed item retrieval, or category filtering, which are notable gaps.
