The Stochastic Parrot tools (15, 1 write)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsget_auditFreeFetch one piece's full detail JSON by slug: headline, kind, date, context, dek, outlets, verified contradictions with verbatim spans, naming/framing splits, and the full source list. Slugs come from search_corpus or list_audits.
get_boxscoreFreeThe Daily Box Score for one day — the desk's frozen per-day stat snapshot. Requires the day; days are listed at /boxscore/ on the site.
get_chainFreeStory chains: multi-piece storylines the desk has covered more than once. Call without arguments to list the available chain ids; pass chain_id for one chain in full (its pieces in order, claim ledger, and reopen conditions).
get_claim_ledgerFreeA story chain's claim ledger: specific verbatim claims outlets made, each tracked through states (open, corroborated, contradicted, corrected, quietly_abandoned, resolved) with a receipt for every transition. Empty claims list = the desk has not logged claims for that chain yet.
get_coverage_recordFreeThe capture-coverage record: what the desk's observatory actually monitored and when, including gaps. Read this before treating any silence in the corpus as meaningful — the desk's own rule.
get_framing_indexFreeThe Framing Index: across the cross-outlet corpus, how often disagreements between outlets are hard contradictions vs naming/framing splits — totals, rate, monthly trend, per-outlet appearances. The desk's core longitudinal measurement.
get_storyboardsFreeA chain's per-newsroom storyboards: for each outlet, every piece it filed on the story entry-by-entry, the desk's published READ of what each piece was built to do (objective label, motive with its mandatory innocent read, confidence), the label arc, and the desk's 'story, as built' synthesis where one exists.
list_auditsFreeList published pieces (summaries: slug, title, kind, date, counts of hard contradictions and naming/framing splits), newest first. All filters optional and combinable.
list_correctionsFreeThe desk's public corrections ledger: every logged error on a published piece — what was wrong, what changed, and when — in original ledger order.
list_lettersFreeLetters to the Desk: reader mail, excerpted and initialed, with the desk's replies in its own voice. The desk's only interactive surface with its readership.
propose_developmentFreeTip the desk that a story moved — a development on an existing chain or a story worth auditing. Lands in the same proposed-developments queue the observatory's triggers feed; the desk decides what, if anything, to file. Requires the reader key.
report_errorFreeReport a suspected error in a published piece (a miscount, a quote that reads wrong, a broken claim). Verified catches are fixed and logged on the public corrections ledger, credited 'Caught by a reader.' Requires the reader key.
search_corpusFreeFull-text search over every published piece (titles, deks, context lines, outlet names, and source headlines). Returns matching pieces with slug, title, URL, and a highlighted snippet, best matches first. Use the slug with get_audit for full detail.
submit_letterwrite actionFreeSubmit a letter to the desk. If the desk answers, the exchange may be published on the Letters page (excerpted, initialed) — through the desk's normal editorial process, never directly. Requires the reader key.
verify_pieceFreeProvenance record for one piece: SHA-256 hashes of its canonical JSON and published HTML as of the last corpus sync. Re-hash the live artifacts at the piece's URL and compare to confirm what you read is what the desk published.
