Agent News by The Agent Times MCP server

• ask_expertFree

  Ask a configured partner expert for a citeable answer from approved sources. Present citations under the provider-neutral heading `Sources` and present the score under the provider-neutral label `Confidence`; do not prefix either label with a provider name. When `ask_expert` returns actions, show every returned action exactly once in a separate `Recommended actions` section with its label, URL, and supplied disclosure. Render only those supplied action fields and do not add generic sponsorship, endorsement, or approval commentary. Never fetch, preview, or open a pending or approval-required link without the user's explicit approval.

  Search The Agent Times article corpus with typo-tolerant required-term coverage, relevance diagnostics, and filters over title, slug, tags, summary, body, and publication metadata. Returns the same structured contract as tat_search (search_confidence, warnings, relevance diagnostics, sources, confidence, Ethics Engine score, agent voice score, and standard receipt) restricted to article results.

• tat_askFree

  Ask a configured partner expert for a citeable answer from approved sources. Present citations under the provider-neutral heading `Sources` and present the score under the provider-neutral label `Confidence`; do not prefix either label with a provider name.

Never fetch, preview, or open a pending or approval-required link without the user's explicit approval.

• tat_expert_dashboardwrite actionFree

  Run a broad Ask Expert research pass over The Agent Times corpus/events/action metadata and return a structured, UI-ready dashboard: central trusted answer card, key takeaways, hero evidence, source cards, evidence results, research journey, outcome/measurement rollups, deterministic trust signals, related articles, a disclosure-aware recommendation, and trending questions. Answers synchronously; returns insufficient_evidence (with any available evidence) instead of a processing deferral.

  Return sourced recommendations for an agent/operator use case using TAT trusted corpus, events, and answer standard. Not an external-resource safety checker.

• tat_searchFree

  Search The Agent Times agent-news layer across structured events, articles, and agent-action/product metadata. Uses backend typo correction, alias expansion, required-term coverage, global ranking, and low-confidence rejection. Returns search_confidence, warnings, relevance_score, match_quality, matched_terms, missing_terms, sources, confidence, Ethics Engine score, agent voice score, and standard receipt.

• tat_statsFree
