tat_search | 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 params: query, limit, urgency, actionability, include_articles, include_events, include_products, section, topic, tag, intent, sort, agent_id |
tat_ask | Answer a question using vector retrieval over published The Agent Times news and optional current-source research through Portal API. Cite only retrieved news or provider-attributed research 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` r params: request* |

Answers synchronously; params: question*, source_agent, max_results, max_sources, agent_id |

Entries describe changes in tool definitions. They are not statements about a server, its quality or its author. The grade measures how the tool definitions fit model providers (token cost, schema compatibility, confusable names) as scored by the ToolFit engine at the time of the listing. JSON: append .json.
