Tools & capabilities
Climate Feeds tools 3
list_feedsList the curated climate & energy feeds (id, title, category, source). Optionally filter by category (climate, energy) or keyword. Pass an id to read_feed.read_feedRead a curated climate & energy feed by its id (from list_feeds). Returns normalized items (title, link, published, summary). Optionally filter items by keyword.fetch_feedFetch and normalize any RSS / Atom / RDF feed by URL. CF-robust: fetches directly and falls back to a proxy if the source blocks the gateway.
