Tools & capabilities
Crypto News Aggregator tools 59
get_latest_newsLatest crypto headlines from 300+ sources (CoinDesk, The Block, Decrypt, Bloomberg, Reuters and more). Filter by category or source, sort by AI impact score, or restrict to the curated tier-1 homepage feed.get_breaking_newsBreaking crypto news from the last few hours, ranked by urgency. Use for "what just happened" questions.search_newsFull-text search across every indexed article. Pass a topic, coin, company or event. Set semantic=true for embedding-based search that matches meaning rather than exact words.get_articleFetch one article. Give an archive id or slug to read it from the archive, or give any article URL to extract its full text and metadata from the publisher page.get_archiveQuery the historical news archive by date range, ticker, source, sentiment or keyword. Every article carries market context (price at publish time).get_archive_statsCoverage statistics for the historical archive: article counts, date range, sources and categories.get_regulatory_newsRegulatory and legal developments: SEC, CFTC, MiCA, court rulings, enforcement. Filter by jurisdiction, agency, sector or lookback window, or ask for jurisdiction profiles, agencies, deadlines or an intelligence summary.get_portfolio_newsNews for a specific set of holdings, optionally with live prices for each coin. Use when the user names the coins they hold.get_daily_digestA compiled digest of the most important stories over the last 6, 12 or 24 hours, in full, brief or newsletter form.list_categoriesEvery news category the API understands, with article counts. Use the ids as the category argument of get_latest_news.get_trending_topicsTopics trending across the news flow right now, each tagged bullish, bearish or neutral with sample headlines.get_narrativesThe narratives currently driving coverage (e.g. RWA, restaking, ETF flows) with momentum, sentiment and related tickers. emerging=true surfaces narratives that are just starting to pick up.- +47 more on the listing page
Tensorfeed tools 24
get_ai_newsGet the latest AI news from TensorFeed.ai as a ranked list with title, source, URL, snippet, and publish time, filterable by category (e.g. "anthropic", "openai", "research", "tools"). Aggregates 15+ sources (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, TechCrunch, The Verge, arXiv, and more) into one normalized feed, so an agent reads one schema instead of polling each outlet. Free, no auth.find_tensorfeed_dataDiscover which TensorFeed endpoint answers a data need. Describe what you want in plain language (e.g. "trending AI papers", "is OpenAI down", "model price history") and this returns the 2 to 3 best-matching TensorFeed endpoints, each with its HTTP path, what it returns, and whether it is free or paid. TensorFeed exposes 100+ AI-ecosystem data and signed-verdict endpoints; the core ones are also dedicated tools, but the full catalog is reachable here and callable over HTTP (paid ones via x402 or a credits token). Free, no auth. Use this first when no dedicated tool obviously fits.get_ai_statusGet the real-time operational status of major AI services (Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, Mistral, Cohere, Replicate, Hugging Face), including per-component breakdowns and an operational/degraded/down rollup per provider. One cross-provider status call instead of checking each vendor's status page, useful before an agent routes a request to a model that may be impaired. Free, no auth.is_service_downCheck whether one named AI service (e.g. "claude", "openai", "gemini", "mistral", "cohere", "hugging face", "replicate") is currently operational, degraded, or down, with its component-level breakdown. Matches on service or provider name and lists available services if there is no match, so an agent can gate a call on live status before sending traffic. Free, no auth.get_model_pricingGet AI model pricing across major providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Meta, Mistral, Cohere) in one normalized table: input and output price per 1M tokens, context window, and release date per model. One cross-provider comparison instead of scraping six pricing pages, so an agent can pick the cheapest model that fits its context and budget. Free, no auth.account_statusCheck the configured TensorFeed token: current credit balance plus recent per-endpoint usage (last 100 calls aggregated). Free, but requires TENSORFEED_TOKEN.route_verdictTensorFeed's signed model-routing decision: the single best model for a task or named model, fused from live pricing, contamination-discounted benchmarks, real production usage, measured p95 latency, incident state, and deprecation flags, with the reasoning. tier='preview' (default) is free (10 calls per day per IP), top verdict only. tier='full' costs 1 credit ($0.02), adds ranked runners-up, constraint filters, and an AFTA-signed receipt you can audit, and needs a TENSORFEED_TOKEN. Get credits at tensorfeed.ai/developers/agent-payments.provider_reliability_verdictTensorFeed's signed dependability ruling over its OWN measured latency and availability probes of the frontier AI providers: the single most-dependable provider to build on and the riskiest, scoring availability and tail consistency (p50 over p95) equally because an agent retry loop feels the tail, not the median. tier='preview' (default) is free (10 calls per day per IP), top verdict only. tier='full' costs 1 credit ($0.02), adds the full per-provider ranking with measured availability and p50/p95/p99 and tail spread plus an AFTA-signed receipt, and needs a TENSORFEED_TOKEN. Get credits at tensorfeed.ai/developers/agent-payments.x402_settlement_verdictTensorFeed's signed ruling on the state of the x402 USDC settlement market on Base, computed over its OWN on-chain settlement index: market momentum versus the prior window of equal length, concentration, and the leading publisher. Covers the publishers TensorFeed indexes on Base, forward-only from launch. tier='preview' (default) is free (10 calls per day per IP), headline verdict only. tier='full' costs 1 credit ($0.02), adds the full per-publisher ranking with volume share, ecosystem totals, the Herfindahl concentration index, an optional window, and an AFTA-signed receipt, and needs a TENSORFEED_TOKEN. Get credits at tensorfeed.ai/developers/agent-payments.x402_publisher_verdictTensorFeed's signed trust verdict on one x402 publisher, over its OWN on-chain settlement index: whether a named publisher domain is actively settling, recently quiet, registered with no settlement, unreachable, missing a Base payTo, or not indexed. Requires a domain. tier='preview' (default) is free (10 calls per day per IP), the trust verdict only. tier='full' costs 1 credit ($0.02), adds the 30-day settlement momentum, the shared-wallet risk flag, the settlement evidence (volume, count, last settled), and an AFTA-signed receipt, and needs a TENSORFEED_TOKEN. Get credits at tensorfeed.ai/developers/agent-payments.stack_safety_verdictTensorFeed's deploy gate for an AI software stack: pass each package as comma-separated name@version and get the overall BLOCK / HOLD / PASS / UNKNOWN gate plus a per-package verdict, fusing the ingested AI-stack CVE batch with the CISA KEV catalog. Conservative by design: BLOCK only on an exploited CVE with no fix, HOLD when a known CVE applies and you must verify your version, PASS on no match, UNKNOWN outside the curated AI-stack cohort. tier='preview' (default) is free (10 calls per day per IP), caps at 3 packages, gate plus worst offender. tier='full' costs 1 credit ($0.02), raises the cap to 10 packages, adds the matched-CVE evidence (ids, affected ranges, fixed versions, KEV status) and an AFTA-signed receipt, and needs a TENSORFEED_TOKEN. Get credits at tensorfeed.ai/developers/agent-payments.benchmark_trust_verdictTensorFeed's signed ruling on whether an AI benchmark is still a trustworthy capability signal or saturated, contaminated, or near ceiling so a high score should be down-weighted: a trust band (reliable, use_with_caution, saturated, contaminated, deprecated) and a 0-100 trust score per benchmark. Pass benchmark to narrow to one, or category to filter, or neither for the registry. tier='preview' (default) is free (10 calls per day per IP), top verdict and bands only. tier='full' costs 1 credit ($0.02), adds the per-signal detail (ceiling proximity, frontier compression, contamination), a down-weight recommendation with an alternative benchmark, and an AFTA-signed receipt, and needs a TENSORFEED_TOKEN.
