Category & Scope

Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Offnadir Delta MCP Tools (40)

query_signals

Geolocated world events from global news media, AI-enriched with severity/GEOINT scores and collection recommendations.

query_stats

Roll-ups over the corpus: totals plus per-category and per-day breakdown. `total` counts the same events query_signals returns, so it matches its meta.total_count for the same query.

query_hotspots

Where activity concentrates: density grid-binned into ranked cells with peak severity, categories and representative event_ids. Events too coarse to place are counted in meta.dropped_by_plottable_count, not spread over the grid.

get_world_brief

AI world brief: daily (prior UTC day, all plans) or weekly/monthly by plan. freshness.is_stale: no newer day, so relay as stale.

get_usage

The calling key's remaining token balance and plan capabilities. Pre-flight a metered call with it.
