Category & Scope

Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Tensorfeed Tools (24)

get_ai_news

Get 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_data

Discover 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_status

Get 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.
