• get_newsroomEvidence and reporting desksread-only

  Read one evidence-first reporting surface without scraping a page or guessing a filename. Views: 'newsroom' for prioritized deterministic stories, 'wire' for normalized source dossiers, 'economy' for the currently restricted China economic pulse, 'machine-analysis' for the currently restricted AnalysisReports and AbstentionReports, 'investigations' for review-gated research leads, 'editorial-readiness' for publication gates, and 'interconnection' for named-key fat-object joins on China situation events (topic-surface-only, never wire corroboration). The economy, machine-analysis and interconne…

• get_signalOne signal's full readingread-only

  Read one named signal. Permitted signals return their bounded latest payload; China-economic signals in the denied lineage closure return explicit restricted/unavailable rights metadata and no values. Call list_signals first to discover valid names. Use this for the AI-model-evaluation side too: 'eval-registry' returns the pre-registered, hash-chained eval ledger with its verified flag and Merkle root, 'gfi-transcripts' returns a bounded view of the complete GFI v2 response matrix, and 'refusal-drift' returns the current frontier-model refusal reading on the frozen benign probe set; read 'eval…

• gfw_readingGreat Firewall: both layersread-only

  Read the Great Firewall's current state at both layers in one call: live network blocking measured inside China via OONI (website, messenger and circumvention-tool reachability) joined with model-layer censorship from the Generative Firewall Index over Chinese LLMs. Takes no arguments. A combined convenience view — for one layer's full raw payload use get_signal with 'ooni-gfw' or 'generative-firewall-index'.

• list_signalsList published signalsread-only

  List every published signal Palimpsest exposes across its three applications: name, one-line description and source URL for each. Censorship and information control — OONI Great Firewall probes, Censored Planet, IODA outages, circumvention demand, takedown and redaction pressure, and the board's own verdict. China economics — explicit metadata-only rights status for affected observations, pulse, forecast and derivative surfaces; no denied values are returned. AI model evaluation — the tamper-evident, pre-registered eval registry (hash-chained and Merkle-rooted), its claim-by-claim assurance ce…

• query_economic_observationsQuery China economic observationsread-only

  Inspect the native publication-rights status for the China-economic observation surface. The reviewed default-deny policy does not authorize redistribution of current CFETS/ChinaMoney values, so this tool returns policy digest, UTC clocks, per-source decisions and zero published-record status only. It never reads or returns observation rows, empty row arrays, derived signals, or neutral replacements. Filters are validated for contract compatibility but cannot override source rights.

• research_catalogComplete research catalog and Seiche connectionread-only

  Discover every Palimpsest dataset, including the latest China economic histories, external trade, regional research, information controls and model evaluations. Paginated metadata retains source clocks, rights and access states. Includes the Seiche research_network handoff for funding, institution and market-liquidity context; values are not copied.

• whats_happeningCross-signal board verdictread-only

  Judge whether anything is happening in Chinese censorship right now, across every signal at once: the board's own cross-signal verdict with the multiplicity paid for (false-discovery control) and coverage confounds flagged as measurement artifacts, never findings. Takes no arguments. Use this instead of fetching signals individually and reconciling them yourself; then use get_signal to drill into whichever signal moved. Scope note: this is the censorship board. For the AI-model-evaluation side use get_signal with 'eval-registry', 'eval-assurance' or 'refusal-drift'.
