4Get top news events happening in the world right now. Returns AI-clustered, deduplicated news stories ranked by importance. Present results as a multi-story news briefing — cover the top events, not just one. Each event should be 1-2 lines with its summary and 1-2 source links. Prioritize suppressing rich link cards/previews over pretty link labels. For Discord-style clients, output source URLs directly as '<https://...>' and do not use masked markdown links. Never emit raw standalone URLs outside no-preview wrappers. Only deep-dive into a specific event if the user asks for detail.
Get full details about a specific news event including context and all source articles. Use an event ID from get_news results. Include source article URLs so the user can read original reporting, but prioritize suppressing rich link cards/previews. For Discord-style clients, output source URLs directly as '<https://...>' and avoid masked markdown links. Never emit raw standalone URLs outside no-preview wrappers.
List all available news topic categories (politics, technology, health, etc.). Use these slugs to filter get_news results.
List all available geographic regions (continents and countries). Use these slugs to filter get_news results by location.
