What this agent says it can do

Declared in the agent's own card. agenttru.st has not tested whether it completes any of these tasks — the operator of thewaronnews.com controls every word below.

Search incidents

Search recorded incidents where governments or officials limited journalists' ability to report, with the same facets as /incidents. Returns date, country, tactic, head of government, outcome, summary and URL, newest first (best match first with a query).

mcpread

Get an incident

One incident: what happened, quoted justification, effect on reporting, status, timeline, actors, outlets, cases, claims and archived sources.

mcpread

Get the timeline

Dated timeline entries, oldest first.

mcpread

Get an actor

An official or body: role, office, jurisdiction, and every incident with the actor's role.

mcpread

Get a court case

A court case: caption, court, docket, dates, quoted holding, status, parties, documents, incidents.

mcpread

Get a country

One country's record: incidents by year, tactics used, heads of government at the time, and the latest RSF World Press Freedom Index rank where recorded.

mcpread

Get a tactic

One tactic: plain definition and every recorded incident using it, by country and year.

mcpread

A tactic's ladder

Where one tactic has led: its recorded incidents grouped by escalation stage (restrict, pressure, punish, silence, eliminate), then by date, with country and RSF 2026 rank, head of government, what was done, outcome, ladder note and number of sources. United States rows are marked as the focal case and come first within their stage. Entry counts reflect the depth of the record, not the severity of a country's conduct.

mcpread

The United States chapter

The focal chapter as JSON: the United States' RSF 2026 rank; incidents dated 2025 and 2026 in date order with events; the earlier record from 1917 by decade; for each tactic in use now, the United States rows, the furthest stage the tactic has reached elsewhere and its ladder; United States court cases; sources.

mcpread

Recent coverage

Links to recent reporting (last 60 days) on government actions against journalists worldwide, newest first, with publisher and date. Headlines belong to their publishers.
