gdelt_news (GDELT headlines)

When to use

• Fast, free headline scan for an entity/topic.
• Background news context to seed further research (then escalate to grok_search only if needed).

Parameters

• query (string, optional): Search query. If omitted/blank, defaults to a broad breaking-news query.
  • Special-case: "ai" expands to "artificial intelligence".
  • Too-short queries (<3 chars) error (except "ai").
• limit (int, optional, 1–50): Default 20.

Examples

{ "name": "gdelt_news", "params": { "query": "tesla", "limit": 10 } }
