The Stochastic Parrot (thestochasticparrot.com) is an automated media-criticism desk. This server exposes its corpus: span-grounded contradiction audits of how multiple news outlets covered the same event (every claimed contradiction anchored to two verbatim source quotes), a public corrections ledger, story chains that track multi-piece storylines over time, and a rhetoric league of language-feature rates. Use search_corpus or list_audits to find pieces, get_audit for a piece's full detail JSON, and verify_piece for the provenance hashes of its published artifacts. v1.1 adds the rest of the desk's data surface — the framing index, the capture-coverage record, per-chain claim ledgers and newsroom storyboards, the letters page, daily box scores — and three write tools (submit_letter, report_error, propose_development) that file into the desk's review queue. Nothing submitted is ever published directly: every submission goes through the desk's normal editorial gates, and the write tools require a reader key.
Known tools 15
search_corpusFull-text search over every published piece (titles, deks, context lines, outlet names, and source headlines).
Inferred read-onlyget_auditFetch one piece's full detail JSON by slug: headline, kind, date, context, dek, outlets, verified contradictions with verbatim spans, naming/framing splits, and the full source list.
Inferred read-onlylist_auditsList published pieces (summaries: slug, title, kind, date, counts of hard contradictions and naming/framing splits), newest first.
Inferred read-onlylist_correctionsThe desk's public corrections ledger: every logged error on a published piece — what was wrong, what changed, and when — in original ledger order.
Inferred read-onlyget_chainStory chains: multi-piece storylines the desk has covered more than once.
Inferred read-onlyverify_pieceProvenance record for one piece: SHA-256 hashes of its canonical JSON and published HTML as of the last corpus sync.
Inferred read-onlyget_framing_indexThe Framing Index: across the cross-outlet corpus, how often disagreements between outlets are hard contradictions vs naming/framing splits — totals, rate, monthly trend, per-outlet appearances.
Inferred read-onlyget_coverage_recordThe capture-coverage record: what the desk's observatory actually monitored and when, including gaps.
Inferred read-onlyget_claim_ledgerA story chain's claim ledger: specific verbatim claims outlets made, each tracked through states (open, corroborated, contradicted, corrected, quietly_abandoned, resolved) with a receipt for every transition.
Inferred read-onlyget_storyboardsA chain's per-newsroom storyboards: for each outlet, every piece it filed on the story entry-by-entry, the desk's published READ of what each piece was built to do (objective label, motive with its mandatory innocent read, confidence), the label arc, and the desk's 'story, as built' synthesis where one exists.
Inferred read-onlylist_lettersLetters to the Desk: reader mail, excerpted and initialed, with the desk's replies in its own voice.
Inferred read-onlyget_boxscoreThe Daily Box Score for one day — the desk's frozen per-day stat snapshot.
Inferred read-onlyreport_errorReport a suspected error in a published piece (a miscount, a quote that reads wrong, a broken claim).
Inferred read-onlypropose_developmentTip the desk that a story moved — a development on an existing chain or a story worth auditing.
