list_signals — List every published signal Palimpsest exposes across its three applications: name, one-line description and source URL for each.
get_signal — Read the full latest published reading of one named signal: the raw payload with its generated_at timestamp, method scope and upstream sources, exactly as served on palimpsest.
get_newsroom — Read one evidence-first reporting surface without scraping a page or guessing a filename.
whats_happening — 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.
gfw_reading — 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.
