Tools of Palimpsest — censorship, China economy and model-eval observatory
	Description		Read-only	Idempotent	Open world
`get_newsroom`Read one evidence-first reporting surface without scraping a page or guessing a filename. Views: 'newsroom' for prioritized deterministic stories, 'wire' for normalized source dossiers, 'economy' for the currently restricted China economic pulse, 'machine-analysis' for the currently restricted AnalysisReports and AbstentionReports, 'investigations' for review-gated research leads, 'editorial-readiness' for publication gates, and 'interconnection' for named-key fat-object joins on China situation events (topic-surface-only, never wire corroboration). The economy, machine-analysis and interconnection views are metadata-only until a lineage-filtered rebuild removes denied derivatives. Availability never implies publication readiness: statuses, gates, counterevidence, limitations and right-to-reply state stay attached.

`get_signal`Read one named signal. Permitted signals return their bounded latest payload; China-economic signals in the denied lineage closure return explicit restricted/unavailable rights metadata and no values. Call list_signals first to discover valid names. Use this for the AI-model-evaluation side too: 'eval-registry' returns the pre-registered, hash-chained eval ledger with its verified flag and Merkle root, 'gfi-transcripts' returns a bounded view of the complete GFI v2 response matrix, and 'refusal-drift' returns the current frontier-model refusal reading on the frozen benign probe set; read 'eval-assurance' before turning either into a validity claim, and 'eval-journal' for the evidence-bound explanation and source receipts, or 'eval-findings' for the current deterministic article edition. Distinct from gfw_reading, which merges the two Great Firewall layers into one combined view.	Read one named signal.

`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. Takes no arguments. A combined convenience view. For one layer's full raw payload use get_signal with 'ooni-gfw' or 'generative-firewall-index'.

`inspect_economic_publication_rights`Inspect publication-rights metadata for China economic evidence. Returns the policy digest, UTC evaluation clocks, per-source decisions and published-record status. Takes no arguments and never reads or returns observation rows, derived signals or replacement values. A denied publication decision remains a restriction, not a zero observation.

`list_signals`List every published signal Palimpsest exposes across its three applications: name, one-line description and source URL for each. Censorship and information control: OONI Great Firewall probes, Censored Planet, IODA outages, circumvention demand, takedown and redaction pressure, and the board's own verdict. China economics: explicit metadata-only rights status for affected observations, pulse, forecast and derivative surfaces; no denied values are returned. AI model evaluation: the tamper-evident, pre-registered eval registry (hash-chained and Merkle-rooted), its claim-by-claim assurance ceiling, evidence-bound Eval Journal, deterministic live findings, and frontier-model refusal drift, alongside the Generative Firewall Index over a named China-focused panel. Takes no arguments. Call this first to discover signal names, then get_signal for one full reading.

`research_catalog`Discover every Palimpsest dataset, including the latest China economic histories, external trade, regional research, information controls and model evaluations. Paginated metadata retains source clocks, rights and access states. Includes the Seiche research_network handoff for funding, institution and market-liquidity context; values are not copied.

`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. Takes no arguments. Use this instead of fetching signals individually and reconciling them yourself; then use get_signal to drill into whichever signal moved. Scope note: this is the censorship board. For the AI-model-evaluation side use get_signal with 'eval-registry', 'eval-assurance' or 'refusal-drift'.
