Monitor recent developments on a topic and produce a chronological, source-read briefing. Use when recency or a stated time window is the core question.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# News Monitor
Find distinct recent events, read a source for every published event, and
deliver a chronological briefing.
## Tools
Before using tools, read [source-access.md](source-access.md) completely.
Use an available news-search tool, preferring a callable name ending in
`duckduckgo_news_search`. Use regular search ending in `duckduckgo_search` only to fill
coverage gaps. Read pages with a fetch tool ending in `web_fetch`. Client-added prefixes
vary, so inspect the tools in the session.
Without session tools, run the packaged CLI in an isolated environment:
```bash
uvx --python '>=3.10,<3.14' web-forager news "your query" --max-results 10 --output-format json
uvx --python '>=3.10,<3.14' web-forager fetch "https://example.com" --format markdown
```
If `uvx` cannot run packaged news search, use `ddgs` without touching the current
project environment:
```bash
uv run --no-project --python '>=3.10,<3.14' --with 'ddgs>=9.5.2' python - <<'PY'
from ddgs import DDGS
results = DDGS().news(query="your query", max_results=10)
for r in results:
print(r["date"], r["title"], r["url"], r["source"])
PY
```
If packaged page fetch fails, use Jina Reader:
```bash

How to install
mdr add cyranob/web-forager/news-monitor@sha256:c06f66782fa5859fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261010.f0671fb, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
