search_site
Search everything
Searches the whole publication at once and says what kind each hit is: news articles, First Light items, entity records, projects, source documents and tracker pages. This is the broad search — prefer it when the question is not already about one kind of thing, because search_articles and the other per-kind tools look only in their own kind. Matching ignores case AND accents, so "Male" finds "Malé"; a query wrapped in slashes (/min(istry|ister)/) is a regular expression. Every hit carries the canonical URL to cite. Searches the most recent 400 stories and 45 First Light editions, and all reference records. Paginates: when more results remain, the structured answer has a nextCursor (absent on the last page). To continue, call this tool again with the same arguments and cursor set to that value. The cursor moves every kind on together: each page shows the next `limit` hits of each kind.
Parametersqrequiredlanglimitcursor
search_articles
Search news articles
Full-text search of published GMM news articles (title, summary, body), newest first, with an optional desk (section slug) and date range. Partner content is excluded. Matching is the content store's: the words are matched as whole-word prefixes and accents count, so "Male" does NOT find "Malé". For a forgiving search, or one that also covers First Light, entity records, projects, documents and tracker pages, use search_site. Each result carries the canonical URL to cite. Paginates: when more results remain, the structured answer has a nextCursor (absent on the last page). To continue, call this tool again with the same arguments and cursor set to that value.
Parametersqrequiredtofromlanglimitcursorsection
list_recent_articles
List recent news articles
The newest published GMM news articles, optionally from one desk (section slug). Partner content is excluded. Paginates: when more results remain, the structured answer has a nextCursor (absent on the last page). To continue, call this tool again with the same arguments and cursor set to that value.
Parameterslanglimitcursorsection
get_article
Read one article
The full text of one published article as markdown, with headline, byline, key takeaways and references, ending in its canonical URL. Partner content is returned labelled as partner content, not GMM journalism.
Parameterslangslugrequired
get_page_markdown
Read any public page as markdown
Reads any public GMM page as clean markdown, the same text the site serves at the page address with .md appended. Use it to follow a link from another result: /news/<slug>, /partner/<slug>, /briefs/<YYYY-MM-DD>, /entities (index) and /entities/<slug> (a researched dossier), /documents and /documents/<slug>, /projects and /projects/<slug>, /sections/<slug>, /topics/<slug>, /news and the home page /. Every page ends with its canonical URL. Paths outside that set are refused with a message.
Parameterslangpathrequired
get_first_light
Read a First Light morning brief
One edition of First Light, the daily morning brief, as markdown: its key number and numbered snippets with links. Omit date for the latest published edition. Only editions already released to readers are available.
Parametersdatelang
list_first_light
List First Light editions
The archive of published First Light morning briefs, newest first, with each edition date, title and snippet count. Paginates: when more results remain, the structured answer has a nextCursor (absent on the last page). To continue, call this tool again with the same arguments and cursor set to that value.
Parameterslanglimitcursor
list_entity_categories
List the entity categories
The categories GMM files its entity records under — people, companies, institutions, places and the rest — with each one's slug and how many records it holds. Read this first when you want to narrow a search: the slug is what the `type` argument of list_entities and search_entities takes.
Parameterslang
search_entities
Search entity records
Searches GMM's researched entity records (people, companies, institutions, places) by name, role or summary. Open a match with get_entity_record. Filter by type slug. Matching is the content store's substring match and accents count, so "Male" does not find "Malé"; search_site folds accents and searches every kind at once. Paginates: when more results remain, the structured answer has a nextCursor (absent on the last page). To continue, call this tool again with the same arguments and cursor set to that value.
Parametersqrequiredlangtypelimitcursor
list_entities
List entity records
The index of GMM entity records, grouped by category (people, companies, institutions, places), optionally limited to one category slug — list_entity_categories has the slugs. Each record has a canonical URL, and says whether it carries a graded dossier. Paginates: when more results remain, the structured answer has a nextCursor (absent on the last page). To continue, call this tool again with the same arguments and cursor set to that value.
Parameterslangtypelimitcursor
get_entity_record
Read an entity dossier and its record
GMM's researched record of one entity: the dossier as markdown, plus the full record as structured data. Each fact carries a #fact-<id> anchor (cite as <canonical URL>#fact-<id>) and a grade, and the record has a recordRevision; cite both per the guide at /about/citing-gmm. This is GMM's own graded research, not company-supplied material.
Parameterslangslugrequired
search_documents
Search the source library
Searches primary-source documents (laws, budgets, contracts, reports) by title, summary or reference. Open a match with get_document. Matching is the content store's substring match and accents count; search_site folds accents and searches every kind at once. Paginates: when more results remain, the structured answer has a nextCursor (absent on the last page). To continue, call this tool again with the same arguments and cursor set to that value.
Parametersqrequiredlanglimitcursor
list_documents
List the source library
The independent source library, newest first. Company-supplied documents are not listed here. Paginates: when more results remain, the structured answer has a nextCursor (absent on the last page). To continue, call this tool again with the same arguments and cursor set to that value.
Parameterslanglimitcursor
get_document
Read a source document record
One primary-source document: issuer, reference, dates, GMM plain-language summary, the file link and the news coverage that cites it, as markdown ending in its canonical URL.
Parameterslangslugrequired
list_projects
List tracked projects
GMM project tracker: public projects with status, value, employer and contractor, newest first. Optionally one status, e.g. under-construction or delayed. Paginates: when more results remain, the structured answer has a nextCursor (absent on the last page). To continue, call this tool again with the same arguments and cursor set to that value.
Parameterslanglimitcursorstatus

One tracked project: parties, value, financing, status against schedule, variations, documents and coverage, as markdown ending in its canonical URL.
Parameterslangslugrequired

The economy tracker's catalogue: Maldives Monetary Authority statistical series grouped by theme, each with its latest figure and year-on-year change. Open one with get_tracker_series. Says so plainly if the tracker database is unavailable. Paginates: when more results remain, the structured answer has a nextCursor (absent on the last page). To continue, call this tool again with the same arguments and cursor set to that value.
