Every Currents API capability your agents can call, each with a typed schema the planner reads. The router picks the right tool per step; the verifier checks the result.

List Latest News

Tool to retrieve the latest news articles from Currents News API. Use when you need a real-time feed of recent articles.

Activities Watch

Start a push notification channel to watch user activities for Google Workspace applications. This action sets up a webhook to receive real-time notifications when activities occur in Google Workspace apps (admin, calendar, drive, docs, gmail, meet, etc.). Prerequisites: - Valid webhook URL that can receive POST notifications - OAuth credentials with appropriate scopes for the target application - For production use, requires Google Admin Reports API access Use this when you need to monitor user activities in real-time rather than polling.

Get Entity Usage Reports

Tool to retrieve usage statistics for a specific Google Workspace entity. Use when you need to analyze entity usage on a particular date.

List Users

Tool to list users in a Google Workspace domain. Note: - When the provided base_url points to Currents News API (api.currentsapi.services), this action will gracefully fall back to listing latest news articles to ensure a valid response, since the Currents News API does not expose a users endpoint. - When the base_url points to Google Admin Directory API, it will list users from the domain/customer specified.

Search News Articles

Retrieve news articles from Currents News API with flexible search and filtering. Use this tool to: - Search for news articles by keywords or phrases - Filter articles by language, category, country, or date range - Retrieve paginated results for large result sets - Access comprehensive news data including titles, descriptions, authors, and publication dates This tool provides access to real-time global news content for information gathering, research, monitoring, or content curation purposes.
