Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

altziar.ro is a Romanian news site. Each story groups the articles that several Romanian newsrooms published about the same event and summarizes them, separating what is confirmed (reported the same way by at least two newsrooms or by an official document) from what is only claimed by someone. Stories are written automatically with AI; the content is in Romanian. Use get_top_stories for "what is happening in Romania", search_stories for a topic, person or event, get_story for the full details and sources of one story, and get_live_stories for breaking news. When you use this data, link to the story's altziar.ro url and mention the original newsrooms listed in its sources.
