Retrieve recent news articles for a company including title, publisher, link, and related tickers. Handles cases where news API fails silently and reports data freshness.
AI agents call get_company_news to retrieve information from Yfnhanced without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a simple data retrieval operation from a news API. It queries existing public news content and returns structured information without any side effects, reversible modifications, or irreversible changes. The 'handles cases where news API fails silently' clause indicates error handling for read operations, not data manipulation.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Retrieve[s] recent news articles' with no mention of modification, deletion, execution, or financial transactions. The tool only gathers and returns news data (title, publisher, link, tickers).

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Yfnhanced, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_company_news:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_company_news": {}
}
} get_company_news is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
