npr

A search and reading tool for NPR, a major U.S. public radio and news organization. It can find articles and retrieve their full text, topics, authors, dates, and images.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search articles by keyword, retrieve a specific article, browse current top stories, and research topics such as health using section filters.
Why use it?
It lets a coding agent locate relevant news and read complete articles instead of relying only on headlines or summaries.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

npr scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (adapters/npr.ts), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

  2. getArticle(objectID) → full bodyText, topics, bylines

Get today's top stories

  1. getTopStories()objectID, title, displayDate
  2. getArticle(objectID) → full bodyText, topics, image

Research a topic

  1. searchArticles(query, hitsPerPage: 20)objectID, title, topics
  2. Filter by topic using filters: "type:story AND topics:\"Health\"" for section-specific results
  3. getArticle(objectID) → full bodyText, bylines

Operations

Operation Intent Key Input Key Output Notes
searchArticles find articles by keyword query objectID, title, bodyText, bylines, displayDate entry point, paginated (page 0-indexed)
getArticle full article content objectID ← searchArticles/getTopStories bodyText (full), title, bylines, topics, image body is plain text
getTopStories latest front page stories objectID, title, bodyText, displayDate, topics entry point, pre-filtered to homepage stories

Quick Start

# Search for articles
openweb npr exec searchArticles '{"query": "artificial intelligence"}'

# Get a specific article (use objectID from search results)
openweb npr exec getArticle '{"objectID": "nx-s1-5777587"}'

# Get latest top stories
openweb npr exec getTopStories '{}'

# Search with pagination
openweb npr exec searchArticles '{"query": "economy", "hitsPerPage": 20, "page": 1}'
Files

What ships with it

8 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

npr is a skill published in the GitHub repository imoonkey/openweb (56 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 459 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
