Source analysis
Profile where a source sits: how authoritative its domain/type is, what the
source is, and how fresh it is.
When to use
- A URL is about to be cited or weigh on a verdict.
- Deciding between conflicting sources (reliability triage).
- Auditing a result set before evidence extraction.
Tools used
source_analysis — analyze a URL's authority/type/freshness.get_skill — pull this skill's own definition (discovery/self-doc).
Authority/type/freshness axes
- Authority — primary/official vs. secondary vs. aggregator vs. self-published;
domain reputation.
- Type — gov, academic, vendor, documentation, news, forum, social, blog.
- Freshness — dated content vs. evergreen; last-known update.
Workflow
- For each candidate URL,
source_analysis.
- Record the classification next to the URL in your evidence set.
- Let type + freshness inform weight, but never let it fabricate evidence —
a low-authority source can still be the only one, say so.
- Re-classify if you later find the true author/publication center.
Input schema
{ "url": "str" }
Output schema
{ "url": "str", "authority": "str", "type": "str", "freshness": "str", "recommendation": "str" }
Security
Classification is an aid to judgment, not proof of truth. Never cite or assert
a source's content as fact purely on its "authoritative" label.
