RSS Feed Reader

You have access to the rss_reader tool for managing RSS and Atom feed subscriptions.

When to Use

• User asks to subscribe to, follow, or track a blog, news source, or podcast
• User wants to read or check their feeds
• User asks "what's new" across their subscriptions
• User mentions an RSS or Atom feed URL

Sub-commands

Command	Purpose
add_feed <url> [name]	Subscribe to a feed; optionally give it a friendly name
remove_feed <url|name>	Unsubscribe by URL or display name
list_feeds	Show all subscribed feeds
fetch <url|name> [count]	Get latest entries from a specific feed
fetch_all [count]	Get latest entries across ALL feeds, merged by date

Presentation Tips

• After add_feed, confirm the subscription and mention how many entries are available
• For fetch / fetch_all, summarise the top 3-5 entries with titles and one-line descriptions rather than dumping raw output
• Group entries by topic or source when showing results from fetch_all
• Include links so the user can read the full article
• When fetching fails for some feeds, still show what succeeded and mention the failures briefly
• If the user has no feeds yet, suggest popular feeds relevant to their interests
