Managed execution
Every figure below is read from the live Politico endpoint catalog — 4 endpoints, 6 documented request parameters, and 4 published response schemas — the same catalog Docs and Playground run against.
4 documented Politico endpoints, grouped into 4 request families — Article, Categories and Headlines, plus 1 more.
6 request parameters are documented across those Politico endpoints, 6 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
4 of the 4 Politico endpoints carry a documented response schema, so the JSON shape is known before you write any parsing code.
Politico endpoints document their error responses (400, 404, 429 and 503) alongside the success schema, so a block, a rate limit, or a missing record comes back as a typed error rather than silently empty data.
4 hosted MCP tools back the Politico endpoints, so an agent can call the same routes with the same parameters and the same JSON contract, with no custom glue.

The article endpoint returns title, description, publication and update times, authors, image URL, and the full ordered paragraph list from the covered public Politico News template.
No. The integration covers regular public Politico News pages and does not attempt to access the separate paid Politico Pro product, account state, subscriber-only material, private newsletters, or personalized feeds. Unknown templates fail closed instead of returning partial records.
