The polling loop for a news-watching agent. First call: omit `since` — you get the current page plus a `next_cursor`. Every later call: pass that `next_cursor` as `since` and receive ONLY articles ingested after it, oldest first, plus the next cursor to store. Follow the whole pile (optionally one `category`) or a curated high-signal `topic` tape (ai, crypto). The pile refreshes every 15 minutes (`suggested_interval_seconds`); dedupe by article `id`, and by `cluster_id` to keep one record per story. A poll with nothing new is still a complete answer (new_count 0, cursor unchanged). Full loop + a paying Node poller: /skills/news.md. Paid: call without x_payment to receive this call's exact terms (amount, asset, network), sign them, then call again with x_payment. The free `pricing` tool lists every price at once.
