What it does

• TweetRank — PageRank-inspired credibility scoring. Weights bookmarks > quotes > likes > retweets. Detects coordinated shill raids.
• Multi-signal token detection — Cashtags, plain name phrases, pump.fun/dexscreener URLs, contract addresses with context-window scoring.
• X article support — Full text extraction for long-form posts (>280 chars) at no extra API cost.
• Tool discovery — Suggests follow-up actions using available MCP tools (DeFi Llama, Backpack, Polymarket).
• Cost-optimized — Quick mode default (~$0.10/search, 20 tweets), aggressive caching, auto noise filters.
