Press distribution is one of the few things where a mistake is genuinely permanent: a release goes out to a wire and cannot be recalled. Having a preview step distinct from submission, and handing the image upload to the user via a link rather than the agent handling files, both push the irreversible parts towards a human. That said, buy_publication_placement and buy_pr_package do place real orders that cost money, so the boundary between research and purchase is the one to be deliberate about when deciding what an agent may do here unsupervised.
A marketplace client for press-release distribution covering the whole path: directory research on agencies and publications, package browsing, quote requests, ordering, content submission and order tracking.
- Directory research on both sides — search and open agencies and newswires, search and open the publications available for placement.
- get_agency_rankings returns the top-ranked agencies, with the ranking described as based on verified criteria rather than on paid position.
- Packages browsable with their details, so a bundled distribution can be compared against a single placement.
- request_quote_from_agency notifies the agency rather than returning a price, which is the correct shape for bespoke work.
- Two purchase paths — a publication placement and a distribution package — and both are described as collecting the full order details.
- Fulfilment after the order: preview the content before final submission, submit the article or release, get an upload link to pass to the user for the featured image, and check status by order token.
- submit_press_release posts to the Online.PR newsroom itself, separate from a paid placement.
Nothing to supply for research. The purchase tools place real orders, and the image upload is handled by giving the user a link rather than by the agent moving the file.
