# News Bot
News Bot is the execution-capable OpenTool template for gateway-backed news signals.
## What it does
- Reads a configured event or proposition signal from the gateway-backed news system.
- Maps validated news outcomes to explicit buy / close / hold decisions.
- Can submit standardized Hyperliquid orders when execution is enabled.
- Supports direct `asOf` replay and checkpoint-style backtests.
- Exposes `backtest.decisions` for the existing strategy backtest runner.
## What it does not do
- No local event heuristics.
- No hidden alias map for market symbols.
- No options-style hedge engine; downside protection must be expressed through execution/risk policy.
## Default example
- Proposition: `Is the US still at war with Iran?`
## Setup
- Configure the tool through `OPENTOOL_PUBLIC_NEWS_BOT_CONFIG`.
- Set `OPENPOND_GATEWAY_URL` so the template can reach the gateway news endpoints.
- Enable execution only after confirming the configured asset and trade policy are correct.
