Output shape

Zero or more n8n items, each containing a matching mention or a GEO score drop or battlecard stub record.

Returns no items when there are no fresh matches or a GEO drop does not meet the threshold. Mention-based triggers call MentionFox's scan_for_mentions tool and keep up to 500 seen identifiers in workflow static data. High-intent scores and crisis keyword matches are calculated from mention content locally. GEO score drops include previous and current scores, the drop, threshold, full score response, and detection time. The battlecard option emits one heartbeat on its first poll, then nothing until its MCP tool is available.
