refresh_podcast

Pack: pod-researcher · Connect: https://pipeworx.io/mcp (see Connect below for a single-pack URL)

No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/refresh_podcast for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Ask for one podcast’s RSS feed to be read again now rather than at its next scheduled check. Returns the show’s current state and when the refresh was queued; new episodes show up in get_podcast_profile once the feed has been read (normally within minutes). Contact routes are re-checked separately, not by this call.
