  • check_referenceWhether a reference resolves to a real work.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    • The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Whether a reference resolves to a real work. Use when an answer is about to cite a paper. Give a DOI, an arXiv id or the reference as written. Answers found, confirm (with the reason), not found in the named sources on a date, or couldn't check. A not-found is not proof a work was never published.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
