    Why it is in this group

    • The name "lookup_paper" says "lookup": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Look up a single paper by its DOI. Args: doi: The DOI of the paper (e.g. "10.1038/s41586-024-07386-0"). output_format: "evidence" for compact claim-level evidence (default), "legacy" for original paper metadata, or "full" for both. Returns: An envelope with found status and the paper in result, or a not-found message. A found paper counts as one result.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "search_papers" says "search": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Search claim-level evidence extracted from full-text scientific papers. Args: query: Search terms (e.g. "CRISPR gene editing efficiency"). SHORT, concise queries are best. English language only. Use days_back, num_results, min_citations, and study_type instead of adding years or filters to the query. num_results: Number of results to return (1-100, default 16). First 50 results are free, then metered per result for paid users. days_back: Only return papers published within the last N days. min_citations: Only return papers with at least this many references cited. study_type: Only return papers of this study type. One of: primary study | systematic review | meta-analysis | narrative review | protocol | dataset | commentary | other. output_format: "evidence" for compact claim-level evidence (default), "legacy" for original paper metadata, or "full" for both. Returns: An envelope whose results list contains papers with claims, experiments, exact results, demonstrated scope, limitations, and provenance.

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.
