    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
    Which exam paper is a topic on? The canonical student revision question ("is electricity paper 2 AQA?" — answer: no, Paper 1). Input a topic plus optional board/subject/level; returns the paper, sibling topics on that paper, spec code, and the official spec URL. Knows quirks like AQA Combined Science Trilogy Physics Paper 2 having no Space physics. Coverage: AQA GCSE Physics (8463); AQA GCSE Biology (8461); AQA GCSE Chemistry (8462); AQA GCSE Combined Science: Trilogy (8464); AQA GCSE Mathematics (8300).
