A3.9/5.0

Scored across 8 tools

Disambiguation3/5

Most tools have distinct jobs (appraise scores candidates, quote probes a 402 toll, check_citations verifies references, trace_passage detects verbatim reuse), but naulon_survey is an outright alias of naulon_search, and naulon_discover / naulon_search / naulon_retrieve all read as 'find sources for a topic and price them'. The descriptions do heavy lifting to separate the search-family tools, but an agent still has to read carefully to pick correctly.

Naming Consistency4/5

All names share the naulon_ prefix and snake_case verb-first style (appraise, discover, search, retrieve, quote, check_citations, trace_passage). The only deviation is single-verb names mixed with verb_noun names, which is minor and still highly predictable.

Tool Count4/5

Eight tools is a well-scoped size for a discovery/pricing layer, and each covers a real step (discover, search, appraise, price, verify, trace). The count is slightly inflated by naulon_survey, which is pure duplication of naulon_search rather than an earned slot.

Completeness4/5

The surface covers the full pre-purchase lifecycle: discover candidates, appraise relevance, price the toll, preview a papers run, verify citations, and trace reuse. The one real dead end is that nothing on the server actually fetches or buys content (even for gated:false free reads), so the workflow always terminates in an external step documented only by a link.

Available Tools

8 tools
naulon_appraiseAppraise candidates for a topicA
Read-only
Inspect

Score how relevant each candidate is to the topic, from its free teaser alone — a 0..1 relevance plus a one-line rationale. Pass the candidates you got from naulon_discover (or a curated subset), and pass them back WHOLE — matchedInBody / matchedSemantic tell the scorer WHY the search returned each one, and dropping them makes a body-matched source with a terse teaser look identical to a near-miss with a keyword-ish one. FREE: it reads the teaser and those flags, never paid content, and it fetches and pays for nothing. Use it to decide what is worth quoting.

Inputs: topic (required), candidates (required). Returns: appraised

naulon_check_citationsCheck citations (free)A
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

FREE. For up to 25 references (a DOI, PMID, PMCID, arXiv id, or the reference as written), say whether each work exists and whether it was retracted, withdrawn, corrected or put under an expression of concern. Use it before you cite. Facts from Crossref and Retraction Watch; no judgement of the research. For a retracted or withdrawn citation, up to three reviews and trials that cite it are suggested; for an unfound one, up to three papers on its subject; each with its licence.

Inputs: references (required). Returns: _notice, results, provenAnswer

naulon_discoverDiscover tollable sourcesA
Read-only
Inspect

Find candidate essays for a topic from the configured publisher (a live RSS feed or a catalog endpoint — set RSS_URL, PUBLISHER_URL, or CATALOG_URL, or use the hosted endpoint). Returns FREE public teasers only — slug, title, and summary — with no content and no payment. Call this first to see what is available before appraising or quoting. If no source is configured it refuses with setup guidance rather than inventing sources. A candidate may carry WHY it matched: matchedInBody means your terms are inside the paid text but NOT in the title or teaser (strong — the teaser just does not show it), matchedSemantic means only that it is near your query in meaning and your terms are absent (weak: judge the teaser, and set aside one that is off-topic). NEITHER flag set means one of two opposite things, so read it against the rest of the response: if any OTHER candidate here carries a flag, this source searches, and no flag is the STRONGEST result of all — your terms matched the title or teaser, which is why no body-only or semantic explanation was needed. If NO candidate in the response carries a flag, the source does not search (a plain RSS feed), and the absence says nothing at all — judge every candidate on its teaser. Discovery returns the best available matches, never a promise that any of them answers your question.

Inputs: topic (required). Returns: note, refused, candidates

naulon_quoteQuote the toll (free price probe)A
Read-only
Inspect

Probe the real x402 toll for a source WITHOUT paying — the free 402 price check. Returns the author price, the buyer's true total (when the publisher adds extra settlement legs such as an operator fee, the total is higher than the author price), and the settlement terms. gated:false means one thing only — the origin answered 2xx, so it is a genuinely free read you may just fetch. Anything else returns refused:true with the reason in note: a refusal to reach the url (off-gate identity, or operator policy such as a kill-switch or deny-list), a 404, an unreachable origin, or a malformed 402. A refused url is NEITHER payable nor free — do not fetch it and do not report it as free; retry or fix the url.

Inputs: slug (required), url. Returns: legs, note, asset, gated, +8 more

naulon_retrievePrice a papers run (free preview)A
Read-only
Inspect

Preview a papers run for a question, free. Lists the CC0, CC BY, CC BY-SA or public-domain works that could answer it and the price of each mode (answer, retrieve). This tool never pays and never runs the answer. Prices only: nothing on this server buys. How buying works: https://naulon.app/docs/for-buyers

Inputs: question (required), mode. Returns: how, why, fees, mode, +3 more

naulon_surveySurvey tolled sources for a question (free)A
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

The older name for naulon_search: same tool, same result. New callers use naulon_search. FREE. Search the naulon catalogue for a question and get every matching source priced, with its public summary, url, and a verdict on whether it answers the question and what reading it would add. Prices only: nothing on this server buys. How buying works: https://naulon.app/docs/for-buyers

Inputs: question (required), papers. Returns: next, quote, covers, papers, +9 more

naulon_trace_passageTrace a passage (free)A
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

FREE. Find which naulon publisher pages a passage was copied from, word for word. Returns each page's title, url, and whether it holds most of the passage or part of it, plus how many Citation Licenses the page has sold where its publisher shows that. It detects verbatim reuse only, not paraphrase or training. Send 40 words to 5000 characters.

Inputs: text (required). Returns: _notice, matches, searched
