Citation Check
Server Details
Free mechanical checks for AI text: unnamed counts, dangling references, bad arithmetic, misquotes.

Scored across 1 tool
There is only one tool, so there is zero chance of an agent selecting the wrong operation. The single tool's purpose is clearly described, and no overlapping tool boundaries exist.
With only one tool named citation_check, naming is trivially consistent. The snake_case name is clear and accurately reflects the server's purpose, following a recognizable verb_noun pattern.
A single tool is borderline-thin, but the description reveals that it bundles seven distinct checks plus demo and external-verification modes into one call. The core workflow is fully covered, but the server functions as a monolith rather than a modular tool set.
The seven checks thoroughly cover the self-referential citation domain, and the ground=true mode extends coverage to external sources. Minor gaps include the inability to run individual checks in isolation and external verification being gated behind a prepaid key.

Input schema / properties / ground / descriptionPrevious value: -"Also fetch each cited source and compare the claim against what it actually says. Requires a key: the free tier is mechanical only and no model reads your text there."New value: +"Also fetch each cited source and compare the claim against what it actually says. Requires a key: the free tier is mechanical only and no model reads your text. WHAT THIS SENDS: when ground is true, the sentences being tested — verbatim from your document — and the retrieved source text are transmitted to a language-model provider that performs the comparison for us (Anthropic PBC, United States). Not the whole document, and never on the free pass there." - added
Input schema / properties / urlAdded value: +{ + "description": "OPTIONAL alternative to text: a public https address of the document to check — the tool fetches it (200 KB cap, 3 url-borne documents a day on their own counter) and runs the same checks. The answer names the address and byte count, because the verdict is about the fetched copy at fetch time. Send text OR url, never both. Nothing fetched is stored.", + "type": "string" +}

No model reads your text. It says NOTHING about whether a claim is true or supported, and an unreachable source is not a broken link — many sites refuse automated readers and serve browsers normally. This is machine-verifiability. 3 documents/day, on its own counter.", + "type": "boolean" +}
