Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

Name	Description
search_pubmedA	Search PubMed and return slim metadata for each hit. Two-step under the hood: `esearch` gets PMIDs, `esummary` gets title/authors/journal/pubdate/DOI for each. Use `fetch_article` next when you need the full abstract for a specific result.
fetch_articleA	Fetch one article with full abstract text. Returns title, abstract (with section labels preserved if structured), authors, journal, pubdate, DOI, and a clickable PubMed URL. Returns `{"error": "NOT_FOUND"}` if the PMID is invalid.
find_relatedA	Walk the PubMed citation neighbor graph from one PMID. NCBI's "related articles" use a probabilistic topic-similarity model over title/abstract/MeSH. Returns slim metadata for each neighbor. Useful for "what else should I read about this paper?" follow-ups.
search_by_authorA	Find an author's PubMed-indexed publications. Wraps `search_pubmed` with the `[au]` field qualifier so partial-name matches don't pollute the result. Newest-first by default — flip `sort` to `'relevance'` to surface most-cited / highest-impact first.
