Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| search_literatureA | Search local literature. Return extracted passages, citations and explicit retrieval mode. Tags are heuristic mentions, not verified observations. Unknown sources raise an error. Filter lists use OR within each list and AND between fields. No synthesis is generated. |
| get_paperA | Get paper metadata and evidence references by ID, DOI, arXiv, bibcode or title. |
| get_sourceB | Resolve a registered canonical name, alias or internal UUID, with identity authority. |

Scored across 3 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct role: search_literature finds passages and citations, get_paper retrieves metadata by identifier, and get_source resolves identity records. Even though get_paper and get_source share a naming prefix, their descriptions make the boundary obvious.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun snake_case pattern: search_literature, get_paper, get_source. The use of search_ for discovery and get_ for targeted lookups is a predictable and readable convention.
Three tools is a well-scoped set for a read-only literature retrieval server. Each tool covers a distinct part of the workflow without unnecessary duplication or bloat.
For the apparent domain of local literature retrieval and source identity resolution, the surface is complete: search for passages, fetch paper metadata and evidence references, and resolve source identities. No obvious dead-end workflow is visible.
