Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| search_academicA | Search across 15+ academic databases in parallel. Returns deduplicated papers with metadata, DOIs, citations, and open access info. Supports year filtering, field selection, and language preferences. |
| search_by_doiA | Look up a single paper by its DOI. Returns full metadata from CrossRef, Unpaywall, and other sources. |
| search_citationsB | Find papers that cite a given paper (backward citation tracking). Useful for tracing research impact. |
| search_referencesB | Get the reference list of a given paper (forward citation tracking). Shows what papers the given paper cites. |
| analyze_literatureB | Analyze a collection of papers to identify research gaps, main themes, methodological trends, temporal patterns, and controversial topics. |
| validate_citationsA | Bidirectional validation between in-text citations and the references list. Detects orphan citations, missing references, malformed entries, and DOI issues. |
| extract_keywordsB | Extract key terms and concepts from paper abstracts using TF-IDF and co-occurrence analysis. |
| generate_comparison_tableA | Create a comparison table of selected papers across specified dimensions (e.g., method, sample size, findings). Outputs a PNG image. |
| generate_trend_chartA | Generate publication trend charts — yearly counts, citation distributions, source breakdown, and journal quartile distribution. Outputs PNG images. |
| generate_citation_networkA | Visualize the citation network as a directed graph. Node size = citation count, color = year. Top 10 most influential nodes are labeled. Outputs PNG. |
| write_sectionC | Write a specific section of the manuscript in formal academic style with proper in-text citations. Sections: introduction, literature_review, methodology, results, discussion, conclusion. |
| format_references_apa7B | Format a list of papers into APA 7th Edition reference list entries. Handles all author-count rules, DOI formatting, italics, and alphabetical ordering. |
| build_docxA | Assemble all sections, figures, tables, and references into a final .docx manuscript. Uses Times New Roman 12pt, double spacing, 1-inch margins (APA standard). Performs quality checks before output. |
| check_api_statusA | Check which academic API sources are currently configured and available. Shows which APIs have valid keys and which require setup. |

Scored across 14 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose covering different aspects of academic research and manuscript creation. There is no overlap or ambiguity between tools like search_academic, search_by_doi, search_citations, and search_references.
All 14 tools follow a consistent verb_noun naming pattern (e.g., analyze_literature, build_docx, validate_citations), making it easy to infer functionality from the name.
14 tools are well-scoped for the server's purpose of academic literature analysis and manuscript generation. Each tool contributes meaningfully without being excessive or insufficient.
The tool set covers the full workflow: searching literature, analyzing trends, generating visualizations, writing sections, formatting references, building final document, and validating citations. No obvious gaps are present.
