search_papers

Search Scholar Feed's 600k+ CS/AI/ML paper corpus. Semantic (embedding) search by default, so it finds conceptually related work even when the wording differs. EVERY PARAMETER DOCUMENTS ITS OWN BEHAVI…

get_paper

Get full details for one or more papers by arXiv ID. Pass a single-element array for one paper; pass multiple IDs to batch-fetch up to 50 papers in one call. Pass format='bibtex' to get a .bib citatio…

get_citations

Get the citation graph for a paper, sorted by citing-paper rank_score (highest-impact first). 'citing' = outgoing references this paper cites; 'cited_by' = incoming citations from other papers. Defaul…

fetch_fulltext

Extract paper content from an arXiv paper's LaTeX source, falling back to PDF text. Two modes: 'results' (default) returns ~800 chars of results/experiments + up to 3 table captions — lean, ideal for …

find_author

Two-mode author tool. Provide exactly one of q or id. Q-MODE (q=...): search for researchers by topic or name — uses embedding similarity for topics ('efficient LLM inference'), fuzzy matching for nam…

co_author_graph

Find the co-authorship neighborhood of one or more authors. Given a list of author_ids, returns edges {from, to, papers_count, last_collab_year} where 'from' is one of the input authors and 'to' is an…

embed_text

Embed a text string into a 768-dim Gemini Flash vector. Use for HyDE-style retrieval: (1) write a hypothetical short paper that would perfectly answer the user's query, (2) embed it with task_type='RE…

get_field_orientation

Returns CANDIDATE FOUNDATIONAL PAPERS for a research topic — cheap retrieval only, no synthesis. Ranks papers by a blend of citation count (0.6 weight, captures importance) and semantic similarity to …

get_foundational_lineage

Returns the FOUNDATIONAL WORK FOR A PAPER'S NICHE via the citation graph — the relative question ('what is foundational for THIS paper's specific sub-field', often itself only modestly cited) rather t…

save_paper

Save a paper to the authenticated user's Scholar Feed library (bookmark). MUTATES the library and feeds the user's personalization — saved papers are the strongest signal in the For You feed and the e…

unsave_paper

Remove a paper from the authenticated user's Scholar Feed library. MUTATES the library. Idempotent: removing a paper that isn't saved leaves it unsaved. Note: the saved library is a superset of all co…

like_paper

Like a paper — a 'more like this' calibration signal that tunes the user's For You feed toward similar work. INSERT-only and idempotent (liking twice is a no-op, never un-likes). Distinct from save_pa…

list_library

List the authenticated user's saved papers (their library), newest first. Read-only. Use this to review a reading list or to see what's already saved before saving more. Requires SF_API_KEY. SHAPE: ag…

list_collections

List the authenticated user's collections (named groups of saved papers) with paper counts. Read-only. Use before add_to_collection to see existing collections. Requires SF_API_KEY.

create_collection

Create a new named collection. MUTATES. If a collection with that name already exists, returns the existing one (get-or-create — never errors on duplicate). Use "/" to nest under a folder, e.g. "Agent…

add_to_collection

Add a paper to a collection, addressed by collection_id OR collection_name (get-or-create by name — no need to look up an id first). Nest with "/": collection_name "AgentOPA/Formal" files the paper un…

remove_from_collection

Remove a paper from a collection, addressed by collection_id OR collection_name. MUTATES (the paper stays in your library; it's only removed from this collection). Idempotent. Requires SF_API_KEY.

create_watch

Create a standing watch — evaluated daily against newly-indexed papers, surfacing new matches via the email digest and via check_watches. MUTATES. Get-or-create by name (re-creating with an existing n…

list_watches

List the authenticated user's watches with name, a one-line definition summary, last_evaluated_at, and pending_hits (count of new matches since the last digest delivery). Read-only. Use before create_…

check_watches

Pull new matching papers since the last digest delivery, in the same shape as search_papers results. Optionally scope to one watch by watch_name OR watch_id; omit both for all watches. Read-only and i…

delete_watch

Delete a watch, addressed by watch_id OR name. MUTATES. Idempotent: deleting a non-existent watch is a no-op (no error). To change a watch in place (rename / novelty_min / retarget criteria) use updat…

update_watch

Update an existing watch in place — rename, change novelty_min, or RETARGET its structured filter `criteria`. MUTATES. Address by watch_id OR name. Changing criteria replaces the definition and clears…

preview_watch

Dry-run a structured filter over recent papers WITHOUT creating a watch — the tuning loop. Returns {window_days, needs_similarity, match_count, sample} so you can iterate (add a category, raise min_no…

find_gaps

Find important work you HAVEN'T saved, for a collection or topic — a 'what am I missing?' analysis. Returns two buckets: foundational_gaps (canonical citation-graph anchors in the niche, not in your l…

ask_library

Answer a question using ONLY the papers you've saved — a synthesis over your library (or one collection) with inline [arXiv-ID] citations. The inverse of find_gaps (which finds important work you're M…

annotate_paper

Record YOUR verdict on a paper — why it matters for your work, when to use it, or why you ruled it out. One note per paper, upserted (writing again replaces it), so it is safe to call repeatedly. Requ…

check_drift

Answers 'for my problem, is the method I use superseded — and by what?' over a grounded, entity-resolved knowledge base of textual critique receipts + benchmark-dominance edges (no LLM call at query t…
