Tools

• get_element_papers ~392 tokens
  The top papers for one element, narrowed with keyword to one of its materials or applications (e.g. symbol='Al', keyword='aluminum nitride'; the keyword must name one of the element's topics exactly, case aside -- search_subjects finds topic names). Returns title, DOI, venue, year, citations. sort=i
• get_element_ri ~118 tokens
  Get current Research Intensity (RIS) for one of the 118 chemical elements, with a citation URL. No API key needed. Historical RI (HRI) is included with a Personal+ key.
• get_subject_history ~150 tokens
  Full yearly (or monthly) RIS/HRI history for one topic/keyword/sector. Requires a Personal+ account. Without a key, pay per call: $0.10 in USDC on Base or Solana via x402 (send the payment in _meta["x402/payment"]).
• get_subject_papers ~335 tokens
  The top papers for one research topic (resolve it with search_subjects first) -- title, DOI, venue, year, citations. Use it when asked what to READ about a specific topic, rather than how active it is. sort=impact (default) favours recent, well-cited work; sort=foundational gives the most-cited clas
• get_subject_ri ~145 tokens
  Get RI, RIS, HRI and paper count for one research topic/keyword/sector. Requires a Personal+ account -- call search_subjects first to resolve subject_type/subject_id. Without a key, pay per call: $0.01 in USDC on Base or Solana via x402 (send the payment in _meta["x402/payment"]).
• lab_quote ~312 tokens
  Scope a multi-term question with a boolean filter: +must -exclude "exact topic" (a OR b) wild* year:2015..2026, over element symbols or names and EXACT topic names (e.g. +Li +Co "solid electrolyte" -sulfide). Words that are neither are DROPPED, and wildcards can expand into unrelated fields: read `w

Each paper carries its abstract where one is on file (about 6 in 10). A stale or expired quote is refused. R
• research ~549 tokens
  CALL THIS FIRST for a literature question about chemistry, materials or physics research -- a broad one ('what matters in X') or a specific process or parameter one (a deposition condition, a property value, a defect mechanism). Send the question in plain words (q), or a paper you already know (pape
• search_subjects ~116 tokens
  Resolve a free-text query (a compound, material, or research topic) to its subject_type/subject_id for use with get_subject_ri. Free with any API key. Without a key, pay per call: $0.01 in USDC on Base or Solana via x402 (send the payment in _meta["x402/payment"]).
