## Tools (as reported by the server, not verified)

- `research`: 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
- `get\_element\_ri`: 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.
- `search\_subjects`: 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\["x402/payment"\]\).
- `get\_subject\_ri`: 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\["x402/payment"\]\).
- `get\_subject\_history`: 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`: 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\_element\_papers`: 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
- `lab\_quote`: 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
- `lab\_run`: Get the papers for a lab\_quote: pass its quote\_id and a depth \(papers\_20 or papers\_100\) to get the top papers matching the quoted filter, ranked by impact, with the curation behind each rank. Each paper carries its abstract where one is on file \(about 6 in 10\). A stale or expired quote is refused. R
