Paper search for your research agent

Give your agent a tool that finds papers, their citations and authors through the Semantic Scholar API, and links the arXiv preprint when there is one.

For your agent: agent.md

Steps

  1. Call the Academic Graph paper search with only the fields you need (title, year, citation count, external ids).
  2. Follow citations and references for the papers the user picks.
  3. When a paper has an arXiv id, link its arXiv abstract page.

Watch out

  • Without a key all callers share one rate pool, so retry with backoff; a free key gives a steady rate.
  • Credit Semantic Scholar; keep to one request every three seconds on arXiv.
