What it can do

The tools this server listed when we connected to it, in its own words.

  • get_review — Pith's review of one specific paper, in one call: the verdict, confidence, novelty and correctness scores, one-line summary, weakest assumpt
  • search_papers — Search Pith-reviewed papers by title and abstract. Call this when the user names a research topic, phenomenon, method, or paper title withou
  • latest_reviews — The papers Pith reviewed most recently, newest first. Call this when the user asks what is new, notable, or recently reviewed in a field or
  • analyze_paper_claims — The structured argument of one specific paper: what it actually asserts, the premises it assumes, the machinery connecting those premises to
  • get_claims — Alias of analyze_paper_claims: the same ledger of what the paper asserts, its premises, machinery, and falsifier, in argument order.
  • search_claims — Full-text search over every scientific claim Pith has extracted, across all reviewed papers. Call this when the user asks who claims somethi
  • get_paper_falsifier — The falsifier for one specific paper's core claim: the concrete observation, experiment, or computation that would settle or disprove it, pl
  • get_falsifier — Alias of get_paper_falsifier: the same falsifier and watcher count.
  • get_signed_reviews — Published human signed reviews of one paper: reviewer identity, axis deltas against the machine review, claim verdicts, defects, predictions
  • get_reviewer_record — A reviewer's published signed reviews and, when present, their calibration record (Brier score, open predictions, positivity skew). Call thi
  • get_record — The compiled record of one paper: the authors' own sentences, arranged with typed labels. It carries the main claim in the authors' words, e
  • resolve_paper — Turn a pasted arXiv id, arXiv URL, DOI, or Pith Number into the arXiv id the other tools key on. ``resolved`` is false when the input did no
  • paper_packet — One paper's compiled record, small enough to hold beside others: the main claim and contribution in the authors' words, each abstract senten
  • citation_neighbors — One hop from a paper: every reference entry with its resolved work identity, the papers that cite it, and, where a record exists, the citing
  • paper_bridge — Whether either paper cites the other, the resolved works both cite (on or off arXiv), and the papers that cite both.
  • paper_connections — What other arXiv papers do with this paper, and what it does with the arXiv papers it cites: builds on, uses the method or tool, uses the da
  • check_claim — Which arXiv papers support a scientific statement, which contradict it, and which study it without deciding, each with the paper's own main
  • verify_citation — Whether the cited paper's own sentences support what a sentence attributes to it: supports, partly supports (a condition is missing), contra
  • find_passages — Author sentences the classifier labeled with one role, across every stored record, each with its probability and paper. Abstract-tier record
  • record_coverage — Sources read and levels run for one paper's record, or the number of stored records by tier. Call before treating an empty result as a findi
  • my_citations — For the papers claimed on the account behind your key: how many papers cite each, whether they cite it as support, extension or disagreement
  • my_reviews — Pith's machine review verdict and the count of published signed human reviews for each paper claimed on the account behind your key. Needs a
  • check_my_draft — Resolve each reference in a draft, flag retracted works, and for arXiv papers show how later papers cite them: as support, and whether any c
  • ask_field — Read the papers closest to a question and return, for each, whether its own abstract sentences answer yes, no or not addressed, with the dec
