## Quality 79/100 (good)

### protocol: 75 (weight 25)

- warn `protocol.modern`: newest supported version is 2025-11-25; 2026-07-28 not supported, older versions are deprecated until 2027-07-28
- n/a `protocol.stateless`: only applies to 2026-07-28 servers
- pass `protocol.transport`: streamable HTTP
- n/a `protocol.list_ttl`: only applies to 2026-07-28 servers

### authorization: n/a (weight 15)

- n/a `auth.prm`, `auth.as_metadata`, `auth.cimd`: no remote uses OAuth
- n/a `auth.secret_in_url`: no templated URL

### tool hygiene: 71 (weight 30)

- pass `tools.descriptions`: every tool has a description
- pass `tools.description_length`: descriptions are concise
- pass `tools.schemas`: every tool has an object input schema
- fail `tools.annotations`: no tool declares readOnlyHint or destructiveHint, so clients cannot tell safe calls from risky ones
- fail `tools.directory_hints`: no tool declares all four of readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint and openWorldHint; missing: citation_report (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); evidence_pack (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); evidence_pack_preview (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); …
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 2,196 tokens to load every tool
- pass `tools.api_dump`: tools are not a one-to-one API dump

### stability: 100 (weight 15)

- pass `stability.changes`: 1 tool changes in 30 days
- pass `stability.rug_pull`: no tool changed its meaning under the same name

### dependencies: n/a (weight 15)

- n/a `deps.known_vulns`, `deps.mcp_sdk_version`, `deps.resolvable`: no npm or PyPI package

- tools: 6, about 2,196 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: bdcce2abc7bbec0943ab018cb7d1f522
- tools last changed: 2026-09-26T12:35:22.915Z
- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/io.github.jmxisnext/academic-evidence-pack.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/io.github.jmxisnext/academic-evidence-pack)
- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

### Tool changes

- 2026-09-26 `evidence_pack_preview` changed (description)
  - before: Free triage for a question or topic: returns at most 3 scholarly candidates with DOI/OpenAlex IDs, authors, year, venue, source URLs, open-access location and known retraction/correction warnings. JSON only; no payment. For up to 10 candidates use evidence_pack (paid); to check references you already have use citation_report_preview.
  - after: Free triage for a question or topic: returns at most 3 scholarly candidates with DOI/OpenAlex IDs, authors, year, venue, source URLs, citation context, open-access location and known retraction/correction warnings. JSON only; no payment. Does not claim that a paper proves a statement. For up to 10 candidates use evidence_pack; to check references you already have use citation_report_preview.

## Tools (6)

- `citation_report`: Verify a bibliography. For every reference: exists, resolves, retracted/corrected/flagged, title/author/year match against the registered record, and a rule-derived fabrication risk — as a signed (Ed25519, RFC 8785 canonical JSON), byte-reproducible JSON report. Input: structured references or BibTeX. No LLM; every claim carries its source and retrieval time. Up to 50 references. Paid: $1.00 USDC per successful call via x402 (eip155:8453). An unpaid call returns the payment requirements (isError). Results carry settled / transaction / network / payer plus the signed report. Use this to check references you already have; to find papers for a question or claim, use evidence_pack_preview / evidence_pack instead.
- `citation_report_large`: Verify a bibliography. For every reference: exists, resolves, retracted/corrected/flagged, title/author/year match against the registered record, and a rule-derived fabrication risk — as a signed (Ed25519, RFC 8785 canonical JSON), byte-reproducible JSON report. Input: structured references or BibTeX. No LLM; every claim carries its source and retrieval time. Up to 75 references. Paid: $3.00 USDC per successful call via x402 (eip155:8453). An unpaid call returns the payment requirements (isError). Results carry settled / transaction / network / payer plus the signed report. Use this to check references you already have; to find papers for a question or claim, use evidence_pack_preview / evidence_pack instead. NOTE: $3.00 is above the @x402/core client's default spend cap (maxAmountPerPayment $1.00); raise it (client.setSpendControls) before calling, or the client refuses without sending anything.
- `citation_report_preview`: Free preview. Verify a bibliography. For every reference: exists, resolves, retracted/corrected/flagged, title/author/year match against the registered record, and a rule-derived fabrication risk — as a signed (Ed25519, RFC 8785 canonical JSON), byte-reproducible JSON report. Input: structured references or BibTeX. No LLM; every claim carries its source and retrieval time. Checks only the first 3 references; unsigned; no payment. Use this to check references you already have; to find papers for a question or claim, use evidence_pack_preview / evidence_pack instead.
- `citation_report_receipt`: Re-fetch a paid report you already bought, by its request_id, within the cache TTL. Free; no payment; the same signed report (request_id re-attached, unsigned, as on the paid result). Over the hosted endpoint GET /v1/citation-report/receipts/<request_id> serves the same bytes; over a local stdio run only that process can. Not found after the TTL, for previews, or for reports served by another process.
- `evidence_pack`: Find 3-10 scholarly candidates for a question or topic. Returns DOI/OpenAlex IDs, authors, year, venue, source URLs, citation context, open-access location, and known retraction/correction warnings. JSON only. Does not claim that a paper proves a statement. Paid: $0.03 USDC per successful call via x402 (eip155:8453). An unpaid call returns the payment requirements (isError). Results carry settled / transaction / network / payer. Use this when the free evidence_pack_preview (at most 3 candidates) is not enough; to check references you already have, use citation_report instead.
- `evidence_pack_preview`: Free triage for a question or topic: returns at most 3 scholarly candidates with DOI/OpenAlex IDs, authors, year, venue, source URLs, citation context, open-access location and known retraction/correction warnings. JSON only; no payment. Does not claim that a paper proves a statement. For up to 10 candidates use evidence_pack; to check references you already have use citation_report_preview.
