    evidence_pack_previewFree preview. 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. Returns at most 3 papers; no payment.
    citation_report_previewFree 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.
    citation_report_receiptRe-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.
