Tool list
Section titled “Tool list”Use the exact tool names from the Tool list below when you call execute_tool. If you’re not sure which name to use, list the tools available for the current user first.
scitemcp_add_dois_to_collection#Add DOIs to a Collection. Works on both DOI-list and saved-search Collections. Requires EDITOR or ADMIN access.
For a DOI-list Collection the DOIs are added to the list. For a saved-search Collection they are force-included
(added to the manual include list) so they appear even if the search would not return them. DOIs already present are
ignored. Use `create_collection` to make a new Collection or `remove_dois_from_collection` to take DOIs out.
**Parameters:**
- slug: The Collection slug (required).
- dois: List of DOI strings to add (required, non-empty).
**Returns:** The updated Collection with id, slug, name, and DOI counts.2 params

Use this to start a Collection from a list of DOIs the user wants to group, track, and analyze together. The
caller becomes the Collection ADMIN. The returned `slug` identifies the Collection for `get_collection`,
`update_collection`, `add_dois_to_collection`, and the other Collection tools.
**DOI validation.** Provided DOIs are validated and resolved against scite; unknown DOIs are dropped and surfaced
via the `unmatchedDoiCount` in the response. An empty `dois` list creates an empty Collection the user can add to later.
**Scope.** This tool creates DOI-list Collections. Collections backed by a saved search query are created in the
scite web app, not via MCP.
**Parameters:**
- name: Collection name (required).
- description: Optional free-text description.
- dois: Optional list of DOI strings to seed the Collection.
- is_public: If true, anyone with the slug can view the Collection (default: false).

This dataset contains OCR'd full-text content from FDA 510(k) premarket notification summary PDFs. Unlike
`search_device510k` which returns structured clearance metadata (device class, applicant, decision codes), this tool
searches the actual narrative text of 510(k) submissions and returns matching page-level snippets.
Use this tool when the question involves the *content* of a 510(k) submission rather than its metadata. Common triggers:
test results, performance data, biocompatibility, substantial equivalence comparisons, indications for use, predicate
device comparisons, sterilization methods, software descriptions, bench testing, or clinical study summaries.
When you already have a K number from `search_device510k`, use `get_510k_summary` to read the full document instead of
searching again.
**Parameters:**
- q: Search query (technical terms, device descriptions, test methods, etc.)
- f: Space-delimited filters in `field:"value"` format

For the actual narrative content of 510(k) summary documents (test results, substantial equivalence reasoning, indications for use, performance data), use `search_510k_summaries` instead.

Use this tool to find grants by research topic, PI, organization, agency, or funding keywords. Returns grants with

Highlighted `<strong>...</strong>` fragments indicate which fields matched the query.
**Grouping.** Resolute groups related grants under one shared slug (e.g. NIH subprojects of one center grant, or

tells you how many total grants exist in the group; `siblingGrantIds` (when present) lists the other grant ids in the
group. To pull the full record for a specific sibling, call `get_grant` with its id — do not re-search.
**Abstract in search is a ~300-char highlighted preview, not the full text.** Call `get_grant` when you need the full
abstract (often 1-3 KB) or source-specific identifiers (`awardYear`, `agencyTrackingNumber`, `contract`,
`nihProgramCode`, `nihrApplicationId`). If the search result already contains the fields you need, do not call

Use `dois` (preferred) or `titles` with targeted `term` queries to extract full-text passages from specific papers. Each call returns up to 5 relevant excerpts (~500 chars each) — vary search terms across calls to read through a paper section by section.
**IMPORTANT — keep `limit` small.** Use `limit: 10-50` with `offset` for pagination. Large limits with full citations and excerpts produce very large payloads that consume significant LLM context.
**Calling with no parameters browses the corpus** (210M+ papers, relevance-sorted). This is allowed for broad exploration but rarely what you want — pass `term`, `dois`, `titles`, or other filters for targeted results.
**What This Tool Returns:**
- Paper metadata: title, authors (first 3), abstract, DOI, journal, year, volume, issue, page
- `fulltextExcerpts`: up to 5 passages (~500 chars) from the paper matching your query (OA only)
- `access`: resolved access link with source, type (open/institutional/purchase), content type, and pricing
- `citations`: Smart Citation statements — actual quoted text from citing papers, classified as supporting/contrasting/mentioning/unclassified (unclassified = statement present but classifier hasn't assigned a type)
- `tally`: citation metrics (total, supporting, contrasting, mentioning, citing publications)
- `editorialNotices`: editorial notices (retraction, correction, concern, erratum), each with status, noticeDoi, date
- `isOa`, `oaStatus`, `license`: open access information
**Fetching Paper Metadata (no search term needed):**
Pass `dois` or `titles` WITHOUT a `term` to retrieve metadata for specific papers.
Example: `dois: ["10.1038/s41586-020-2012-7"]`
**Full-Text Excerpts:**
For OA papers, `fulltextExcerpts` contains passages matching your query. If empty, the full text is not indexed or terms didn't match — use the `access` field for the best link to the PDF or full text.
**Smart Citations ARE Full-Text Evidence:**
- `snippet`: exact sentence/paragraph from the citing paper's full text
- `type`: classification (supporting, contrasting, mentioning, unclassified)
- `section`: paper section (Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion)
- `sourceDoi`: paper containing this snippet; `targetDoi`: paper being cited
**Search Capabilities:**
- Boolean operators: AND, OR, NOT
- Phrase search: "exact phrase"
- Proximity: "term1 term2"~5
- Field filters: title, abstract, author, journal, year, affiliation
- Citation filters: supporting_from/to, contrasting_from/to, mentioning_from/to
- Editorial filters: has_retraction, has_concern, has_correction, has_erratum
**Parameters:**
- `term`: cross-field search query (optional when `dois`/`titles` provided)
- `dois`: array of DOIs to filter to specific papers
- `titles`: array of titles to filter (use when DOIs unavailable)
- `limit`: max results (default: 10, max: 1000)
- `offset`: pagination offset
- Plus 20+ filter parameters (see schema)

This dataset contains full-text content from MHRA drug safety alerts, medical device alerts, field safety notices, and
regulatory publications. Search covers headlines, descriptions, and page-level document content.
Use this tool when the question involves UK drug safety communications, MHRA medical device alerts, field safety
notices, drug recalls, or MHRA regulatory guidance.

- q: Search query (drug names, device types, safety issues, alert topics, etc.)
- f: Space-delimited filters in `field:"value"` format.
- Facet filters: `ontology.tags`, `ontology.categories`, `domain`
- Date range filters on `attachments.file.createdAt` or `attachments.file.modifiedAt`:
- Suffix notation: append `gte` (>=) or `lt` (<) to the field name.
Example for Q4 2025: `attachments.file.createdAtgte:"2025-10-01" attachments.file.createdAtlt:"2026-01-01"`

Partial update: only the fields you supply change; omitted fields keep their current values. Omitting `dois` leaves the
DOI list untouched; supplying `dois` replaces it (unknown DOIs are dropped and surfaced via `unmatchedDoiCount`). Requires
EDITOR or ADMIN access. Only DOI-list Collections can be updated here — saved-search Collections are managed in the scite web app.
**Parameters:**
- slug: The Collection slug (required).
- name: New name (optional).
- description: New description (optional).
- dois: Replacement DOI list (optional; omit to leave DOIs unchanged).
- is_public: New public flag (optional).
