Server instructions

CiteMe checks citations against scholarly records (CrossRef, OpenAlex, PubMed, Semantic Scholar, Google Books) and returns evidence, not verdicts. Choosing a tool: - search_citations — the user needs to FIND a source. - format_citation — the user already has complete metadata and wants it styled. - check_references — the user already has citations and wants them verified. Use this for any bibliography that was generated, extracted, or pasted, including one you produced yourself. Reporting check_references results. Read these as behaviour, not as calibrated probabilities: - [NOT FOUND] and [FABRICATED?] are different signals; never merge them. Fabricated references do fail to verify, but so does a large share of real ones — works that are not indexed, grey literature, or simply missed. Always report [NOT FOUND] as needing human review, never as a confirmed fake. - [FABRICATED?] is the separate, conservative risk flag. It is tuned to raise few false alarms rather than to catch everything, so it misses some fabrications and will occasionally flag a real source. Report it as likely fabricated — never as proven. - A match does NOT confirm the fields are correct. This tool reports a status, and most field-level corruption does not change that status: a wrong year, journal, volume, or page range on a source that genuinely exists usually still comes back matched. Tell the user to verify those by hand. - [GREY LITERATURE] means the work is plausibly real but not indexed in these databases. [RETRACTED] means the record exists and was withdrawn — surface it, do not treat it as a clean match. Frozen-corpus evidence (369 references, public MCP profile, 2026-08-09): all 80 fabricated references remained unverified; field-level issues were detected in 85% (85/100) of corrupted references, but only 28% changed visible status. The older recall and false-positive figures for [FABRICATED?] were withdrawn after a production coverage audit found a non-independent search-count signal. These are corpus rates, not calibrated probabilities for real traffic.
