Manusights

Use this when the user wants to check references or citations from any source: a manuscript, a bibliography, a literature review, or citations an AI assistant gave earlier in the conversation. It reports whether each one exists, points to the right paper, or has been retracted, corrected or flagged, for questions like "are these references real?", "is this paper retracted?" or "is this DOI right?". Send citations from earlier in the conversation exactly as given, without correcting them first. Send every reference in the list as its own item, with or without a DOI (one without a DOI is matched by title and first author), with the full text as written, plus its DOI and title when you can read them (the title lets a broken DOI be told apart from a missing work); up to 100 per call; split longer lists across calls. Results come from Crossref, the DOI registry and Retraction Watch; the manuscript itself is not sent. Do not use it to find new sources, to format citations, or to judge whether a source supports a claim. Report each status as returned (for example "resolves" or "not found") and explain it with the row detail; do not describe results as verified, fabricated or safe to cite. Only the DOI and title are compared.

check_references

Use this when the user asks what a named journal or publisher allows or requires about AI: AI as an author, disclosure statements and where they go, AI-generated images, uploading manuscripts to AI tools, or reviewers' and editors' AI use. It returns the rules as recorded from the publisher's official policy page, with that page's URL and the date Manusights last checked it. When the record is overdue for a re-check or the page could not be fully read, it says which and gives the URL instead of the rules. It also returns the journal's measured submission-to-acceptance time when Manusights has it. Takes an exact journal name or ISSN. Do not use it for word limits, formatting, fees or impact factors.

get_journal_ai_policy

Use this when the user asks about their earlier Manusights reviews. Returns the 20 most recent, newest first.

list_manuscript_reviews

Use this to read the preview, and the Full Review if the account has one, for a review_id returned by review_manuscript or list_manuscript_reviews. While preview.status is "processing", wait check_again_after_seconds and call again. Do not use it for review_ids the user has not referred to.

get_manuscript_review

Use this when the user wants Manusights to review, check or assess a scientific manuscript they attached (PDF, Word, ODT, RTF, TXT, Markdown or LaTeX, up to 50 MB). Starts a pre-submission preview and returns a review_id right away. The preview takes a few minutes, so read it afterwards with get_manuscript_review. Each account can start a limited number of previews per day from connected apps; the result says when the limit is reached. Calling again with the same file and target journal returns the same review instead of starting another. Do not use it to write, rewrite or edit text, for figures or data files, or when no manuscript is attached.
