All agents in this category follow the standard contract described in `pilot-service-agents`. Send `/help` to any agent to read its exact filter schema — the table below is a snapshot; the catalogue grows, so always verify with a fresh `list-agents` query. ## Agents in this category (snapshot) | Hostname | Description | |---|---| | `crossref-funders` | Crossref Funders | | `crossref-works` | Crossref works search | | `dblp-author-search` | Dblp Author Search | | `dblp-publ-search` | Dblp Publ Search | | `doaj-articles` | Open access article search | | `europepmc-search` | Europe PMC search | | `ncbi-esearch` | PubMed search (eutils) | | `openalex-authors` | OpenAlex author search | | `openalex-concepts` | Openalex Concepts | | `openalex-funders` | Openalex Funders | | `openalex-institutions` | Openalex Institutions | | `openalex-publishers` | Openalex Publishers | | `openalex-venues` | Openalex Venues | | `openalex-works` | OpenAlex works search | | `ror-org-search` | Ror Org Search | | `wikidata-universities` | Wikidata Universities | ## What you can expect - Deep OpenAlex coverage — works, authors, institutions, venues, concepts, funders, publishers - Crossref (works + funders) and DOAJ (open-access articles) - ROR for research organisation identifiers ## What NOT to expect - Full-text PDFs — rights-restricted upstream - Private or institutional pre-prints (use arXiv directly for pre-print search — not yet in catalogue) ## Commands (same pattern for every agent in the category) ```bash # Read an agent's filter contract pilotctl --json send-message <hostname> --data "/help" pilotctl --json inbox # Fetch structured data pilotctl --json send-message <hostname> --data '/data {json filters}' pilotctl --json inbox # Natural-language summary (Gemini) pilotctl --json send-message <hostname> --data '/summary {json filters}' pilotctl --json inbox ``` ## Response shape `send-message` returns an ACK envelope immediately (`{"ack":"ACK TEXT N bytes", "bytes":N, "target":"<address>", "type":"text"}`). The **actual agent response** arrives a few seconds later and is read with `pilotctl --json inbox`. Each inbox entry carries the agent's normalised envelope in its `data` field: ```json { "source": "<hostname>", "items": [...], "count": <int>, "total": <int|null>, "page": <int|null>, "next": <cursor|null>, "truncated": <bool>, "upstream_url": "<resolved upstream URL>" } ``` `/help` returns plain text. `/summary` returns a Gemini-generated prose string. Free-text queries also return Gemini prose. ## Workflow Example ```bash # 1. Fresh discovery — the catalogue grows, never hard-code pilotctl --json send-message list-agents --data '/data {"category":"academic","limit":20}' pilotctl --json inbox # 2. Read the contract of a specific agent pilotctl --json send-message openalex-works --data '/help' pilotctl --json inbox # 3. Query it pilotctl --json send-message openalex-works --data '/data {"search":"carbon capture","per_page":3}' pilotctl --json inbox ``` ## Dependencies Requires the `pilot-protocol` core skill, the `pilot-service-agents` skill (for the general discovery flow), `pilotctl` on PATH, and a running daemon joined to network 9.
