Query the keyless academic and public-domain registries (OpenAlex, Crossref, Semantic Scholar, Project Gutenberg, Internet Archive, Stack Exchange) for a topic and get back normalized, copyright-safe reference metadata (title, link, provenance). Use when gather-citations or verify-claims needs primary-literature grounding instead of the LLM's training memory.
Query Wikipedia, Wikidata, Stack Exchange, public Discourse forums, academic APIs, and public-domain archives to synthesize facts, human struggles, and philosophical debates to build the narrative arc for a topic. Store only facts/events/dates/relationships, dialogic tension points, and reference metadata — never full articles (copyright-safe pipeline, spec §2.5).
Query Metacritic, GameSpot, and TVGuide (resolved and read via Bright Data) for a personality's existing game/film/TV adaptation, extracting critic/user scores, narrative themes critics highlighted, and reception debates. Use when generate-psych-profile or backlog-ranking want a critical-reception signal on top of gather-citations' facts and fandom-lore's fan interpretation.
Compose the per-beat music score plan (Lyria cues, deliberate silence segments, optional sound-effect cues) for a content run by calling Hermes's music-director judgment agent. Use when the Content Factory agent must produce the music_director_output that Hermes's content-run pipeline needs for music generation, beat-synced editing, and the SFX layer.
Decide the whole-video visual grade, typography, and per-shot treatments (transitions, camera moves, grade deviations, light leaks) for a content run by calling Hermes's visual-director judgment agent. Use when the Content Factory agent must produce the visual_director_output that Hermes's content-run pipeline needs for shot styling in Video Assembly.
Trigger Hermes's deterministic 11-agent video-production pipeline for an editorially-approved run, and poll it to completion. Use when submit-editorial-review records a human PASS and the approved asset bundle is ready to actually produce.
Query Fandom wikis (resolved and read via Bright Data) to extract fan-curated personality traits, relationship dynamics, and fan-framed story arcs for a subject -- the depth Wikipedia's neutral tone doesn't carry. Use when generate-psych-profile or story-universe need fan-interpretation signal alongside gather-citations' verified facts.
Spawn and monitor a full content production run (research → fact-check → psychology → story) for one topic opportunity, managing the iterative quality-score loop until it clears threshold. Use when the Chief Editor agent must turn an approved topic opportunity into a complete asset bundle, or when asked to "produce", "run", or "orchestrate" content for a topic.
