name	literature-evidence-scout
description	Search for and synthesize verified academic literature evidence for a scoped research question, preserving source identifiers and section-level provenance. Use before drafting, ideation, or citation repair when the user needs real source leads rather than model-recalled references.

Verified Literature Evidence Scout

Translate the user request into a small query set and search using source-returning tools. Retain only records whose title, author/year, and stable identifier are returned by a source. Treat abstracts and metadata as discovery evidence, not proof of a detailed mechanism; mark a claim needs_section_reading when it requires full text.

The report must identify search sources, date, queries, duplicates/exclusions, and the exact user claim or paper section each retained record may inform. The JSON must preserve source identifiers and never contain a fabricated BibTeX entry. When existing literature notes are insufficient for a section, recommend opening the relevant note-card section or fetching the paper rather than filling the gap from memory.

Bounded retrieval and partial delivery

Search is evidence gathering, not open-ended exploration. Before the first tool call, write at most three non-overlapping queries that directly map to the user's question. Follow these hard operating limits:

1. Call multi_source_search, arxiv_search, semantic_scholar_search, openalex_search, or crossref_search at most five times in total. Do not retry a query with cosmetic wording changes.
2. Keep at most 20 deduplicated discovery records. Use metadata lookup only for the eight most decision-relevant records whose stable identifier was returned directly by a search tool.
3. Never call openalex_get_work, crossref_get_work, or a metadata resolver with an identifier inferred from a title, an incomplete URL, a placeholder, or a previous tool error. A not_found, timeout, or rate-limit result is a negative evidence fact; do not repeat that lookup in the same run.
4. As soon as at least five usable records or one source failure boundary has been observed, write both declared outputs. Do not wait for an ideal corpus. Label the result partial when appropriate, preserve successful search evidence, list failed/unqueried sources, and then call finish_task.
5. On any rate_limit, stop all further remote retrieval immediately. Write the partial report and records from already returned tool data; do not ask the user to repeat the same search and do not keep trying another query variant.

The final report must begin with ## 检索交付状态 (Retrieval Delivery Status) and a standalone line - retained_record_count: N, where N exactly equals the number of objects in . This is a visible reader check, not an internal audit label: it prevents a partial report from describing a different corpus than its citeable record file.
