| What it does | Search PubMed and fetch article metadata directly through NCBI E-utilities (esearch, efetch, esummary) with curl, reporting PMIDs. Use whenever a curator needs literature for a gene, process, or claim, wants a PMID for a citation, or asks to look something up in PubMed. Do not use a PubMed MCP for this. | Runs structured multi-agent discussions for open-ended typia topics. Use only when the user explicitly asks for Discussion or a team debate with transcripts and conclusions; do not use for Self-Review, a solo or multi-agent review, research review, or issue discovery. |
