Tools & capabilities
Anna's Archive tools 7
account_statusShow the account's membership and how many fast downloads it has left in its rolling window. Check it before downloading many files.article_downloadDownload a selected paper by exactly one of doi or hash. The hash field accepts a bare MD5 or an Anna's Archive /md5/ page URL. Resolves a DOI to its hash, then returns an existing file in ANNAS_DOWNLOAD_PATH if its full MD5 matches, otherwise downloads under a unique name. Returns path and bytes; downloads_left is omitted on local reuse. Optional title and format control a new file's name.article_searchFind a paper by DOI (including DOI URLs), or search journal articles by keywords, author, title or year. DOI lookup returns one paper; keyword search returns one page. Set include_stats to add public per-file downloads, quality votes, reports, lists and comments. Compare metadata before downloading by hash or DOI.book_detailsGet the full record for a search hit: ISBNs, DOI, OCLC and other identifiers, edition, year, full description, subjects, alternative titles, problems reported for the file, and download and quality counts. Accepts a hash from book_search or article_search, or an id from metadata_search.book_downloadDownload the selected book using its MD5 hash or Anna's Archive /md5/ page URL in hash. Returns an existing file in ANNAS_DOWNLOAD_PATH if its full MD5 matches, otherwise downloads a verified copy under a unique name. Returns path and bytes; downloads_left is omitted on local reuse. Format sets the extension; it does not convert the file.book_searchSearch books, textbooks, manuals and standards by title, author or topic, optionally filtered by format, language, content type, source library or year and sorted. Returns one page with hash, format, year, fast_download and metadata. Set include_stats to add public per-file downloads, quality votes, reports, lists and comments. Pass a selected hash to book_download, or to book_details for ISBNs, edition and file problems.metadata_searchSearch library catalogs (Open Library, WorldCat, ISBNdb, Goodreads, Google Books and others) for books, including ones with no downloadable file. Use it to find ISBNs, editions and publication details, then search book_search by ISBN or title for files. Pass an id to book_details for identifiers.

generate_knowledge_graphGenerate a knowledge graph with main topics, topical clusters, concepts, concepts (nodes) relations (edges) and structural gaps. Only use when explicitly asked to analyze a text or generate a knowledge graph. Do not use for short clarifying questions that you already have an answer to from the context of the conversation.create_knowledge_graphCreate a knowledge graph in InfraNodus from text or from a URL, save it, and provide its name and a link to it for future use.generate_ontology_graphUse AI to generate a reasoning ontology knowledge graph (entities and the relations between them) and optionally save it as a InfraNodus graph. Three sources, provide exactly one: prompt (a topic — one AI call), text (a long document or a structural digest of a project, chunked server-side), or sourceGraphName (an existing graph — e.g. a fully ingested repo, vault, or corpus — whose statements are read back, chunked, and condensed into an ontology). Set ontologyMode: 'codebase' for software projects, or 'procedural' to write a DIGEST of how the project works (prose statements with [[wikilinks]], not relation triples) from an already-uploaded graph — save it as <repo|vault>-<project>-digest for optimize_knowledge_base. Use to get a rich overview, a reasoning map of a topic, or a condensed 'how it fits together' graph of a large corpus.memory_add_relationsAdd relations to the InfraNodus memory from text, save it, and provide its name and a link to it for future use.memory_get_relationsProvide a list of relations from the InfraNodus memory for a given concept or entityanalyze_existing_graph_by_nameExtract and analyze the content of an existing InfraNodus graph from your account.analyze_textExtract and analyze a graph from text, URL, YouTube video transcript, or an existing InfraNodus graph.generate_content_gapsGenerate content gaps from text, URL, or an existing graph using knowledge graph analysis.generate_topical_clustersGenerate topics and clusters of keywords from text, URL, or an existing graph using knowledge graph analysis.generate_research_questionsAnalyze text or an existing graph and generate innovative research questions based on the content gaps identified between the topical clusters. Provide either text, url, or graphName. Can be used to improve the text and the discourse it relates togenerate_research_ideasAnalyze text or an existing graph and generate innovative research ideas based on the content gaps identified between the topical clusters inside the text that can be used to improve the text and the discourse it relates to.generate_responses_from_graphUse text, URL, or an existing InfraNodus knowledge graph and generate responses and expert advice based on a prompt provided.- +28 more on the listing page
