Feature & Specification Comparison
Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
Citation Check Tools (2)
check_citation
Fetch a URL and report whether it exists, and whether the source names the same entity as the claim you attach to it. These are two different questions and conflating them is the failure this exists to catch: a URL can return 200 and describe a different gene entirely. No account needed, nothing is stored about you.
verdict_meanings
The exact semantics of every status and relevance value, including what this checker cannot determine. Read once before trusting a verdict.
UI5 MCP Server Tools (10)
get_guidelines
This tool MUST be called once to retrieve UI5 guidelines before working on any UI5 (SAPUI5/OpenUI5) related task or project or creating a UI5 project. The guidelines provided by this tool MUST be followed to ensure best practices and avoid common pitfalls in UI5 development.
run_ui5_linter
Run UI5 linter on a UI5 project to find and optionally fix UI5 related problems like the usage of deprecated API. After making changes, you should always run the linter again to verify that no new problems have been introduced.
