Semantic Scholar
for LuumenAI

Search papers, authors, citations, and references from the terminal

Ask about a paper and get the answer in your terminal: who wrote it, what it cites, who has cited it since. SEMANTICSCHOLAR_DETAILS_ABOUT_A_PAPER and SEMANTICSCHOLAR_DETAILS_ABOUT_A_PAPER_S_CITATIONS read straight through, and batch lookups cover long lists at once. Connect with an API key. Semantic Scholar is read-only here, so nothing you run changes anything.

Questions

How does LuumenAI connect to Semantic Scholar?

Authorize once with API token. Luumen lists the scopes each action needs before you approve the connection, and credentials never appear in the chat.

Can LuumenAI change things in Semantic Scholar on its own?

No. Every one of the 20 tools LuumenAI has for Semantic Scholar is read-only, so it can answer questions from Semantic Scholar but cannot change anything in it. Reads are not gated — they answer immediately, and each one is recorded on the audit trail with the actor and the result.

Who gets access to the integration?

You decide. Access is granted per agent, skill, and team, and per environment — production is not staging.

Is there an audit trail?

Every call to Semantic Scholar is recorded with the actor, the input, and the result, and can be linked to the ticket or change record.
