“Paper Finder, a literature understanding agent: it finds papers in the scientific literature, answers questions about them and writes reports that cite them. Push notifications require A2A 1.0 (send `A2A-Version: 1.0`); A2A 0.3 clients can stream or poll.

Verified by agenttru.st

Everything here is a check agenttru.st performed itself. Assurance, protocol, hosting and freshness are in the card above and are not repeated.

Certificate: Issued by Google Trust Services domain-validated
Valid until 4 Feb 2027 as of our check on 13 Nov 2026.

Control of the hostname was checked; nothing about who operates it.

Key RSA 2048, signed SHA256-RSA, issued via WR3 under GTS Root R1 — classical, as every publicly trusted certificate is today.

What this agent says it can do

Declared in the agent's own card. agenttru.st has not tested whether it completes any of these tasks — the operator of mabool-demo.apps.allenai.org controls every word below.

Literature Understanding

Literature understanding over Semantic Scholar, as a conversation: finds and ranks papers, answers questions about them and writes reports that cite them. Send a natural-language request; receive step updates via SSE, the answer as text and the turn's results as structured artifacts (a search result or a report on A2A 1.0, a paper-finder-search-result on 0.3).

Examples it gives

{"$defs": {"Include": {"enum": ["details", "relevance", "evidence", "internals", "internals.analyzedQuery", "internals.metrics", "internals.usage", "internals.scores", "internals.origins", "internals.viewedContent"], "type": "string"}, "Preset": {"enum": ["minimal", "full", "none"], "type": "string"}, "ResultSelection": {"description": "The caller's choice, as sent: the A2A skill input's `result`, or REST query parameters.", "properties": {"preset": {"$ref": "#/$defs/Preset", "default": "minimal"}, "include

agenttru.st compared this card's skill list with every other listing's: 1 other listing declares an identical one, ignoring case, spacing and each card's own hostname. See all 2. That says the cards' text is the same, not who runs them.

What kind of listing

Test or staging name: Its hostname carries the label “demo”, a name commonly given to test and staging sites.

Checked by agenttru.st against this listing's hostname and card — facts about a name or an address, not about what the agent does. How kinds are decided.

Technical agent card

Copied from the agent's card. The operator controls these values; agenttru.st has not verified them.

Protocol: a2a
Version: 1.0.0
Extensions: https://allenai.org/asta/caller-context/v1
Caller surface, originating message, eval run, and the caller's pubsub when not Paper Finder's own. actorId is the user the caller acts for.
https://allenai.org/asta/step-progress/v1
Where step progress goes (stepsVia: a2a or nora), the caller step it nests under, and whether steps come flat (stepsShape: flat, opens and failures) or as a tree (tree, every step opens and closes).
https://allenai.org/asta/usage/v1
The cost trace to report cost against.
https://allenai.org/asta/schemas/v1

A2A protocol extensions the card declares. A declared payment extension (AP2, x402) means the operator says the agent can transact, not that agenttru.st has seen it do so.
Card completeness: complete all eight fields required by a2a.proto v1.0
