## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs to retrieve real academic papers on a topic for citation, summarization, claim verification, or literature review. Prefer this over general web search when the user explicitly needs scholarly sources with author and publication metadata. Well-suited for research assistants, fact-checking workflows, and academic writing aids.

## Known failure modes

- Limit parameter outside 1–50 range — request rejected

- Payment not processed successfully via x402 — call not executed
- Upstream academic data source unavailable — service error returned
