verify_references
Fact-check a document's REFERENCES and CLAIMS — built for AI-generated reports whose
citations must be checked before they're trusted.
USE THIS WHEN someone shares a report, article, whitepaper, or deep-research export (or a
link to one) and asks: is this accurate / legit? are these citations real? fact-check this.
did the AI make this up? Also use it proactively before relying on any AI-written document.
Provide the document ONE way: `url` (a public http(s) link to a PDF or web page — fetched
server-side, the cheapest call: no need to download or encode anything), `text` (pasted
markdown/plain prose), OR `bytes_b64` (a base64 PDF; URLs are read from the PDF's link
annotations, so they're exact). Default (fast): provenance (is it a ChatGPT deep-research
export?), citation resolution (live / archived / dead, papers matched against arXiv/Crossref
to catch 'real ID, wrong paper'), and internal MATH (recompute the doc's own arithmetic).
Set `deep=true` to also fetch each cited source and judge whether it SUPPORTS or CONTRADICTS
the claim (slower, ~a minute).
Returns a trust summary, per-item tables, and a shareable `permalink` to the public
fact-check record. HONEST BOUNDARY: this reports verification COVERAGE, not truth —
'supported' means evidence-backed (not necessarily true) and 'unsupported' means no evidence
found (not necessarily false). It tells a reviewer WHERE to look; it does not bless the
document, and it never affects the fraud risk band.
