citation_graph
ActiveTool of Academic Research Intelligence MCP
declared in 3.4.2
Analyze the citation graph for a paper via live OpenAlex — list the papers citing it ("citations") or the papers it references ("references"). Citation analysis for tracing influence and prior work in a literature review. PAID: $0.01 USDC per query after the daily free allowance (25/day). On a 402, pay the returned Solana memo and re-call with the SAME args plus payment_tx=<signature>. An Authorization: Bearer fnet_ key bypasses it.
