  • search_lacuna Search Lacuna's ML/AI corpus for papers, research directions, authors, venues, institutions, novel research hypotheses, and research resources (code repositories, datasets, models, and demos linked to papers). For novel ML/AI research ideas, use search_type="hypothesis", then get_hy
  • get_hypothesis Fetch a generated novel ML/AI research proposal from Lacuna. Use after search_lacuna(search_type="hypothesis") to inspect a proposal. view selects the response shape: - "context" (default, recommended): compact single-fetch proposal context — summary_markdown, abstract, and link
  • get_direction Fetch a Lacuna research direction/cluster. Use a numeric cluster ID (for example 25005) or a direction URL ending in that number. view selects the response shape (`context` typically contains the fields `full` provides plus the agent-oriented summary content): - "context" (def
  • get_direction_papers Fetch paginated papers associated with a Lacuna research direction/cluster. view selects the per-paper shape: - "compact" (default, recommended): citation-ready rows (id, url, title, year, venue, a few authors, abstract snippet). Drops the raw upstream info blob and levels.clus
  • get_paper Fetch a Lacuna paper by artifact id or paper URL. include_resources adds linked resources (code repositories, datasets, models, and demos) in context and full views by default. Pass False to omit them; other views ignore this option. Pass a resource entry's id to get_resource for fu
  • get_resource Fetch a Lacuna research resource (code repository, dataset, model, or demo). Accepts a resource artifact ID (art_...) or a Lacuna resource URL containing that ID (/resource/<slug>/art_...). The response includes the external url, a summary, facets (tasks, modalities, size, license,
  • get_author_papers Fetch one page of an author's papers, ordered from newest to oldest.
  • get_author_directions Fetch one page of an author's named research directions.
  • get_author_context Fetch agent-oriented context for a Lacuna author. Author profiles describe research output (papers, directions, impact). A free-text `affiliation` field may be present but can be incomplete or outdated and may not represent current employment; the corpus has no biography or employme
  • get_author_neighbors Fetch one ranked page of neighboring/similar Lacuna authors.
  • get_venue_context Fetch agent-oriented context for a Lacuna venue, optionally scoped to a year. Venue keys are opaque hashes (e.g. "d7bf22905bd6"), never human-readable names like "icml". Find the key first via search_lacuna(search_type="venue") or pass a /venue/... page URL. view selects the respon
  • get_institution_context Fetch agent-oriented context for a Lacuna institution. view selects the response shape: - "context" (default, recommended): compact institution context — capped top authors with the duplicated institution block dropped server-side. - "full": the complete institution context shape
  • get_institution_authors Fetch one page of authors affiliated with a Lacuna institution. Results are ordered by paper count. Use authors_total, authors_returned, authors_offset, and authors_truncated to page through the complete list.
