OpenAlex
OpenAlex is an open catalog of the global scholarly record. Callers can search and list works (papers, books, datasets) by title, abstract, or full-text search and filter them by publication year, open-access status, cited-by count, concept, institution, funder, or source, and fetch a single work by OpenAlex id, DOI, PMID, or ORCID-linked author. It also covers authors, institutions, sources (journals and repositories), publishers, funders, topics, and concepts, each listable, filterable, and retrievable by id, with grouped counts for aggregate analysis and autocomplete lookups by name. No credentials required.

Need a trigger or action that is not here?
Ask your agent. Describe what you need in plain language and it reads the OpenAlex API documentation, builds the operation at whatever depth the API allows, tests every branch and ships it. The list above is what exists today, not the limit.
