A Google Scholar search tool that applies filters such as author, journal, date range, exact phrase, and title-only matching. Google Scholar is a search engine for academic papers and citations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find papers by topic, author, publication, years, exact wording, or words that must appear in the title.
Why use it?

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

gs-advanced-search scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 120 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Construct and execute a Google Scholar search using URL parameters based on the user's natural language description.

Arguments

$ARGUMENTS is a natural language description of the search criteria, e.g.:

  • "Search for Einstein's papers on relativity after 2020"
  • "Find reviews about CRISPR in Nature"
  • "Search for exact phrase 'machine learning' in title only"

Step 1: Parse search criteria into URL parameters

Map the user's intent to Google Scholar URL parameters:

Criteria Parameter Example
Keywords q q=gastric+cancer
Author as_sauthors as_sauthors="Albert Einstein"
Journal/Source as_publication as_publication=Nature
Start year as_ylo as_ylo=2020
End year as_yhi as_yhi=2025
Exact phrase as_epq as_epq=machine+learning
Any of these words (OR) as_oq as_oq=immunotherapy+checkpoint
Exclude words as_eq as_eq=review
Search scope as_occt as_occt=title (title only) / as_occt=any (anywhere)
Results per page num num=10 (default) or num=20 (max)
Language hl hl=en or hl=zh-CN

Construction examples:

  • "Einstein 2020 年以后在 Nature 上的论文" → scholar?as_sauthors=Einstein&as_publication=Nature&as_ylo=2020&hl=en
  • "标题包含 CRISPR 的论文" → scholar?q=CRISPR&as_occt=title&hl=en
  • "精确搜索 'deep learning' 排除 review" → scholar?as_epq=deep+learning&as_eq=review&hl=en
  • "搜索 immunotherapy 或 checkpoint 相关论文" → scholar?as_oq=immunotherapy+checkpoint&hl=en

Notes:

  • When as_sauthors, as_publication, etc. are used, q can be omitted or used for additional keywords
  • Always include hl=en for consistent results
  • Use num=10 (default) to minimize CAPTCHA risk

Step 2: Navigate

Use mcp__chrome-devtools__navigate_page:

  • url: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?{CONSTRUCTED_PARAMS}

Step 3: Extract results (evaluate_script)

Same extraction script as gs-search step 2:

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
