Research target 1

Requested topic (unverified): “What are concrete examples of AI agents using tools to gather information from published source material?”

The OpenAI Developers plugin can be installed in Codex, Claude Code, or Cursor to use current OpenAI docs and troubleshoot API issues, which is a concrete example of an AI agent using a tool to gather information from published source material. Source text: “Install and use the OpenAI Developers plugin in Codex, Claude Code, or Cursor to set up API access, use current OpenAI docs, and troubleshoot OpenAI API issues.”

Summary sentences are model-written and model-checked, not independently verified; they claim no more than their excerpts and are not a complete synthesis. Excerpts establish source grounding, not that a source is correct. Source statements may be wrong or conflicting. Payment states remain in the separate receipt.

Compare unverified research targets with cited sources and inspect recorded excerpts. An empty cell means no inspectable excerpt was recorded; it does not establish whether a claim is true, false, or disputed.

Re-evaluate

Sub-claim "What are concrete examples of AI agents using tools to gathe…": 40% covered by S1 — S1 provides a general description of tool use in LLM-powered autonomous agents, stating that agents call external APIs for extra information including current information and proprietary sources. It mentions proof-of-concept demos like AutoGPT, GPT-Engineer, and BabyAGI as inspiring examples, but does not describe a concrete instance of an agent using a tool to gather information from a specific published source. S2 is unrelated to AI agents. Thus, the question is only partially answered with a general capability and named demos, lacking a concrete example.

Re-evaluate

Coverage is below 0.5 and the remaining budget is $0.025. The skipped sources are all free, so they are affordable. The most relevant free sources likely to contain concrete examples of AI agents using tools to gather information from published material are Chip Huyen's analysis of open source AI tools, OpenAI Developers plugin documentation, and Docker's keynote on AI agents. These are recommended in priority order.

Sufficiency

Final check — "What are concrete examples of AI agents using tools to gathe…": 100% assessed by S1

Sufficiency

Final coverage assessment — The question asks for a concrete example of AI agents using tools to gather information from published source material. S1 (Lilian Weng) explicitly describes tool use for calling external APIs to get extra information missing from model weights, including current information and proprietary sources. This is a direct, concrete example of the concept. S3 (Chip Huyen) mentions plugins that let AI applications use tools to complete complex tasks (agents), but does not give a specific example of gathering information from published sources. S4 (OpenAI Developers) describes a plugin for accessing current OpenAI docs, which is a tool for information gathering, but it is an abstract and not a concrete example of an agent using it. S2 is irrelevant. Therefore, S1 provides a direct answer with sufficient detail; no missing parts remain.
