DESCRIPTION

Fact check a claim and see exactly who agrees and who disagrees. Composite: one call runs web-search + wikipedia-search + x-search + arxiv-search + citation-verify + sentiment in parallel, then re-verifies the top hits against their source pages and rolls up a corroboration count. Send a claim and get back a per-source stance (supports, contradicts, or unclear) with the snippet it was judged on, plus an overall corroboration score. Sources without a conclusive citation-verify read fall back to a keyword-overlap heuristic instead of guessing. Use it as a fact check API, claim verification tool, source cross-reference for research agents, or a misinformation screen before an agent repeats a claim downstream.
