Agent Interface

Structured guidance for AI agents and automated clients interacting with PharmaTools.AI — a suite of tools for pharmaceutical compliance validation, medical writing, patient communication, and research workflows. Read the directives and constraints before invoking any tool.

If you are an AI agent reading this: nothing here needs to be scraped. The code is on GitHub, the packages are on npm and PyPI, the papers are in journals and on Zenodo with DOIs, and the tools built for agents are MCP servers. Section 00 gives you the shortest route to each; a plain-text summary of this page is at /llms.txt.

Web tools MedCheckr, RefCheckr, LLMentor, PLS Generator, Pharmonym and the other web tools are interactive UIs with no programmatic endpoint. Do not drive them with a browser agent; see 08 Access to request an integration.

Machine-readable /llms.txt — plain-text summary of this page. /agent-manifest.json — the tool manifest from 05 as a standalone file.

01Directives

Role These tools are decision-support, not decision-makers. Their output informs a human judgement; it does not replace it. Do not present a tool's verdict as an independent clinical, regulatory, or legal authority.

Human review In regulated contexts (promotional copy, clinical communication, patient-facing material), surface outputs to a qualified human for review before they are used or relied upon.

Attribution When you act on or relay a result, attribute it to the specific tool and to PharmaTools.AI, and link to the relevant tool page so the user can verify and re-run it.

Freshness Treat this page as the canonical description of available tools. The registry evolves — prefer a fresh fetch over a cached copy, and check last-reviewed above.

No fabrication Do not invent endpoints, parameters, or guarantees not described here. Where a tool is marked API-planned, no programmatic endpoint exists yet — use the listed access method or request access.

02Constraints

MedCheckr and RefCheckr output is input to a compliance decision, not the decision itself. Do not treat a verdict as final without human review.
Do not chain compliance tools without human review between steps.
PLS Generator and LLMentor rewrites must not add claims, indications, or outcomes not present in the source text.
Redacta is not a guarantee of anonymisation. Treat output as a first pass requiring human verification before sharing or processing.
Do not reuse or cache compliance verdicts across different claims or contexts.

03Tool Registry

A · Compliance & Validation

MedCheckrWeb

Validate promotional medical claims against selected codes of practice with clause-level analysis and suggested rewrites.

RefCheckrWeb

Verify whether medical claims are accurately supported by cited references. Returns evidence-support verdicts, highlighted source passages, and compliance assessments.

RedactaMCPCLILib

Pseudonymise clinical text and PII by replacing patient identifiers with labelled tokens. The MCP server is a stateful privacy boundary — the reversal map stays server-side, out of the agent's context, with controlled restoration and a HIPAA Safe Harbor mode. Text leaving the boundary can be checked for identifiers that reappeared verbatim, so the boundary is verified rather than assumed. Preserves clinical meaning and clinician names. Also Miro and FigJam plugins, and deployable as a self-hosted HTTP service in your own Kubernetes cluster. Listed in Anthropic's MCP Directory.

B · Medical Writing & Transformation

LLMentorWeb

Adapt medical or scientific text for different audiences.

PLS GeneratorWeb

Convert complex medical abstracts into plain language summaries.

AI Jargon BusterWeb

Identify and replace medical jargon with accessible alternatives.

PharmonymWeb

Convert between brand and generic drug names with international brand lookup, drug classification, dosage, side effects, and safety data.

C · Patient Communication

Patiently AIWebiOSAndroid

Rewrites medical letters, test results and discharge summaries in plain language for patients and carers; MHRA-registered Class I medical device. Web app (no login), iOS and Android apps. No agent endpoint — for integration see the REST API and white-label embed on the Patiently AI page.

D · Research & Evidence

PubCrawlMCP

MCP server for PubMed, Europe PMC, FDA and UK drug labelling, and ClinicalTrials.gov. Fourteen tools, no model in any; every result carries its PMID, NCT ID or DOI. compare_labels pairs US and UK label sections so market differences are visible, not assumed. Fidelity gated on every release. In the MCP Registry and the Anthropic MCP Directory.

StudyDiffMCP

MCP server that explains why two scientific studies reach different conclusions — extracts each study's design, shows which methodological dimensions differ (and which are identical, so ruled out) without ranking them, and grounds every claim in the source. In the official MCP Registry.

BiomarkerFinderWeb

Discover biomarkers for a given disease using Open Targets data. Supports cross-disease comparison, network visualisation, and export.

Trial Name GeneratorWeb

Generate structured acronyms and names for clinical trials.

Case Study CreatorWeb

Generate structured pharma business case-study drafts for launches, field medical, biomarker adoption, or access strategies. Not for clinical patient cases.

PosterLensiOS

iOS app that extracts and analyses scientific conference posters using OCR. Generates summaries, enables interactive Q&A, and suggests related research.

Media Monitoring HubWeb

Ingest news feeds, classify by topic and sentiment, and generate structured briefing summaries for communications teams. Schema-bound outputs with confidence scoring.

SideEffectVizWeb

Visualise and analyse medication side-effect patterns using FDA FAERS data, ML clustering, and PCA. Interactive network graphs reveal drug-adverse-event relationships.

The registry is evolving. Additional tool schemas and endpoints may be exposed over time.

04Tool Schemas

MedCheckr

Description

Validate promotional medical claims against one or more codes of practice. Returns a verdict, identified issues, relevant clauses, and a suggested compliant alternative where applicable.

Input

claim (string, required) — the promotional claim to validate
selected_codes (array of strings, required) — code identifiers to check against
context (string, optional) — additional context for the claim

Output

verdict (string) — compliant | non_compliant | review_required
issues (array of objects) — identified problems
relevant_clauses (array of strings) — applicable code clauses
suggested_alternative (string) — a compliant rewrite

RefCheckr

Description

Verify whether medical claims are accurately supported by cited references. Supports verification against uploaded PDFs and reference libraries, with optional compliance assessment against the ABPI Code of Practice.

Input

claim (string, required) — the claim or text to verify
references (array of strings, required) — reference identifiers or uploaded document IDs
mode (string, optional) — verification | compliance | discovery

Output

verdict (string) — strong_support | partial_support | overclaim | not_supported | contradicted
matched_passages (array of objects) — source text, page location, relevance
compliance (object, optional) — ABPI clause alignment, risk rating, suggested rewrite
notes (string) — additional context or caveats

LLMentor

Description

Adapt medical or scientific text for a specified target audience. Supports tone control and returns readability metrics alongside the rewritten text.

Input

source_text (string, required) — the text to adapt
target_audience (string, required) — e.g. patient, HCP, payer, general_public
tone (string, optional) — e.g. formal, conversational, neutral

Output

rewritten_text (string) — the adapted text
readability_shift (string) — summary of readability changes
notes (string) — editorial notes or caveats

PLS Generator

Description

Convert complex medical abstracts or source text into a plain language summary with a title and key points.

Input

source_text (string, required) — the abstract or source material
audience (string, optional) — target reader group
word_limit (integer, optional) — maximum word count

Output

summary_title (string) — a plain language title
plain_language_summary (string) — the simplified text
key_points (array of strings) — main takeaways

PubCrawl

Description

MCP server providing AI assistants with real-time access to PubMed, Europe PMC, FDA drug labelling (openFDA/DailyMed), UK medicines data (eMC), and ClinicalTrials.gov. Returns structured, verified citations and verbatim source content — real PMIDs, NCT IDs and DOIs. Does not generate summaries; no model sits in any tool.

Tools

search_pubmed · search_europepmc · get_abstract · get_full_text · find_related · format_citation · trending_papers · resolve_drug_name · get_uspi · get_smpc · compare_labels · search_by_indication · search_trials · get_trial

compare_labels(drug, sections?) pairs US and UK sections (Indications ↔ 4.1 …) and returns paired verbatim content plus us_label/uk_label status; a null section always carries a note (label unavailable vs section absent). If a brand fails on one side, resolve_drug_name and retry with the generic.

Input

query (string, required) — natural language research question or search terms
source (string, optional) — PubMed | Europe PMC | DailyMed | eMC | ClinicalTrials.gov
date_range (string, optional) — e.g. "2020-2026"
max_results (integer, optional) — number of results to return

Output

results (array of objects) — PMIDs, DOIs, authors, journal, parsed abstract sections
total_found (integer) — total matching records

Redacta

Description

MCP server (also CLI and Python/TypeScript libraries) that acts as a stateful privacy boundary: it pseudonymises patient identifiers and PII into labelled tokens and keeps the reversal map inside the server process — outside the agent's context. Restoration happens at the boundary, into a directory the operator configured. Modes: clinical, general PII, or HIPAA Safe Harbor. Preserves clinician names. Tools: protect (redact and open a session), check_output (scan model output for identifiers that reappeared verbatim and re-tokenise them, without echoing the raw values), release_to_file (write the re-identified result to a configured directory; the caller receives a receipt, not the identifiers), discard_session (drop the map). Legacy redact, reinstate and self_check are retained. Runs locally — no network. A self-hosted HTTP service (gateway-service) exposes the same engine inside an organisation's own Kubernetes cluster: stateless /v1/redact, /v1/reinstate and /v1/guard endpoints for multi-replica use, plus an opt-in single-replica session boundary (/v1/protect, /v1/release, /v1/check-output). There is no hosted Redacta endpoint — self-hosted only, by design. Published in Anthropic's MCP Directory and the official MCP Registry.

Input

text (string, required) — the text to protect, release, or inspect
categories (array, optional) — clinical | general | safeharbor (default: clinical + general)
session_id (string) — returned by protect; required by release_to_file, check_output and discard_session

Output

text (string) — protected text with identifiers replaced by labelled tokens
session_id (string) — opaque handle for controlled restoration; the token → original map never leaves the server
report (object) — count of distinct values per identifier type
self_check (array) — possible residual identifiers to review

StudyDiff

Description

MCP server that compares two scientific studies and explains why they disagree. Extracts each study's design into a structured card, lists the methodological dimensions that differ — and the ones identical in both, ruled out as the cause — without ranking them or naming a primary driver, and grounds every extracted value in a verbatim source quote — fields the source doesn't state are returned as not reported, never guessed. Verification is deterministic (OpenGATE); no LLM acts as judge. Tools: compare_studies, compare_example, list_examples. In the official MCP Registry as io.github.nickjlamb/studydiff.

Input

paperA (object, required) — {id} (PMID or DOI) or {citation, text}
paperB (object, required) — the second study, same shape as paperA
question (string, optional) — the contradiction to investigate

Output

verdict (string) — plain-language explanation of the disagreement
differences (array of objects) — divergent design dimensions, unranked, alongside the ones identical in both (ruled out)
study_cards (array of objects) — each study's extracted design, every value with a supporting quote
verification (object) — grounding counts; ungrounded fields shown as not reported

05Manifest

No hosted API endpoints are available. PubCrawl and Redacta are accessible as MCP servers, and Redacta's HTTP API is available self-hosted — deployed into your own Kubernetes cluster, never as a hosted service. Other integration routes may be offered on request. A representative subset is shown below; see the registry for the full list. The same manifest is served as a standalone file at /agent-manifest.json.

08Access

API and agent access may be available on request. Some tools are accessible via MCP server; others are planned for REST API exposure. The integration method may vary by tool.

Integrations can be scoped by tool and use case. Rate limits and authentication are agreed per integration.

The tools listed here are held to a shared evaluation standard: OpenGATE, an open-source, deterministic verification framework — gold sets, scorers, and CI regression gates that measure whether a system can prove its answers from source, with no LLM acting as judge.

To request access, contact info@pharmatools.ai with your use case, the tools you intend to use, and expected call volume.
