CAPABILITY PROFILE
What the Europe PMC integration exposes
The Europe PMC Agent App exposes 14 provider-backed actions for data work. Its current contract lets an authorized agent check a batch of europe pmc articles or preprints for publication, version, withdrawal, removal, and retraction updates, get text-mined entities and relationships for up to eight europe pmc articles in one request, and get publications that cite one europe pmc publication. These operations are called through Working Machines as typed capabilities rather than through browser navigation or copied UI steps.
A connection uses No account authorization. Before execution, the agent can inspect the selected action, its required fields, declared scopes, and expected output contract. Provider credentials remain inside the Working Machines runtime; the calling agent receives the capability and its structured result, not the underlying secret.
For reliable operation, start with the narrowest action that satisfies the task, resolve stable provider identifiers before changing state, and validate the returned object or status after execution. Availability still depends on the connected Europe PMC account, granted provider permissions, workspace policy, region, plan, and upstream API behavior.

PROVIDER-SPECIFIC WORKFLOWS
Jobs this Agent App can support
Inspect Check Article Status
Check a batch of Europe PMC articles or preprints for publication, version, withdrawal, removal, and retraction updates. Use this as a bounded discovery step, retain the returned identifier, and avoid expanding the read beyond the task's stated scope.
check_article_statusVerify with Get Annotations By Articles
Get text-mined entities and relationships for up to eight Europe PMC articles in one request. Compare the returned provider state with the intended outcome and preserve stable IDs or canonical links in the run record.
get_annotations_by_articlesSAFETY BOUNDARY
Operate Europe PMC with explicit limits
- Authorize Europe PMC with No account authorization and grant only the provider access required by the selected actions.
- The current action names appear read-oriented, but returned Europe PMC data may still be sensitive and should be minimized before it enters model context.
- Do not infer permission from catalog visibility. Workspace policy, connection identity, and upstream authorization still govern execution.
- No provider scope string is declared on the sampled actions. Verify the connected account's actual permissions in Europe PMC rather than assuming unrestricted access.
- After a call, inspect the structured result and execution record before reporting that the Europe PMC task completed successfully.
CONNECTION MODEL
No account authorization
Europe PMC uses No account authorization. Connection requirements and availability are determined by the provider and the Working Machines deployment.
Working Machines stores provider credentials behind the execution boundary. An agent can use an authorized connection identity, but catalog discovery alone does not reveal OAuth tokens, API keys, or provider secrets.
