CAPABILITY PROFILE
What the Web of Science Expanded integration exposes
The Web of Science Expanded Agent App exposes 6 provider-backed actions for data work. Its current contract lets an authorized agent generate citation totals, self-citation-adjusted metrics, yearly counts, and h-index for a web of science query, get one or more web of science expanded records by uid with short, full, or custom field detail, and list the bibliographic references cited by a web of science document. These operations are called through Working Machines as typed capabilities rather than through browser navigation or copied UI steps.
A connection uses API key. 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 Web of Science Expanded account, granted provider permissions, workspace policy, region, plan, and upstream API behavior.

INPUT CONTRACTS
Know what the action needs before it runs.
get_citation_report
queryREQUIRED- The Web of Science advanced query to analyze.
databaseOPTIONAL- The Web of Science database to search. WOS searches the Core Collection and WOK searches all entitled databases. Defaults to WOS.
languageOPTIONAL- The search language code. WOS supports en, while entitled regional databases may support other languages.
editionOPTIONAL- The collection and edition expression, such as WOS+SCI, with multiple editions separated by commas.
publishTimeSpanOPTIONAL- The publication date range in YYYY-MM-DD+YYYY-MM-DD form.
get_documents
uidsREQUIRED- The Web of Science UIDs to retrieve in one request.
databaseOPTIONAL- The Web of Science database to search. WOS searches the Core Collection and WOK searches all entitled databases. Defaults to WOS.
languageOPTIONAL- The request language. This endpoint supports only en for English.
recordDetailOPTIONAL- The record detail level. Short records do not count against the Expanded API Full Record quota. Defaults to short.
fieldsOPTIONAL- The official Web of Science record fields to return. Supplying fields uses custom field selection instead of short or full records.
list_cited_references
uidREQUIRED- The source Web of Science UID.
databaseOPTIONAL- The Web of Science database to search. WOS searches the Core Collection and WOK searches all entitled databases. Defaults to WOS.
languageOPTIONAL- The request language. This endpoint supports only en for English.
limitOPTIONAL- The maximum number of records to return, from 0 to 100.
firstRecordOPTIONAL- The one-based index of the first record to return, up to 100000.
list_citing_documents
uidREQUIRED- The source Web of Science UID.
databaseOPTIONAL- The Web of Science database to search. WOS searches the Core Collection and WOK searches all entitled databases. Defaults to WOS.
languageOPTIONAL- The request language. This endpoint supports only en for English.
limitOPTIONAL- The maximum number of records to return, from 0 to 100.
firstRecordOPTIONAL- The one-based index of the first record to return, up to 100000.
PROVIDER-SPECIFIC WORKFLOWS
Jobs this Agent App can support
Inspect Get Citation Report
Generate citation totals, self-citation-adjusted metrics, yearly counts, and h-index for a Web of Science query. Use this as a bounded discovery step, retain the returned identifier, and avoid expanding the read beyond the task's stated scope.
get_citation_reportVerify with Get Documents
Get one or more Web of Science Expanded records by UID with short, full, or custom field detail. Compare the returned provider state with the intended outcome and preserve stable IDs or canonical links in the run record.
get_documentsSAFETY BOUNDARY
Operate Web of Science Expanded with explicit limits
- Authorize Web of Science Expanded with API key and grant only the provider access required by the selected actions.
- The current action names appear read-oriented, but returned Web of Science Expanded 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 Web of Science Expanded rather than assuming unrestricted access.
- After a call, inspect the structured result and execution record before reporting that the Web of Science Expanded task completed successfully.
CONNECTION MODEL
API key
Web of Science API key with a paid Expanded API subscription, sent in the X-ApiKey header. Register an application and request Expanded access in the official Clarivate Developer Portal: https://developer.clarivate.com/apis/wos
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.

EVIDENCE AND AVAILABILITY
Provider reference
Action names, input fields, authentication types, and counts on this page are generated from the Working Machines provider catalog. Provider behavior, quotas, object semantics, account eligibility, and regional availability remain governed by Web of Science Expanded.
