Connectors
SaberTools researches across 18 live public-API connectors. Each project has a domain, and the platform's domain routing automatically selects the right connectors for that domain — so a health query hits USDA, PubMed, and ClinicalTrials.gov, while a bibliographic query hits OpenAlex, Crossref, and DOAJ.

Domain routing
A project's domain drives which connectors run. The routing table is extensible — domains map to an ordered set of connectors, and the agent queries them in parallel, deduplicating and grading results as they arrive.
| Domain | Typical connectors |
|---|---|
health | USDA, NIH DSLD, PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, openFDA |
bibliographic | OpenAlex, Crossref, DOAJ, Google Scholar |
scientific | Semantic Scholar, arXiv, PubMed |
government | World Bank, Data.gov |
finance | FRED |
open_web | Wikipedia, Jina Reader |
cultural_heritage | Open Library |
Credibility & grading
Every connector's results are normalized into the same source shape — title, type, DOI, authors, evidence grade, clinical status, credibility score (1–10), and license (license_label + rights_url). That uniformity is what makes the output a valid UKS packet regardless of which APIs produced it.
