The credibility layer for the agentic web.

Every AI agent that researches a topic, writes a brief, or synthesises sources needs to know: who actually knows what they're talking about? That's the call Amygdala answers. Before your agent cites a source or quotes an expert, it calls /api/v1/index/ or /api/v1/detail/ to verify authority.

RAG pipelines Rank retrieved sources by their author's authority score before passing them to the LLM.
Research agents Let the agent discover the top verified experts on a topic, then prioritise their publications.
Content tools Auto-generate "according to [verified expert]" attributions backed by real authority data.
4 MCP tools — available to any MCP-compatible AI
