+## Research thread tools
+
+The `create_thread` tool dispatches the Consensus research agent for detailed, multi-step research questions. Use it for synthesis, comparison, contradiction, author-specific, or literature-review questions. For a simple list of papers, use `search` instead.
+
+<Note>
+  `create_thread` is only available to signed-in OAuth users who have been granted access. It does not appear for anonymous users or API-key callers.
