Use when the user asks to download an academic paper or get the PDF — given a URL, DOI, paper title, or citation. Uses the bundled helper script as the default path for DOI/URL/PDF downloads, with open-web and arXiv lookup as fallbacks for title-only requests. Triggers on phrases like "download paper", "get me the PDF", "fetch this paper", "get this DOI".
