What exactly is the soul meant to do? What would demonstrate the presence of a soul, or lack thereof? Is it art, advanced tool, or something else?

The soul is etched in a human being, even a brain dead person would have one. A lack of a soul in a human would mean that the body expired. It's sole purpose is to give immortality to humans.

Can't demonstrate the presence of something that doesn't exist.

A clear falsifiable definition would help get the ball rolling.

The soul is consciousness, or the overall "rhythm" of activity in a living system the cessation of which means death (Aristotelian definition)

Here's the hard truth. I've read the origenal philophical text that talks about the soul. What these people were actually trying to describe was brain function. In other words "soul" as it was origenally concieved is covered by neurology and science.
The early philosophers assumed the brain had an existence outside the body because they noticed certain information was known without being learned. Something today we would call "instincts" or "subconscious".
The reason that we still beleive "soul" is some magic thing is because certain religions promise an after-life.
