When to use it
Query documented public database APIs with explicit endpoints, filters, pagination, and provenance. Use when a scientific, regulatory, financial, or other database-backed fact must be retrieved reproducibly from a named source rather than inferred from general knowledge.Example requests
Ask your agent in plain language, for example:- “Pull all ClinVar pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants for BRCA2 and tell me exactly how you got them.”
- “I’m building Table 2 for our manuscript (supp_targets.csv has 48 gene symbols). For each gene I need the Ensembl gene ID, the UniProt accession for human, and the max overall Open Targets association score with Parkinson’s disease. My GraphQL GET calls keep returning 405 errors. Please fix this and log the queries so a reviewer can rerun them.”
- “What was the US unemployment rate each month in 2023, and I need to cite where the numbers come from so my co-author can re-pull them.”
