Quickgo Skill

Operating rules

• Use scripts/rest_request.py for all QuickGO API calls.
• Use base_url=https://www.ebi.ac.uk/QuickGO/services.
• GO term lookups usually do not need max_items; annotation and traversal endpoints are better with limit=10 and max_items=10.
• Send Accept: application/json in headers.
• Re-run requests in long conversations instead of relying on older tool output.
• Treat displayed ... in tool previews as UI truncation, not literal request content.

Execution behavior

• Return concise markdown summaries from the script JSON by default.
• Prefer these paths: ontology/go/terms/<id>, annotation/search, and ontology child or ancestor endpoints.
• Treat annotation/search as upstream-fragile when QuickGO's annotation Solr backend is unavailable; fall back to ontology term lookup or UniProt GO annotations when appropriate.
• If the user needs the full payload, set save_raw=true and report the saved file path.

Input

• Read one JSON object from stdin.
• Required fields: base_url, path
• Optional fields: method, params, headers, json_body, form_body, record_path, response_format, max_items, max_depth, timeout_sec, save_raw, raw_output_path
• Common QuickGO patterns:
• {"base_url":"https://www.ebi.ac.uk/QuickGO/services","path":"ontology/go/terms/GO:0008150,GO:0003674","headers":{"Accept":"application/json"},"record_path":"results","max_items":10}
• {"base_url":"https://www.ebi.ac.uk/QuickGO/services","path":"annotation/search","params":{"geneProductId":"P04637","limit":10},"headers":{"Accept":"application/json"},"record_path":"results","max_items":10}

Output

• Success returns ok, source, path, method, status_code, warnings, and either compact records or a compact summary.
• Use raw_output_path when save_raw=true.
• Failure returns ok=false with error.code and error.message.

Execution

echo '{"base_url":"https://www.ebi.ac.uk/QuickGO/services","path":"ontology/go/terms/GO:0006915","headers":{"Accept":"application/json"},"record_path":"results","max_items":10}' | python scripts/rest_request.py

References

• No additional runtime references are required; keep the import package limited to this file and scripts/rest_request.py.
