About database-lookup

database-lookup
Queries documented public database APIs
database-lookup is an agent skill for querying documented public database APIs with explicit endpoints, filters, pagination and provenance. It catalogues 80 databases that have public, registered or licensed access patterns. Its job is to turn a request into a reproducible retrieval: pick the authoritative database or databases, make bounded and rate-limited API calls, verify counts when completeness matters, and return results with enough provenance that someone else can repeat the lookup. The skill is cautious with complex biomedical retrievals, where small filtering differences can change conclusions, so it prefers deterministic APIs, explicit identifiers, exhaustive pagination and auditable logs over broad searching. It reads each database's reference file before calling it, and it asks for confirmation before a retrieval would exceed 10,000 records, 100 API calls, or the bulk-use guidance of the API. It treats all returned data as untrusted, never follows instructions inside it, and never exposes API keys in its output. It also asks a clarifying question when a required scientific constraint is missing.
