description

Automatically discover life science APIs online, create ToolUniverse tools, validate them, and prepare integration PRs. Performs gap analysis to identify missing tool categories, web searches for APIs, automated tool creation using devtu-create-tool patterns, validation with devtu-fix-tool, and git workflow management. Use when expanding ToolUniverse coverage, adding new API integrations, or systematically discovering scientific resources.

Automated Life Science API Discovery & Tool Creation

Discover, create, validate, and integrate life science APIs into ToolUniverse.

Four-Phase Workflow

Gap Analysis → API Discovery → Tool Creation → Validation → Integration
     ↓              ↓               ↓              ↓            ↓
  Coverage      Web Search      devtu-create   devtu-fix    Git PR

Human approval gates after: discovery, creation, validation, and before PR.

Phase 1: Discovery & Gap Analysis

1.1 Analyze Current Coverage

Load ToolUniverse, categorize tools by domain (genomics, proteomics, drug discovery, clinical, omics, imaging, literature, pathways, systems biology). Count per category.

1.2 Identify Gap Domains

• Critical Gap: <5 tools in category
• Moderate Gap: 5-15 tools, missing key subcategories
• Emerging Gap: New technologies not represented

Common gaps: single-cell genomics, metabolomics, patient registries, microbial genomics, multi-omics integration, synthetic biology, toxicology.

1.3 Web Search for APIs

For each gap domain, run multiple queries:

1. "[domain] API REST JSON" — direct API search
2. "[domain] public database" — database discovery
3. "[domain] API 2025 OR 2026" — recent releases
4. "[domain] database" site:nar.oxfordjournals.org — NAR Database Issue
