| description | Submit compact Reactome ContentService requests for pathway, event, participant, search, and diagram-related data. Use when a user wants concise Reactome summaries |
Operating rules
- Use
scripts/rest_request.py for all Reactome ContentService calls.
- Use
base_url=https://reactome.org/ContentService.
- Single pathway or event lookups usually do not need
max_items; list-style pathway membership calls are better with max_items=10.
- Send
Accept: application/json in headers when requesting JSON.
- 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:
data/query/<eventId>, data/pathways/low/entity/<identifier>, data/participants/<eventId>, and search endpoints.
- 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 Reactome patterns:
{"base_url":"https://reactome.org/ContentService","path":"data/query/R-HSA-199420","headers":{"Accept":"application/json"}}{"base_url":"https://reactome.org/ContentService","path":"data/pathways/low/entity/P38398","params":{"species":"Homo sapiens"},"headers":{"Accept":"application/json"},"max_items":10}{"base_url":"https://reactome.org/ContentService","path":"data/participants/R-HSA-199420","headers":{"Accept":"application/json"},"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://reactome.org/ContentService","path":"data/query/R-HSA-199420","headers":{"Accept":"application/json"}}' | 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.
