| description | Submit compact QuickGO requests for GO terms, annotations, and ontology traversal. Use when a user wants concise QuickGO summaries |
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
