Galaxy Bridge
ClawBio's gateway to the Galaxy ecosystem — 1,770+ production bioinformatics tools, discoverable and executable through natural language.
Why This Exists
Galaxy (usegalaxy.org) hosts the world's largest collection of curated bioinformatics tools — 1,770+ on the main server alone, covering everything from FASTQ QC to metagenomics to protein structure prediction. But discovering the right tool requires knowing exact tool IDs, navigating nested ToolShed categories, and understanding parameter schemas.
Galaxy Bridge makes these tools agent-accessible: search by natural language, execute via CLI, and chain Galaxy tools with ClawBio's local skills for cross-platform workflows that neither system can do alone.
Core Capabilities
Intelligent tool recommendation — describe a task in plain English; multi-signal scoring across 7 dimensions returns the best Galaxy tool with explanations
GALAXY_API_KEY environment variable (register at usegalaxy.org)
Safety
Local-first search: Tool discovery uses the bundled galaxy_catalog.json — no API calls needed
API key optional: Demo mode and search work without credentials
No data retention: Uploaded files are deleted from Galaxy after output retrieval
Reproducibility: Every execution generates a full provenance bundle
