Operating rules

  • Use scripts/rest_request.py for all AlphaFold API calls.
  • Use base_url=https://alphafold.ebi.ac.uk/api.
  • The script accepts max_items, but set it explicitly only when trimming array-heavy responses; single-entry lookups usually do not need it.
  • For sequence/summary or annotations, start around max_items=3 to 5.
  • Re-run the request if the conversation is long instead of trusting older tool output.
  • Treat displayed ... in tool previews as UI truncation, not part of the real request.
  • If the user asks for full JSON, set save_raw=true and report the saved file path instead of pasting the payload into chat.

Execution behavior

  • Return concise markdown summaries from the script JSON by default.
  • Return the script JSON verbatim only if the user explicitly asks for machine-readable output.
  • Prefer these paths: prediction/<qualifier>, uniprot/summary/<qualifier>.json, sequence/summary, and annotations/<qualifier>.json.
  • Keep sequence-style inputs compact and prefer rerunning instead of copying prior output back into context.

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
