Operating rules

• Use scripts/rest_request.py for all BindingDB API calls.
• Use base_url=https://bindingdb.org.
• Add response=application/json in params when you want structured output; some empty-result cases may still return an empty body.
• For broad lookup endpoints, start around max_items=10; similarity-style queries are better with 5-10.
• 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: rest/getLigandsByPDBs, rest/getLigandsByUniprots, rest/getLigandsBySmiles, and rest/getTargetsByCompound.
• If the user needs the full payload, set save_raw=true and report the saved file path instead of pasting large response bodies into chat.

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 BindingDB patterns:
  • {"base_url":"https://bindingdb.org","path":"rest/getLigandsByPDBs","params":{"pdb":"1Q0L","cutoff":100,"identity":92,"response":"application/json"},"max_items":10}
