Operating rules

  • Use scripts/rest_request.py for all eQTL Catalogue calls.
  • Use base_url=https://www.ebi.ac.uk/eqtl/api.
  • Prefer targeted association endpoints over broad list endpoints.
  • The public API currently appears strict about query validation, and live smoke tests returned intermittent 400/500/timeout failures even with documented parameter sets; treat this source as usable but upstream-fragile.
  • For association endpoints, the script now backfills compatibility defaults for quant_method, p_lower, p_upper, and blank filter strings because the live API is currently rejecting omitted optional filters.
  • Prefer variant_id in requests; the script mirrors it to the legacy snp query key to accommodate the current server-side validator.
  • Re-run requests in long conversations instead of relying on older tool output.

Execution behavior

  • Return concise markdown summaries from the script JSON by default.
  • Return raw JSON only if the user explicitly asks for machine-readable output.
  • Prefer documented association paths such as genes/<gene_id>/associations, studies/<study>/associations, or tissue/study-scoped association routes with explicit filters, and surface upstream 400/500 errors verbatim when they occur.

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 eQTL Catalogue patterns:
