Operating rules

• Use scripts/rest_request.py for all RNAcentral calls.
• Use base_url=https://rnacentral.org/api/v1.
• Keep the trailing slash on collection and record paths to avoid redirects.
• Start with rna/ for browsing and rna/<URS>/ or rna/<URS>/xrefs/ for targeted lookups.
• 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 these paths: rna/, rna/<URS>/, and rna/<URS>/xrefs/.

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 RNAcentral patterns:
  • {"base_url":"https://rnacentral.org/api/v1","path":"rna/","params":{"page_size":10},"record_path":"results","max_items":10}
  • {"base_url":"https://rnacentral.org/api/v1","path":"rna/URS0000000001/"}
