ncbi-clinicaltables-skill

Send a JSON object with a terms field, such as {"terms":"TP53"}, to the helper script via stdin. It queries the clinicaltables.nlm.nih.gov ncbi_genes endpoint and returns matching GeneIDs, symbols, and descriptions.

Use the count and offset parameters inside the params object, for example {"count":10,"offset":10} to fetch the second page. Keep count modest and page with offset rather than requesting large result sets at once.

Use Clinical Tables when you want concise autocomplete-style search rows for human genes. Prefer an Entrez-based approach when you need full general Entrez Gene records with detailed annotations rather than search summaries.

Pass the df parameter inside params, such as "df":"GeneID,Symbol,description", to choose display fields. You can also use ef and sf for extra and search field options supported by the API.

The script requires the Python requests package to call the API. If requests is not installed, it returns an error with code missing_dependency; install requests and rerun the command.

Yes, set save_raw to true in the input JSON and optionally provide raw_output_path. The full response is written to that file, defaulting to /tmp/ncbi-gene-search.json, and the path is reported in the output.
