Operating rules

  • Use scripts/rest_request.py for all OLS4 and EFO API calls.
  • Use base_url=https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ols4/api.
  • Search, children, and descendant endpoints are better with max_items=10; single term lookups usually do not need max_items.
  • Use the smallest ontology expansion that answers the question.
  • 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: search, ontologies/efo/terms/<double-encoded-iri>, and the corresponding children or descendants paths.
  • If the user needs the full payload, set save_raw=true and report the saved file path.

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 OLS4 patterns:
    • {"base_url":"https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ols4/api","path":"search","params":{"q":"asthma","ontology":"efo"},"record_path":"response.docs","max_items":10}
