At a glance

Retrieve SMILES strings from PubChem using compound names. An agent skill from InternScience/scp.

  • Works in 2 steps: MCP Server Definition → Tool Usage
  • Tasks that involve Drug discovery and cheminformatics
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Drugsda Compound Retrieve is an agent skill from InternScience/scp. Retrieve SMILES strings from PubChem using compound names.

Its SKILL.md is about 790 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Research & Science, covering Drug discovery and cheminformatics. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Drug discovery and cheminformatics

Example prompts

  • “/drugsda-compound-retrieve”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. MCP Server Definition
  2. Tool Usage

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cea5398. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are python and tex).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Drugsda Compound Retrieve loads about 794 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 21 tokens; SKILL.md has 20 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~21
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~794

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

2. Tool Usage

The description of tool retrieve_smiles_by_compoundname.

tex
Retrieve SMILES strings from PubChem using compound names.
Args:
    compound_names (List[str]): List of input compound names (e.g., ["aspirin", "caffeine"])
Return:
    status (str): success/partial_success/error
    msg (str): message
    retrieve_smiles (List[dict]): List of dict, each containing the keys 'compound_name' and 'smiles'.
        --compound_name (str): A compound name of compound_names 
        --smiles (str): The retrieved SMILES string, if it exists; otherwise, None.

How to use tool retrieve_smiles_by_compoundname :

python
client = DrugSDAClient("https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/2/DrugSDA-Tool")
if not await client.connect():
    print("connection failed")
    return

response = await client.session.call_tool(
    "retrieve_smiles_by_compoundname",
    arguments={
        "compound_names": compound_names
    }
)
result = client.parse_result(response)
retrieve_smiles = result["retrieve_smiles"]

await client.disconnect()
