What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7a4b429. 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 json).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
- connect.patsnap.com
Also links to:
- open.patsnap.com
- eureka.patsnap.com
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

Patsnap Clinical Trials loads about 683 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 229 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~56
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~683

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.

Patsnap Clinical Trials

This skill connects your AI agent to Patsnap's Clinical Trials MCP server — providing professional-grade life sciences intelligence.

Intelligent clinical trial retrieval system, covering registered trial tracking, trial details and results analysis, and supporting clinical semantic search.

Prerequisites

This skill requires the Patsnap Clinical Trials MCP server to be configured in your environment:

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "clinical_trials": {
      "url": "https://connect.patsnap.com/051cd3/logic-mcp?apikey=YOUR_API_KEY",
      "type": "streamableHttp"
    }
  }
}

Get your API key at open.patsnap.com. For the full list of available tools and input parameters, refer to the official MCP server documentation: https://open.patsnap.com/marketplace/mcp-servers/clinical-trials

Instructions for AI Agents

Step 1: Normalize Entities First

Before executing any search or fetch operation, normalize targets, drugs, diseases, companies, and clinical trial IDs to Patsnap internal IDs when possible. This improves retrieval accuracy.

Step 2: Choose the Right Tool

Select search tools for discovery and corresponding _fetch tools for full records. Use vector search tools for natural-language evidence queries.

Step 3: Fetch Full Records

Search tools return summary results with IDs. Follow up with the appropriate _fetch tool when the user needs complete details.

Step 4: Synthesize and Structure Output

Lead with key findings, cite sources, highlight data gaps, and use tables for comparisons.

Example Workflows

Trial Landscape

Search clinical_trial_search by drug, disease, and phase.
Fetch trial details with clinical_trial_fetch.
Search results with clinical_trial_result_search for published outcomes.
