What it does

Chembl Query is an agent skill from QSong-github/DrugClaw. Query the ChEMBL database for drug molecules, bioactivity data, and drug targets via the ChEMBL REST API. Use whenever the user asks about drug properties (molecular weight, logP, Lipinski violations), drug-target interactions, bioactivity assay results, or wants to look up any entity by ChEMBL ID or drug/gene name in ChEMBL. Supports single entity or batch queries. No API key required.

Its SKILL.md is about 630 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files (for example `README.md`, `__init__.py` and `chembl_skill.py`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering REST APIs. The repository describes itself as: 🦀 Agentic RAG for drug intelligence · 57 skills · 15 task categories · DTI · ADR · DDI · PGx · Repurposing · Powered by LangGraph.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks about drug properties (molecular weight
  • Lipinski violations)
  • Drug-target interactions
  • Bioactivity assay results

Example prompts

  • “/chembl-query”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Single molecule by ID — query_molecules("CHEMBL25")
  2. Batch molecule search by name — query_molecules(["ibuprofen", "metformin"], limit=3)
  3. Bioactivities for multiple molecules — query_bioactivities(["CHEMBL25", "CHEMBL1642"], limit=3)
  4. Single target by gene name — query_targets("EGFR", limit=3)
  5. Batch target lookup by ID — query_targets(["CHEMBL203", "CHEMBL204"])

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bc7b93e. 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

    Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.

    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:

    • ebi.ac.uk

    Also links to:

    • doi.org

    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

Chembl Query loads about 632 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 101 tokens; SKILL.md has 192 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~101
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~632

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 192 words (~632 tokens).
