Query the NCI CCDI Molecular Targets Platform (pediatric oncology) for targets (genes), diseases, drugs, and target-disease associations via its public GraphQL API.

  • Works in 8 steps: Free-text search ("neuroblastoma") → Target lookup by Ensembl ID… → Disease lookup by ontology ID… → …
  • Tasks that involve GraphQL
  • SKILL.md covers Entity Auto-Detection, API, Usage and Data Source, plus 1 more section
  • Runs Python scripts from its folder; reaches moleculartargets.ccdi.cancer.gov

What it does

Molecular Targets Query is an agent skill from QSong-github/DrugClaw. Query the NCI CCDI Molecular Targets Platform (pediatric oncology) for targets (genes), diseases, drugs, and target-disease associations via its public GraphQL API. Auto-detects entity type from input string.

Its SKILL.md is about 740 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files (for example `__init__.py`, `example.py` and `molecular_targets_skill.py`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering GraphQL. It works with GraphQL and Ensembl. 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

  • Tasks that involve GraphQL

Example prompts

  • “/molecular-targets-query”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Free-text search ("neuroblastoma")
  2. Target lookup by Ensembl ID ("ENSG00000141510" → TP53)
  3. Disease lookup by ontology ID ("MONDO_0005072")
  4. Drug lookup by ChEMBL ID ("CHEMBL941" → imatinib)
  5. Target → disease associations
  6. Disease → target associations
  7. Batch search (mixed entity types)
  8. JSON pipeline output

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:

    • moleculartargets.ccdi.cancer.gov

    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

Molecular Targets Query loads about 744 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 290 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~58
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~744

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 290 words (~744 tokens).

“Search the CCDI Molecular Targets Platform — an NCI-supported Open Targets instance focused on preclinical pediatric oncology data. Includes FDA Pediatric Molecular Target Lists and additional pediatric cancer datasets.”
