What it does
Openfda Human Drug is an agent skill from QSong-github/DrugClaw. Query FDA drug labeling data via openFDA. Use whenever the user asks about drug prescribing information — indications, warnings, dosage, adverse reactions, contraindications, or administration routes. Supports single or batch lookup by brand/generic name or by indication/condition.
Its SKILL.md is about 470 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 `example.py`).
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 prescribing information — indications
- Adverse reactions
- Contraindications
- Administration routes
Example prompts
- “/openfda-human-drug”
Requirements
- Python 3
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:
api.fda.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
Openfda Human Drug loads about 465 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 156 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 156 words (~465 tokens).
“Query structured SPL (Structured Product Labeling) data from the FDA. No API key needed (≤1 000 req/day).”
