get_uniprot_generic_unipdb_api_uniprot_unipdb__uniprot_acces

Read-only

Retrieve PDB structure information mapped to a UniProt accession, including sequence, residue coverage, mutations, ligands, and resolution.

Instructions

Retrieve comprehensive information on PDB structures mapped to a given UniProt accession. The response includes the UniProt sequence and length, along with detailed structure annotations such as entity and chain identifiers, residue coverage in UniProt and PDB numbering, observed regions, mutations, modifications, experiment type, resolution, ligand and entity counts, and supporting metadata like titles, ranking scores, and additional structure-specific information. This endpoint provides an integrated view of how PDB structures align with and represent the UniProt sequence

Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, indicating safe read-only operation. The description adds detail on response contents but not on behavioral traits like rate limits or authorization. No contradiction with annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Description is front-loaded with purpose and provides a thorough list of response components. Somewhat verbose but every sentence adds value for understanding the tool's output.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's complexity and lack of output schema, the description enumerates many response fields, providing reasonable completeness. Sibling context is available, aiding selection.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% for the single parameter, with clear description in schema. The description does not add extra semantics beyond schema, meeting baseline.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool retrieves comprehensive information on PDB structures mapped to a UniProt accession, listing specific components. It implicitly differentiates from siblings by focusing on the integrated mapping view, unlike simpler annotation or structure tools.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. No mention of prerequisites or conditions. Sibling tools exist for similar tasks, but no comparative advice is provided.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
