TogoMCP_Usage_Guide
Get the usage guide that enforces a four-step workflow for querying biological databases, including classification, entity analysis, database discovery, and SPARQL execution, to prevent common failures.
Instructions
⚠️ CALL THIS TOOL FIRST every turn, before any other TogoMCP tool.
Returns the v4 Usage Guide, which enforces the empirically-validated workflow:
GATE 0: classify the question (bounded → STEP −1 | open-ended → EXPLORATION).
STEP −1: analyze entities, databases, endpoints (no tools).
STEP 0: find_databases(keywords=[...]) — token-efficient discovery.
STEP 1: specialized search or ncbi_esearch — ground in real IRIs.
STEP 2: get_MIE_file(database) — required before any run_sparql.
STEP 3: run_sparql() — LIMIT 10 first; max 2 consecutive calls, then pivot.
STEP 4: synthesize — each fact once, no meta-commentary.Why this matters (measured): questions with ≥3 consecutive run_sparql calls score 1.26 points lower than compliant ones; jumping to text search before reading the MIE schema accounts for ~95% of silent SPARQL failures. The guide also documents the controlled category taxonomy used by find_databases() and the EXPLORATION habits (Seed Definition, concierge check, prioritized Next Steps) for open-ended deep dives.
Re-run GATE 0 every turn — prior workflow does not carry forward.
Returns: str: The content of the TogoMCP v4 usage guide.
