spraay_research_chemistry_bioactivity

Read-only

Retrieve biological assay results for any PubChem compound with pay-per-request USDC payment.

Instructions

Biological assay results for a PubChem compound. Costs $0.002 USDC per call. Read-only. Pass the listed fields directly as typed arguments.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
cidYescid parameter

Output Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
okYesTrue when the gateway call succeeded; false when it returned an error.
dataNoThe gateway response payload on success. The exact shape depends on the tool (see the tool description and the JSON in the text content block).
errorNoHuman-readable error message, present only when ok is false.
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and openWorldHint. The description adds behavioral context: cost ($0.002 per call) and the requirement to pass fields directly. No contradictions 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.

Conciseness5/5

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

Two sentences, no filler. The first sentence states the core action, the second adds cost and usage notes. Every word earns its place.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Given the simple input (one parameter) and the presence of an output schema, the description adequately covers what the tool does, its cost, its read-only nature, and how to invoke it. No gaps for this complexity level.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100% but parameter description is minimal ('cid parameter'). The tool description adds meaning by stating it provides bioassay results for a PubChem compound, clarifying that 'cid' is a PubChem compound ID.

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 provides biological assay results for a PubChem compound. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like spraay_research_chemistry_compound (compound properties) and spraay_research_chemistry_similarity (similarity search).

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description includes cost and read-only info, and instructs to pass listed fields directly. However, it does not explicitly differentiate when to use this versus similar sibling tools, leaving usage guidance vague.

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