uniprot_resolve_interpro

Read-only

Lists InterPro domain and family signatures for a UniProt accession, extracting names from cross-reference properties.

Instructions

List InterPro signatures (domain / family classifications) for a UniProt entry, with names extracted from the entry's cross-reference properties.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
accessionYesUniProt accession, e.g. 'P04637' (human TP53) or 'P38398' (human BRCA1). Both reviewed (Swiss-Prot) and unreviewed (TrEMBL) accessions are accepted; case-sensitive.
response_formatNo'markdown' (default) for a human-readable report with a provenance footer, or 'json' for a machine-parseable structured payload with the same data. Any other value is rejected.markdown

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint and openWorldHint, so the description adds moderate context about cross-reference extraction but no additional behavioral details like error handling or rate limits.

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?

Single sentence is concise and front-loaded with key action and resource, but lacks structural elements like bullet points or separate sections.

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?

Output schema exists, so return values need not be described; description adequately covers tool purpose and data source but omits error handling or parameter validation notes.

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%, and the description does not add new meaning to parameters beyond the schema's existing explanations; baseline score appropriate.

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 explicitly states 'List InterPro signatures' with clear focus on UniProt entries and distinguishes from sibling resolve_* tools by specifying InterPro specifically.

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?

No explicit when-to-use or alternatives are given, but the tool's name and description imply its purpose for InterPro data, providing minimal guidance compared to siblings.

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