Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00089 | $0.02958 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00044 | $0.01479 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00592 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00296 |
Grade A, and why
alterlab-metabolomics-wb scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Metabolomics Workbench Database
Overview
The Metabolomics Workbench is a comprehensive NIH Common Fund-sponsored platform hosted at UCSD that serves as the primary repository for metabolomics research data. It provides programmatic access to several thousand processed studies (4,300+ publicly available via the REST API as of 2026-06), standardized metabolite nomenclature through RefMet, and powerful search capabilities across multiple analytical platforms (GC-MS, LC-MS, NMR).
API gotchas (verified 2026-06)
Read these before parsing responses — several behaviors contradict the naive "/json always returns JSON" assumption:
/jsonis not always JSON. Themoverzcontext and thestudysummary/search outputs return tab-delimited text even when you ask for/json. Thescripts/query_metabolomics_wb.pyhelper wraps such bodies as{"raw": "<tsv>"}rather than failing. Parse the TSV; do not assume keyed JSON objects.moverzissues a 302 redirect to an internal.phphandler.urllib/requestsfollow redirects automatically; rawcurldoes not unless you pass-L(otherwise you get an empty body).- List available studies with
/txt, not/json.study/study_id/ST/available/jsonreturns an empty body; usestudy/study_id/ST/available/txt(columns:project_id,study_id,analysis_id). refmet/matchreturns the fieldrefmet_name(plusformula,exactmass, classes,refmet_id) — notname.- Study search by
refmet_nameuses the indexed RefMet name, which may differ fromrefmet/matchoutput (e.g.match/citrategivesCitric acid, but the study index is keyed onTyrosine-style entries). Verify the name resolves to studies; an empty result usually means a name-index mismatch, not "no studies."
Scripts
scripts/query_metabolomics_wb.py — query the Metabolomics Workbench REST API (stdlib only, JSON to stdout):
python scripts/query_metabolomics_wb.py refmet citrate # standardize a name (RefMet)
python scripts/query_metabolomics_wb.py study ST000001 # study summary
python scripts/query_metabolomics_wb.py moverz 635.52 --adduct M+H # m/z search
What ships with it
3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

alterlab-metabolomics-wb is a skill published in the GitHub repository AlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-Skills (66 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 89 tokens to every session and 2,958 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). It is 86% identical to metabolomics-workbench-database, differing in 42 lines, and is treated as a copy.
