database-lookup

database-lookup is a skill for Claude Code from dralkh/seerai. It costs 82 tokens per session (8,227 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A skill for reproducibly querying 78 public databases covering areas such as biology, medicine, materials, finance, regulation, and demographics.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps retrieve information about compounds, genes, proteins, pathways, variants, clinical trials, patents, economic indicators, molecular structures, and astronomy objects.
Why use it?
It replaces ad hoc searching with documented database requests, explicit filters, pagination, validation, and records that others can repeat.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade B, and why

database-lookup scanned grade B with 2 findings 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 1mo 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.

Sends data to an external URLmediumData exfiltration

A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

These databases require HTTP POST and **will not work with WebFetch** (GET-only). Use `curl` via your platform's shell tool instead:

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 522 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Database Lookup

You have access to 78 public databases through documented REST APIs. Your job is to turn the user's intent into a reproducible retrieval: select the authoritative database(s), make complete and rate-limited API calls, verify counts when completeness matters, and return results with enough provenance that another agent or human can repeat the lookup.

For complex biomedical retrievals, assume small filtering differences can change downstream conclusions. Prefer deterministic APIs, explicit identifiers, exhaustive pagination, and auditable logs over broad searching or plausible summaries.

Core Workflow

  1. Define the retrieval contract — Identify the target entity, accepted identifiers, organism/taxon/build/date constraints, filters, expected output fields, and whether the user needs an exhaustive dataset or a targeted lookup. If a required scientific constraint is missing and affects correctness, ask a clarifying question rather than guessing.

  2. Select authoritative database(s) — Use the database selection guide below. Prefer the primary database for the user's intent, then add cross-check databases only for identifier resolution, validation, or known coverage gaps. Do not fan out across many APIs just because they are available.

  3. Read the reference file and retrieval contract — Each database has a reference file in references/ with endpoint details, query formats, and example calls. Read the relevant file(s) and references/retrieval-contract.md before making API calls.

  4. Plan filter semantics before calling — Separate filters the API enforces server-side from filters that must be checked locally. Note identifier conversions, fields with ambiguous meanings, pagination strategy, rate limits, and any data-source conventions such as RefSeq vs GenBank or genome build.

  5. Make complete API calls — See the Making API Calls section below. For exhaustive retrievals, count first when the API supports it, paginate or batch until retrieved counts reconcile, and fail visibly if the final dataset is incomplete.

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.

database-lookup is a skill published in the GitHub repository dralkh/seerai (94 stars, last pushed 18d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 82 tokens to every session and 8,227 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (sends data to an external url, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
