molclaw-compound-retrieve

molclaw-compound-retrieve is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from InternScience/MolClaw. It costs 25 tokens per session (351 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A lookup tool that finds a compound's SMILES string from its name. SMILES is a text format used to represent a molecule's structure; it queries PubChem first and an NCI service if needed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to retrieve structures for compounds such as aspirin or caffeine, including lists of multiple compound names.
Why use it?
It removes the need to search chemical databases manually or convert compound names yourself. Results can also show when no structure was found.

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 A, and why

molclaw-compound-retrieve scanned grade A with 0 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 5d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Retrieve Compound SMILES

Note:

  • Local files are not directly accessible by the server. Please upload them to the server using molclaw-file-transfer before execution.
  • For PDB file inputs, it is recommended to preprocess them using molclaw-pdbfixer before execution.
  • Please refer to skill molclaw-scp-server to complete tool invocation.

The description of tool retrieve_smiles_by_compoundname.

Retrieve SMILES strings by compound name. The service queries PubChem first and falls back to the NCI resolver when PubChem is busy or unavailable.
Args:
    compound_names (List[str]): List of input compound names (e.g., ["aspirin", "caffeine"])
Return:
    status (str): success/partial_success/error
    msg (str): message
    retrieve_smiles (List[dict]): List of dict, each containing the keys 'compound_name' and 'smiles'.
        --compound_name (str): A compound name of compound_names 
        --smiles (str): The retrieved SMILES string, if it exists; otherwise, None.

How to use tool retrieve_smiles_by_compoundname :

response = await client.session.call_tool(
    "retrieve_smiles_by_compoundname",
    arguments={
        "compound_names": compound_names
    }
)
result = client.parse_result(response)
retrieve_smiles = result["retrieve_smiles"]

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.

molclaw-compound-retrieve is a skill published in the GitHub repository InternScience/MolClaw (33 stars, last pushed 29d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 351 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
