molclaw-visualize-molecule

molclaw-visualize-molecule is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from InternScience/MolClaw. It costs 37 tokens per session (416 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A scientific imaging tool that turns a SMILES string or molecular structure file into a PNG depiction. SMILES is a text notation for describing a chemical molecule.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to depict molecules from SMILES text or uploaded SDF, SMI, SMILES, or MOL files.
Why use it?
It gives developers and researchers a visual representation of a molecule without claiming to calculate its properties or interactions.

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-visualize-molecule 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 2d 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

MolClaw Molecule Visualization

Use the live MCP tool visualize_molecule when the task needs a simple molecular structure image.

This tool produces a depiction only. It does not calculate molecular properties or protein–ligand interactions. Use interaction_visualizer instead when the task requires residue-level interaction analysis.

Input

The live schema has one required field:

Field Type Meaning
input string A SMILES string or a server-side .sdf, .smi, .smiles, or .mol path

For a local molecular file, upload it with the MolClaw file-transfer tool first and pass the returned server-side artifact path. Do not invent a server path.

MCP call

From a SMILES string:

<tool_call>{"tool_name":"visualize_molecule","arguments":{"input":"CCO"}}</tool_call>

From a server-side artifact:

<tool_call>{"tool_name":"visualize_molecule","arguments":{"input":"<artifact:molecule/candidate.sdf>"}}</tool_call>

Output

On success, the result contains:

  • status: "success"
  • msg
  • image_path: server-generated PNG path

Treat the returned image as the authoritative artifact. In Drug-Pipe online inference, the raw server path is converted to a canonical artifact reference before it is shown to the model or used in the final answer.

If the tool returns an error, preserve the observation and revise the input; do not claim that an image was created.

Changes

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-visualize-molecule is a skill published in the GitHub repository InternScience/MolClaw (33 stars, last pushed 29d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 416 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-09-03.
