tooluniverse-clinical-guidelines

tooluniverse-clinical-guidelines is a skill for Claude Code from mims-harvard/ToolUniverse. It costs 94 tokens per session (4,326 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A search and retrieval tool for clinical practice guidelines from medical authorities such as NICE, WHO, NCCN, and the American Heart Association. Clinical guidelines are evidence-based recommendations for care, including screening, treatment, and dosing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to locate and compare guidance for treatment decisions, medication doses, screening, and condition-specific clinical protocols.
Why use it?
It helps find relevant recommendations while weighing source authority and publication date. This matters because older medical guidance may have been replaced by newer guidance.

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

tooluniverse-clinical-guidelines 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 12d 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.

Clinical Guidelines Search & Retrieval

Guideline Hierarchy

Not all guidelines carry equal weight. Evaluate sources in this order:

  1. NICE and WHO — Evidence-graded, regularly updated, rigorous systematic review process. NICE guidelines include explicit recommendation strength (e.g., "offer" vs "consider").
  2. Society guidelines (AHA, ADA, NCCN, SIGN) — Expert-consensus panels within a specialty. May lag behind the latest evidence by 1-3 years. Strong within their domain but narrower scope.
  3. Aggregator databases (GIN, TRIP, OpenAlex) — Index guidelines from multiple societies. Good for breadth and discovery, but you must verify the original source.
  4. Literature databases (PubMed, EuropePMC) — Return guideline-related publications, not curated guideline text. Useful as a fallback, not a primary source.

Always check publication date. A 2015 guideline may be superseded by a 2024 update. When presenting results, include the year prominently and note if newer guidance may exist.


COMPUTE, DON'T DESCRIBE

When analysis requires computation (statistics, data processing, scoring, enrichment), write and run Python code via Bash. Don't describe what you would do — execute it and report actual results. Use ToolUniverse tools to retrieve data, then Python (pandas, scipy, statsmodels, matplotlib) to analyze it.

Search Strategy

Step 1: Start Narrow, Then Broaden

  1. Search the condition name + "guideline" in NICE, TRIP, and GIN simultaneously (parallel calls).
  2. If the question targets a specialty, add the society tool: AHA for cardiology, ADA for diabetes, NCCN for oncology, CPIC for pharmacogenomics.
  3. If initial searches return nothing, broaden to the disease category (e.g., "heart failure" instead of "HFpEF with SGLT2 inhibitors").
  4. If society-specific tools fail, fall back to PubMed/EuropePMC with [condition] guideline [year].

Step 2: Search at Least 3 Sources

Always query a minimum of 3 databases to catch guidelines that one source may miss. Prioritize: NICE > GIN > TRIP > Society-specific > Literature databases.

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.
