tooluniverse-kegg-disease-drug

tooluniverse-kegg-disease-drug is a skill for Claude Code from mims-harvard/ToolUniverse. It costs 104 tokens per session (2,740 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A research workflow using the KEGG database to connect diseases, genes, drugs, genetic variants, and biological pathways. KEGG is a curated reference database that organizes these relationships for biological research.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to explore drug repurposing ideas, disease mechanisms, gene–drug relationships, and variant-linked pathways.
Why use it?
It helps trace whether a drug directly targets a disease-related gene or only affects a related pathway, while reducing errors from mismatched identifiers.

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-kegg-disease-drug 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 10d 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.

KEGG Disease-Drug-Variant Research

Systematic exploration of disease-drug-variant relationships using KEGG's curated databases.

Reasoning Strategy

KEGG maps diseases to pathways and drugs to targets, but the real value is in the connections — which pathways link a disease gene to a drug target? This is a network question, not a simple lookup. A gene appearing in a KEGG disease entry has been editorially reviewed as mechanistically relevant; a drug entry with a confirmed target is more reliable than one inferred from pathway co-membership. When using KEGG for drug repurposing, always ask: is the drug-target relationship direct (the drug binds the gene product) or indirect (the drug affects a pathway that contains the gene)? Direct relationships are far stronger evidence. KEGG coverage is not exhaustive — absence from KEGG does not mean absence of biological involvement; complement with Reactome, WikiPathways, or CTD for broader coverage. ID namespace differences are a frequent source of errors: KEGG uses its own gene IDs (e.g., hsa:7157 for TP53), so always convert external IDs before querying KEGG-specific tools.

LOOK UP DON'T GUESS: Do not assume KEGG disease IDs, drug IDs, or gene IDs from memory — always search first with KEGG_search_disease, KEGG_search_drug, or KEGG_convert_ids. Do not assume which pathways link a disease gene to a drug; use KEGG_link_entries and KEGG_get_network to retrieve the actual connections.

When to Use

  • "What genes are associated with [disease] in KEGG?"
  • "Find KEGG drugs targeting [gene/pathway]"
  • "What variants are linked to [disease] in KEGG?"
  • "Show the KEGG disease-gene-drug network for [condition]"
  • "Find drugs targeting BRAF variants in cancer"
