query-ensembl

query-ensembl is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Runchuan-BU/BioClaw. It costs 75 tokens per session (916 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A lookup tool for Ensembl, a public resource containing genome, gene, transcript, sequence, and variant information for many species.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find gene coordinates, genomic sequences, variants, exons, transcripts, variant locations, and comparisons between species.
Why use it?
It provides genomic details from a recognised reference source without requiring manual database searches.

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

query-ensembl scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 11d 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.

A licence we could not identify

The repository carries a LICENSE file, but it is custom or dual enough that GitHub cannot name it and neither can this catalogue. Unknown terms are not permission, so the body is not copied here. Read the licence at the source and decide for yourself.

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.

query-ensembl is a skill published in the GitHub repository Runchuan-BU/BioClaw (407 stars, last pushed 18d ago), with no licence file. It adds 75 tokens to every session and 916 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
