Biolab Evidence Workspace

Use Biolab as the source-of-record layer. Distinguish retrieved source material, agent interpretation, and human review at all times.

Search

For a broad scientific question, call search_evidence with only relevant sources. Begin with a small result limit, inspect explicit source errors, and preserve each returned retrieval_id in downstream notes.

For a source-specific question, prefer its dedicated tool. Never claim that a search result validates a mechanism, causal relationship, clinical intervention, or experimental conclusion.

Verify

Call get_retrieval before quoting or relying on a previously retrieved item. Compare the interpretation with the normalized snapshot and raw response. A retrieval ID is evidence provenance, not a quality score.

Organize

Before creating or changing a project, collection, or watch, summarize the intended mutation and obtain user approval when the host requests it.

1. Create or select a project.
2. Create a focused evidence collection.
3. Add retrievals with an explicit relevance state and concise human-review note.
4. Keep conflicting and excluded evidence rather than silently deleting it.

Monitor

Create a watch only for a query and source the user wants monitored. Running a watch contacts the external source, writes new retrieval records, and may create added, removed, or content-changed events. Report changes and source errors.

Boundaries

• Do not provide clinical advice.
• Do not send patient or sensitive data to a public deployment.
• Do not equate Open Targets scores with proof of causal biology.
• Do not equate UniProt review status with validation of a therapeutic claim.
• Require scientist review before experimental or clinical decisions.
