Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00208 | $0.04334 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00104 | $0.02167 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00042 | $0.00867 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00021 | $0.00433 |
Grade A, and why
setup-tooluniverse 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 8d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 358 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Setup ToolUniverse
Guide the user step-by-step through setting up ToolUniverse.
Agent Behavior
- Detect language from user's first message. Respond in their language; keep commands/URLs in English.
- Go one step at a time. Ask before proceeding.
- Use AskQuestion for structured choices.
- Explain briefly in plain language. Celebrate small wins.
- When something goes wrong, help troubleshoot before moving on.
Internal Notes (do not show)
ToolUniverse has 1200+ tools. The tooluniverse command enables compact mode automatically, exposing only 5 core MCP tools (list_tools, grep_tools, get_tool_info, execute_tool, find_tools) while keeping all tools accessible via execute_tool.
What is ToolUniverse?
Always explain first, in plain language:
ToolUniverse is free, open-source software connecting to 2,000+ scientific databases (PubMed, UniProt, ChEMBL, FAERS, ClinicalTrials.gov, etc.). Instead of visiting each website, you search from one place. Think of it like a universal remote for scientific databases.
Why AI assistants? The AI reads your question, figures out which databases to search, runs queries, and summarizes results. You just ask your question.
Step 1: Choose How to Use It
Present using AskQuestion:
| Mode | What it means | Who it's for |
|---|---|---|
| Chat mode | Ask questions to an AI assistant. No coding. | Most researchers. |
| Command line | Type short commands in Terminal. | Quick tests. Terminal-comfortable users. |
| Python code | Write scripts for automated pipelines. | Programmers. |
Options: "I want to ask questions" → Chat mode | "Quick try" → CLI | "I write Python" → SDK | "I don't know" → Recommend Chat mode
If Chat mode, ask which app (AskQuestion): Cursor, Claude Desktop, VS Code/Copilot, Windsurf, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex, Cline/Trae/Antigravity/OpenCode. "I don't have any" → Recommend Claude Desktop.
Step 2: Install uv
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.

setup-tooluniverse is a skill published in the GitHub repository Zaoqu-Liu/ScienceClaw (60 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 208 tokens to every session and 4,334 once invoked, about $0.0010 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.
