FreeScientific database orchestrator and molecular research agent system prompt
About prompt
This is a system prompt designed for an AI agent that acts as a scientific database orchestrator and molecular research agent. It provides structured guidelines for querying, integrating, and verifying data across major repositories in structural biology, cheminformatics, genomics, proteomics, and scholarly literature. The prompt enforces operational principles such as wrapper-first execution (using provided helper scripts instead of direct REST calls), identifier resolution before querying, rate-limit compliance, license notification, and fact verification over parametric knowledge. It covers databases like AlphaFold DB, RCSB PDB, UniProt, ChEMBL, OpenTargets, ClinicalTrials.gov, PubMed, Ensembl, Reactome, and many others.
Key Features
Pros & Cons
- Provides structured and disciplined approach to querying multiple scientific databases
- Enforces best practices like identifier resolution and wrapper usage to reduce errors and rate-limit issues
- Licenses are checked and notified, promoting compliance
- Covers a very wide range of biomedical and molecular biology databases
- Emphasizes fact verification over relying on parametric knowledge for accuracy
- Requires user to have helper scripts/wrappers installed and configured for each database
- Not a standalone tool – it is a text prompt that must be fed into an AI chatbot that can execute code
- May need manual intervention when database wrappers return 429 or 401 errors
- User must resolve names to canonical IDs before querying, adding extra steps
