Submit compact STRING API requests for network, interaction partner, and enrichment endpoints. Use when a user wants concise STRING summaries
🔥🔥🔥✓ VerifiedFreeQuick setup
🧩 One of 7 skills in the openai/plugins package — works on its own, and pairs well with its siblings.
This is the playbook your agent receives when the skill activates — you don't need to read it to use the skill, but it's here to audit before installing.
name: string-skill description: Submit compact STRING API requests for network, interaction partner, and enrichment endpoints. Use when a user wants concise STRING summaries
Operating rules
- Use
scripts/rest_request.pyfor all STRING API calls. - Use
base_url=https://string-db.org/api/json. - Use
method=POSTwithform_bodyfor STRING endpoints. - Include
caller_identityinform_body; keep it stable within a session when possible. - The script accepts
max_items; fornetworkandinteraction_partners, start with APIlimit=10andmax_items=10. - For
enrichment, summarize the top5to10rows unless the user asks for more. - Re-run requests in long conversations instead of relying on prior tool output.
- Treat displayed
...in tool previews as UI truncation, not literal request content.
Execution behavior
- Return concise markdown summaries from the script JSON by default.
- Return the script JSON verbatim only if the user explicitly asks for machine-readable output.
- Prefer these paths:
network,interaction_partners, andenrichment. - For long identifier lists, keep the request small and paged; if full results are needed, use
save_raw=true.
Input
- Read one JSON object from stdin.
- Required fields:
base_url,path - Optional fields:
method,params,headers,json_body,form_body,record_path,response_format,max_items,max_depth,timeout_sec,save_raw,raw_output_path - Common STRING patterns:
{"base_url":"https://string-db.org/api/json","path":"network","method":"POST","form_body":{"identifiers":"TP53","species":9606,"caller_identity":"chatgpt-skill","limit":10},"max_items":10}{"base_url":"https://string-db.org/api/json","path":"interaction_partners","method":"POST","form_body":{"identifier":"TP53","species":9606,"caller_identity":"chatgpt-skill","limit":10},"max_items":10}
Output
- Success returns
ok,source,path,method,status_code,warnings, and either compactrecordsor a compactsummary. - Use
raw_output_pathwhensave_raw=true. - Failure returns
ok=falsewitherror.codeanderror.message.
Execution
echo '{"base_url":"https://string-db.org/api/json","path":"network","method":"POST","form_body":{"identifiers":"TP53","species":9606,"caller_identity":"chatgpt-skill","limit":10},"max_items":10}' | python scripts/rest_request.pyReferences
- No additional runtime references are required; keep the import package limited to this file and
scripts/rest_request.py.
