SUMMARY

What it does

This Agent Skill instructs an agent to query documented public database APIs with explicit endpoints, filters, pagination, and provenance. It catalogs 78 public databases across domains (physics, earth science, chemistry, materials, biology, clinical, patents, finance, social science) and provides guidance on identifier resolution, API key handling, rate limits, pagination, and auditable result reporting. The skill emphasizes reproducible retrieval, treating external responses as untrusted data, and failing visibly when completeness cannot be guaranteed. It is designed for use in scientific, regulatory, financial, or other database-backed fact retrieval.
