Is this skill suitable for safety assessment?

Yes, it provides access to safety liabilities, genetic constraint scores, and known toxicity concerns from multiple curated databases.

Can I use this for drug repurposing research?

Yes, the skill allows you to search for drugs by disease, examine their mechanisms of action, and retrieve clinical trial statuses for various indications.

Do I need an API key to use this skill?

No, the Open Targets GraphQL API used by this skill does not require authentication or an API key for standard programmatic access.

What data sources does this skill access?

It queries the Open Targets Platform, which integrates data from human genetics, omics, scientific literature, and clinical trials via their public GraphQL API.

What identifiers are used for targets and diseases?

The skill uses Ensembl gene IDs (e.g., ENSG00000012048) for targets and EFO (Experimental Factor Ontology) IDs for diseases.
