Reagent Substitute Scout

Find validated alternative reagents based on literature citation data.

This skill appears coherent with its stated purpose, but take these practical precautions before running it: (1) Review scripts/main.py yourself (or run python -m py_compile) to confirm no unexpected behavior. (2) Run inside a virtualenv/container before installing dependencies (rdkit can be large). (3) Provide API keys only to trusted services; PubMed and PubChem endpoints shown are official, but 'google_scholar' support is often implemented via unofficial APIs or scraping — be cautious and prefer enabled=False unless you know the implementation. (4) The skill uses network calls to public APIs and may cache results under ~/.cache and read/write ~/.config/reagent-substitute-scout/config.json; if you store secrets, protect that file. (5) If you need stronger assurance, ask the maintainer for the remainder of main.py (the provided file was truncated in the package listing) and verify there are no hidden endpoints or telemetry.

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: reagent-substitute-scout Version: 1.0.0 The reagent-substitute-scout skill is a legitimate scientific tool designed to find alternative chemical reagents using literature citation data from PubMed and structural similarity data from PubChem. The implementation in scripts/main.py is well-structured, uses standard libraries (requests, rdkit, biopython), and contains no evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or unauthorized execution. It includes a small offline database for common reagents and follows secure coding practices such as using timeouts for network requests and providing a clear security checklist in SKILL.md.
