Operating rules

• Use scripts/rest_request.py for all EVA calls.
• Use base_url=https://www.ebi.ac.uk/eva/webservices/rest/v1.
• Prefer metadata and targeted variant lookups over broad genomic window pulls.
• Keep region queries narrow by species, assembly, or small coordinate windows when possible.
• Re-run requests in long conversations instead of relying on older tool output.

Execution behavior

• Return concise markdown summaries from the script JSON by default.
• Return raw JSON only if the user explicitly asks for machine-readable output.
• Prefer these paths: meta/species/list and targeted variant or region routes from the EVA REST API.

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 EVA patterns:
  • {"base_url":"https://www.ebi.ac.uk/eva/webservices/rest/v1","path":"meta/species/list","record_path":"response.0.result","max_items":10}
  • {"base_url":"https://www.ebi.ac.uk/eva/webservices/rest/v1","path":"variants/rs699","max_items":10}

Output

• Success returns ok, source, path, method, status_code, warnings, and either compact records or a compact summary.
• Use raw_output_path when save_raw=true.
• Failure returns ok=false with error.code and error.message.

Execution

echo '{"base_url":"https://www.ebi.ac.uk/eva/webservices/rest/v1","path":"meta/species/list","record_path":"response.0.result","max_items":10}' | python scripts/rest_request.py

References

• No additional runtime references are required; keep the import package limited to this file and scripts/rest_request.py.
