PubChem

Overview

Resolve compound identities and basic compound metadata through PubChem PUG REST. Each script is provider-scoped and writes a stable JSON result file in the requested output directory.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

• a prompt contains a common name, synonym, formula, or PubChem CID
• an agent needs PubChem synonyms or compound properties
• a public similarity lookup against PubChem analogs is useful
• a compact provider-only compound profile is enough for the next step

Do not use this skill for structural validation. After PubChem returns a structure, hand it to the rdkit skill for canonicalization or validation.

Harbor Trial execution

Harbor copies this allowlisted skill to $HOME/.openclaw/skills/pubchem inside the disposable Trial container. Run from /workspace with the direct script path; the retired benchmark runner and host workspace are not available.

python "$HOME/.openclaw/skills/pubchem/scripts/name_to_cid.py" \
  --request-json /workspace/requests/pubchem.json \
  --output-dir /workspace/outputs/pubchem \
  --json
