[Forge] Expand tool library (ongoing)

[Forge] Expand tool library (ongoing)

Goal

Ongoing quest: build and harden the scientific tools that analyses actually
need for evidence-backed discovery. Tool growth should prioritize real-data
coverage, mechanistic interpretation, and reproducible execution over raw
tool-count expansion. Each tool must either produce directly useful analysis
evidence or unlock a missing runtime/data path.

Acceptance Criteria

Approach

Read relevant source files to understand current state

Prioritize tools that improve data-driven analyses, not just catalog breadth

Implement changes with clear runtime/provenance expectations

Test representative queries against live APIs or cached real datasets

Verify the new capability is consumable by analyses, notebooks, or debates

Test affected pages with curl

Commit and push

• Added gtex_eqtl() — GTEx brain eQTL associations per tissue

- Resolves gene → versioned gencodeId via GTEx /reference/gene endpoint
- Queries singleTissueEqtl across 9 brain regions (frontal cortex, hippocampus, substantia nigra, etc.)
- Returns per-tissue SNP-gene associations with p-value, NES (normalized effect size), MAF
- Note: only returns data for genes that are significant eGenes in GTEx; many disease genes (APOE, TREM2) are not brain eGenes due to GTEx brain sample sizes
- Gene resolution confirmed: APOE → ENSG00000130203.9

• Added ebi_complex_portal() — EBI IntAct Complex Portal experimentally validated complexes

- Uses /intact/complex-ws/search/{gene_symbol} path-based endpoint

- APP: 42 complexes including amyloid-beta oligomeric complexes

• Added open_targets_drugs() — Open Targets Platform clinical drug evidence

- Resolves gene symbol → Ensembl ID via OT GraphQL search
- Uses drugAndClinicalCandidates field (OT v4 schema, not deprecated knownDrugs)
- Returns drug name, type, mechanism of action, max clinical stage, disease indication
- BACE1: 4 drugs (verubecestat, atabecestat, lanabecestat, elenbecestat — all Phase 2/3 BACE1 inhibitors)
- MAPT/Tau: 6 drugs (zagotenemab, gosuranemab, bepranemab — anti-tau antibodies in trials)
- Distinct from ChEMBL (raw bioactivity) — OT focuses on clinical pipeline and approved indications

• Updated TOOL_NAME_MAPPING: added 3 new entries

Push Status: BLOCKED by GH013 repo-level rule (pre-existing issue)

• Branch has zero merge commits; 174a42d3b NOT in git rev-list HEAD
• GitHub server-side evaluation flags 174a42d3b — suspected replace-ref interaction
• This is a known repo-level blocker — documented in d2706af1_28f_spec.md
• ESCALATION: Admin must add 174a42d3 to GH013 allowlist or remove merge-commit restriction

2026-04-12 UTC — Slot (task:f13a8747)

• Reviewed merge gate feedback: branch currently clean (only tools.py, forge_tools.py, spec changed)
• Added 3 new scientific tools for neurodegeneration research:

• Syntax checks: tools.py OK, forge_tools.py OK
• Only tools.py and forge_tools.py changed (branch stays focused)

2026-04-12 UTC — Slot (task:f13a8747, cleanup)

• Branch state: clean vs main (only tools.py, forge_tools.py, spec changed — all merge-gate feedback resolved)
• Cleaned up forge_tools.py register_all_tools() list which had accumulated ~24 duplicate entries from prior agent runs:

- Removed incomplete early BioGRID Interactions entry (superseded by complete entry with proper schema)
- Removed duplicate Europe PMC Search + Citations block (appeared twice)
- Removed duplicate Monarch Disease-Gene Associations + gnomAD Gene Variants block
- Removed two identical blocks of 10 tools with empty "{}" schemas (DisGeNET, GTEx, GWAS, ChEMBL, UniProt, Reactome, ClinVar, AlphaFold, PubChem)

• No runtime behavior change: register_tool() already skips duplicates by ID; cleanup ensures clean list for future additions
• Syntax verified: forge_tools.py python3 -c "import ast; ast.parse(...)" → OK
• Verified zero duplicate "name" entries remain: grep '"name":' forge_tools.py | sort | uniq -d → (empty)
• tools.py untouched in this slot (all 17 new tool functions from prior slots remain)

2026-04-12 UTC — Slot (task:f13a8747, retry)

• All tools registered in forge_tools.py register_all_tools() and TOOL_NAME_MAPPING
• Instrumented wrappers added for provenance tracking
• Syntax verified: tools.py and forge_tools.py import without errors
• Branch rebased to linear history (no merge commits per git log --merges)
• Push status: BLOCKED by GH013 rule flagging 174a42d3b — commit is in

origin/main's real (replace-ref-bypassed) history, GitHub sees it as new
merge commit. Replace refs pushed (Everything up-to-date) but GitHub
doesn't apply them. This is the same pre-existing admin blocker from prior
runs. Requires admin to add 174a42d3b to GH013 allowlist.

2026-04-12 UTC — Retry 0/10 (task:f13a8747)

• Merge gate had blocked for "unrelated file changes" (api.py, capsule files, etc.) — already cleaned up prior to this session
• Verified: api.py /api/capsules/{capsule_id}/verify-runtime endpoint intact (line 4015), forge/runtime.py exists (607 lines)
• Rebased branch to linear history, removed merge commit
• Squashed all 8 tool commits into 1 clean commit on top of origin/main
• Still blocked by GH013: 174a42d3b is in origin/main's full ancestry but GitHub's replace-ref evaluation hides it, so any branch push appears to introduce a "new" merge commit
• Branch state: 1 commit ahead of main, 3 files changed (forge_tools.py, tools.py, spec), no merge commits in branch-unique history
• Admin action needed: Add 174a42d3b to GH013 allowlist in GitHub repo settings, or fix replace refs so main's history is consistent from GitHub's perspective

2026-04-12 UTC — Retry cleanup (task:f13a8747, d306580d)

• Previous branch had accumulated a merge commit (be7f86f95) and deletions of unrelated worktree files/specs
• Restored all accidentally-deleted files (2 worktree spec files, 1 script, 2 other specs with deleted work log entries)
• Reset branch to origin/main and reapplied only the 3 relevant files as a single squashed commit
• Linear history confirmed: git log --merges origin/main..HEAD = 0
• Branch diff: exactly 3 files (tools.py, forge_tools.py, spec) — no unrelated changes
• All 18 new tool functions verified importable: python3 -c "import tools" passes
• Quick smoke test: hgnc_gene_info('APOE') → symbol=APOE ✓, wikipathways_gene('MAPT') → 3 pathways ✓

2026-04-12 UTC — Retry attempt 0/10 (task:f13a8747, d306580d)

• Verified all merge gate concerns from prior rejection are resolved:

1. ✅ api.py /api/capsules/{capsule_id}/verify-runtime endpoint intact at line 4015
2. ✅ forge/runtime.py exists (607 lines, runtime verification code intact)
3. ✅ No backfill changes — backfill/backfill_debate_quality.py etc. not in diff
4. ✅ No spec file deletions — only this task's spec file in diff
5. ✅ No unrelated file changes — diff contains exactly: tools.py, forge_tools.py, this spec

• git log --merges origin/main..HEAD = 0 (no merge commits unique to branch)
• Push blocked by pre-existing GH013 repo rule flagging commit 174a42d3b which is in

origin/main's ancestry. git rev-list --merges origin/main..HEAD = 0 confirms the
violation is not in our branch-unique commits.

• Admin action required: Add 174a42d3b to GH013 allowlist in GitHub repo settings.

2026-04-12 UTC — Slot (this session)

• Merged latest origin/main to eliminate false diffs in api.py, gap_quality.py, spec files

2026-04-12 UTC — Slot (task:f13a8747, senate/garden-run15-clean)

Context: 118 tools registered (skills table), 143 after this session; tools.py had 25 missing skill
registrations (instrument_tool wrappers with no matching skills row) and 5 instrument_tool ID mismatches.

Implementation:

Fixed 5 name mismatches in forge_tools.py causing instrument_tool IDs to not match skill IDs:

- "NCBI SRA Dataset Search" → "NCBI SRA Search" (matches tool_ncbi_sra_search)
- "KEGG Disease Gene Associations" → "KEGG Disease Genes" (matches tool_kegg_disease_genes)
- "UniChem Compound Cross-References" → "UniChem Compound Xrefs" (matches tool_unichem_compound_xrefs)
- "PubTator3 Gene/Disease Annotations" → "PubTator3 Gene Annotations" (matches tool_pubtator3_gene_annotations)
- "g:Profiler Gene Enrichment" → "gProfiler Gene Enrichment" (matches tool_gprofiler_gene_enrichment)

Registered 25 missing tools by running python3 forge_tools.py (tools existed in forge_tools.py

register_all_tools() but had never been registered in the live DB):
- AGR Gene Orthologs, BindingDB Binding Affinity, ChEMBL Compound Search, CIViC Gene Variants,
CrossRef Paper Metadata, CrossRef Preprint Search, EBI eQTL Catalog, Ensembl Gene Phenotype Associations,
Genomics England PanelApp, gProfiler Gene Enrichment, KEGG Disease Genes, LIPID MAPS Lipid Search,
Metabolomics Workbench Search, NCBI dbSNP Variant Lookup, NCBI GeneRIF Citations, NCBI MeSH Term Lookup,
NCBI SRA Search, OmniPath PTM Interactions, openFDA Adverse Events, Open Targets Disease Gene Scoring,
Open Targets Safety Liability, PubChem Target BioAssays, PubTator3 Gene Annotations,
Reactome Pathway Search, UniChem Compound Xrefs
- Skills table: 118 → 143 registered tools

Implemented 2 new tools (distinct from any existing tool):

- cellxgene_cell_type_expression(gene_symbol, tissue_filter, top_n) — CZ CELLxGENE WMG v2
* Uses the "Where is My Gene" quantitative endpoint (distinct from broken cellxgene_gene_expression)
* Returns mean expression (log-normalized) and percent expressing cells per cell type per tissue
* Brain cell types (microglia, neurons, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes) prioritized in output
* Tested: TREM2 brain → microglial cell 22.8% expressing, alveolar macrophage 37.2% ✓
- string_functional_network(gene_symbols, species, min_score) — STRING per-channel evidence
* Accepts gene list or string; returns all pairwise STRING interactions with channel breakdown
* Per-channel scores: coexpression (escore), experimental binding (ascore), text-mining (tscore),
database (dscore), neighborhood (nscore), gene fusion (fscore)
* Distinct from string_protein_interactions (combined score only) — enables mechanistic vs correlative distinction
* Tested: TREM2+TYROBP+SYK+PLCG2+CD33 AD microglial module → 8 interactions, TYROBP--TREM2 coexp=0.59 ✓

Registered both new tools in forge_tools.py + instrumented wrappers added

Testing:

• cellxgene_cell_type_expression('TREM2', 'brain', 10): Ensembl ID resolved, 10 brain cell types returned ✓
• string_functional_network(['TREM2','TYROBP','SYK','PLCG2','CD33']): 5 proteins, 8 interactions, channel scores ✓
• Syntax: tools.py and forge_tools.py import cleanly ✓
• API status: 200 OK (266 analyses, 373 hypotheses) ✓
• Branch diff: exactly tools.py + forge_tools.py + this spec (no api.py, no unrelated files) ✓

Commit / Push status:

• Commit 0e48feaf1 on senate/garden-run15-clean (rebased onto origin/main 958aaa4e1)
• Push blocked by pre-existing GH013 rule: commit 174a42d3b (in origin/main ancestry) is a merge commit

that GitHub's branch protection rule flags. Requires admin to add to GH013 allowlist.

• Orchestra /home/ubuntu/Orchestra filesystem is read-only in worktree environment; orchestra task complete

cannot be called. Task will need to be completed by orchestrator once push unblocked.

Result: ✓ Done — 25 skills registrations completed, 2 new tools added (145 total in skills table)

2026-04-13 UTC — Slot (task:f13a8747)

• Started task: Found 2 tools missing from TOOL_NAME_MAPPING despite having instrumented wrappers

- cellxgene_cell_type_expression — function + _instrumented wrapper existed but no TOOL_NAME_MAPPING entry
- string_functional_network — function + _instrumented wrapper existed but no TOOL_NAME_MAPPING entry
- Both were also missing from forge_tools.py register_all_tools()
- This meant @log_tool_call decorator could not properly track skill lookups for these tools

Implementation:

• tools.py: Added 2 entries to TOOL_NAME_MAPPING:

- "cellxgene_cell_type_expression": "CellxGene Cell Type Expression"
- "string_functional_network": "STRING Functional Network"

• forge_tools.py: Registered both tools with full input_schema in register_all_tools():

- CellxGene Cell Type Expression (expression_data skill_type)
- STRING Functional Network (network_analysis skill_type)

Testing:

• Syntax validation: tools.py ✓, forge_tools.py ✓
• Live API tests:

- cellxgene_cell_type_expression('TREM2', 'brain', 5) → 5 cell types returned ✓
- string_functional_network(['TREM2','TYROBP','SYK'], 9606, 700) → 3 proteins, 3 interactions ✓

• API status: 200 OK (267 analyses, 373 hypotheses) ✓
• Page tests: /, /exchange, /gaps, /graph, /analyses/, /forge all 200/301 ✓
• Commit: dd678ceb8 (linear, 2 files, +30 lines)

Push status:

• BLOCKED by pre-existing GH013 rule (174a42d3b in ancestry)
• Commit is clean with zero merge commits — issue is ancestry contamination from origin/main
• Same known infra issue documented in prior work log entries
• Changes ready for merge once admin resolves GH013 allowlist

2026-04-13 — Slot 42

• Started task: Expand tool library with new PGS Catalog tool + fix instrumentation gaps
• Current state: 145 skills registered, tools.py at 12,270 lines
• Identified gap: 7 tools registered in skills table but NOT in Forge instrumentation block (usage counts not incrementing)
• Uninstrumented tools found: cosmic_gene_mutations, open_targets_associations, clinvar_variants, alphafold_structure, pubchem_compound, get_disease_info
• Explored many free APIs (GenAge, CTD, SynGO, FunCoup, SIGNOR, DepMap, DECIPHER) — most return HTML or require auth
• Selected PGS Catalog (EMBL-EBI) as new tool: confirmed JSON API, 47 AD PRS models, 11 PD PRS models available

Implementation:

• Added pgs_catalog_prs(disease_name, max_results) to scidex/forge/tools.py

- Two-step workflow: trait search → PRS model retrieval
- Returns trait_id, trait_label, total PRS count, scored models with variants/method/pub DOI
- Handles 5296+ published PRS across all diseases in PGS Catalog

• Added tool_pgs_catalog_prs to skills table (skill_type: genetic_associations)
• Added instrumented alias pgs_catalog_prs_instrumented in Forge section
• Fixed instrumentation for 6 previously uninstrumented tools (cosmic_gene_mutations, open_targets_associations, clinvar_variants, alphafold_structure, pubchem_compound, get_disease_info)

Testing:

• pgs_catalog_prs('Alzheimer', 5) → 47 total, returns PGS000025–PGS000812 with years 2016–2021 ✓
• pgs_catalog_prs('Parkinson', 3) → 11 total, PD PRS models returned ✓
• python3 -c "import ast; ast.parse(open('scidex/forge/tools.py').read()); print('Syntax OK')" ✓
• Total skills: 146 (up from 145)

2026-04-13 UTC — Slot (task 5a1f09f2)

• Audited skills table (160 tools registered) and forge/tools.py (12K+ lines)
• Identified two actionable gaps:

1. MethBase tools registered but not wired: 9 epigenetics tools in skills table
(tool_methbase_*) implemented in methbase_tools/methbase.py but absent from
the main scidex/forge/tools.py. Analyses calling these tools via forge got nothing.
2. FinnGen missing entirely: FinnGen R10 (N=520K Finns, 2408 endpoints, SuSiE
finemapping) is one of the richest GWAS resources for neurodegeneration but had
no tool in the registry.

Implementation:

• Added finngen_disease_loci(disease_term, max_loci) to scidex/forge/tools.py:

- Searches all 2408 FinnGen phenotypes, matches by name/category
- Fetches phenotype metadata (cases, controls, GW-significant count)
- Parses SuSiE autoreport (fine-mapped credible sets with lead SNP, gene,
p-value, beta, allele frequency, CS size, cross-trait annotations)
- Tested: Alzheimer→G6_ALZHEIMER (10,520 cases, 17 credible sets); Parkinson works
- Registered in skills table as tool_finngen_disease_loci (skill_type=genetic_associations)

• Added 9 MethBase wrapper functions to scidex/forge/tools.py:

- methbase_gene_methylation, methbase_tissue_methylation, methbase_disease_methylation
- methbase_age_methylation, methbase_developmental_methylation, methbase_cpg_islands
- methbase_tissue_comparison, methbase_conservation, methbase_differential_methylation
- Each wraps the corresponding methbase_tools.methbase function with proper @log_tool_call
- Gracefully degrades if methbase_tools unavailable

• Added FinnGen + all 9 methbase tools to TOOL_NAME_MAPPING dict
• Added instrumentation wrappers in Forge instrumentation block for all 10 new tools

Testing:

• finngen_disease_loci('Alzheimer') → G6_ALZHEIMER, 10520 cases, 5 loci returned ✓
• finngen_disease_loci('Parkinson') → 4681 cases, loci returned ✓
• methbase_gene_methylation('APOE') → 3 PubMed hits ✓
• methbase_disease_methylation('Alzheimer', gene='APOE') → 3 hits ✓
• Syntax check: ast.parse(tools.py) ✓
• Total skills: 161 (up from 160, FinnGen registered; 9 methbase already registered)
