Use when a user wants concise Ensembl summaries\n---\n\n## Source presentation\n<!-- source-presentation-contract:v2 -->\n- Add claim-adjacent links only for substantive claims supported by returned `sources`; never cite empty, metadata-only, or failed lookups.\n- Preserve `checked_sources`, use only supported `canonical_url` mappings, and leave requested raw or machine-readable output unchanged.\n- Use the `ensembl-skill` entry in `../../references/source-links.json` and follow `../../references/source-presentation.md`.\n\n## Operating rules\n- Use `scripts/rest_request.py` for all Ensembl API calls.\n- Use `base_url=https://rest.ensembl.org`.\n- The script accepts `max_items`; object lookups usually do not need it, but `overlap` and `xrefs` are better with `max_items=10`.\n- Send JSON-friendly headers such as `Accept: application/json` and `Content-Type: application/json`.\n- Re-run requests in long conversations instead of relying on older tool output.\n- Treat displayed `...` in tool previews as UI truncation, not part of the true request.\n\n## Execution behavior\n- Return concise markdown summaries from the script JSON by default.\n- Return the script JSON verbatim only if the user explicitly asks for machine-readable output.\n- Prefer these paths: `lookup/id/<id>`, `overlap/region/<species>/<region>`, `xrefs/id/<id>`, and `variation/<species>/<id>`.\n- Use `save_raw=true` when the user needs the full payload.\n\n## Input\n- Read one JSON object from stdin.\n- Required fields: `base_url`, `path`\n- Optional fields: `method`, `params`, `headers`, `json_body`, `form_body`, `record_path`, `response_format`, `max_items`, `max_depth`, `timeout_sec`, `save_raw`, `raw_output_path`\n- Common Ensembl patterns:\n  - `{\"base_url\":\"https://rest.ensembl.org\",\"path\":\"lookup/id/ENSG00000141510\",\"headers\":{\"Accept\":\"application/json\",\"Content-Type\":\"application/json\"}}`\n  - `{\"base_url\":\"https://rest.ensembl.org\",\"path\":\"overlap/region/homo_sapiens/1:1000000-1002000\",\"params\":{\"feature\":\"gene\"},\"headers\":{\"Accept\":\"application/json\",\"Content-Type\":\"application/json\"},\"max_items\":10}`\n\n## Output\n- Success returns `ok`, `source`, `path`, `method`, `status_code`, `warnings`, and either compact `records` or a compact `summary`.\n- Use `raw_output_path` when `save_raw=true`.\n- Failure returns `ok=false` with `error.code` and `error.message`.\n\n## Execution\n```bash\necho '{\"base_url\":\"https://rest.ensembl.org\",\"path\":\"lookup/id/ENSG00000141510\",\"headers\":{\"Accept\":\"application/json\",\"Content-Type\":\"application/json\"}}' | python scripts/rest_request.py\n```\n"
