Use when a user wants concise public eQTL Catalogue 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 `eqtl-catalogue-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 eQTL Catalogue calls.\n- Use the current `base_url=https://www.ebi.ac.uk/eqtl/api/v3`; avoid deprecated, unversioned v1 routes.\n- Prefer targeted association endpoints over broad list endpoints.\n- Prefer documented v3 dataset-scoped association requests with explicit `rsid` and a small upstream `size`.\n- Legacy compatibility defaults apply only to deprecated unversioned routes; they are unnecessary for the current v3 API.\n- Re-run requests in long conversations instead of relying on older tool output.\n\n## Execution behavior\n- Return concise markdown summaries from the script JSON by default.\n- Return raw JSON only if the user explicitly asks for machine-readable output.\n- Prefer documented v3 association paths such as `datasets/QTD000021/associations` or `associations` with an explicit `rsid`; do not send unresolved placeholder identifiers or deprecated routes. For upstream `400`/`500` responses, report only the HTTP status and query-free endpoint path; never reproduce an upstream error body that may echo private query data.\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 eQTL Catalogue patterns:\n - `{\"base_url\":\"https://www.ebi.ac.uk/eqtl/api/v3\",\"path\":\"datasets/QTD000021/associations\",\"params\":{\"rsid\":\"rs4239702\",\"size\":1},\"max_items\":5}`\n - `{\"base_url\":\"https://www.ebi.ac.uk/eqtl/api/v3\",\"path\":\"associations\",\"params\":{\"rsid\":\"rs7412\",\"size\":1},\"max_items\":5}`\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://www.ebi.ac.uk/eqtl/api/v3\",\"path\":\"datasets/QTD000021/associations\",\"params\":{\"rsid\":\"rs4239702\",\"size\":1},\"max_items\":5}' | python scripts/rest_request.py\n```\n"
