Use when a user wants concise GWAS Catalog 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 `gwas-catalog-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 GWAS Catalog API calls.\n- Use `base_url=https://www.ebi.ac.uk/gwas/rest/api/v2`.\n- The script accepts `max_items`; for collection endpoints, start with API `size=10` and `max_items=10`.\n- Single-resource endpoints such as `studies/<accession>` generally do not need `max_items`.\n- Use `record_path` to target `_embedded.<resource>` lists.\n- Re-run requests in long conversations instead of relying on older tool output.\n- Treat displayed `...` in tool previews as UI truncation, not literal request content.\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: `metadata`, `studies`, `studies/<accession>`, `associations`, `snps`, `efoTraits`, `genes`, `publications`, and `loci`.\n- Use `save_raw=true` if the user needs the full HATEOAS payload or pagination links.\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 GWAS Catalog patterns:\n - `{\"base_url\":\"https://www.ebi.ac.uk/gwas/rest/api/v2\",\"path\":\"metadata\"}`\n - `{\"base_url\":\"https://www.ebi.ac.uk/gwas/rest/api/v2\",\"path\":\"studies\",\"params\":{\"efo_trait\":\"asthma\",\"size\":10},\"record_path\":\"_embedded.studies\",\"max_items\":10}`\n - `{\"base_url\":\"https://www.ebi.ac.uk/gwas/rest/api/v2\",\"path\":\"associations\",\"params\":{\"mapped_gene\":\"BRCA1\",\"size\":10},\"record_path\":\"_embedded.associations\",\"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://www.ebi.ac.uk/gwas/rest/api/v2\",\"path\":\"studies\",\"params\":{\"efo_trait\":\"asthma\",\"size\":10},\"record_path\":\"_embedded.studies\",\"max_items\":10}' | python scripts/rest_request.py\n```\n"
