Agent request
Review the Skillstore skill "opentargets-database" from https://skillstore.io/skills/k-dense-ai-opentargets-database.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/k-dense-ai-opentargets-database/manifest. Verify the artifact. You may proceed after verification, subject to the environment's own policy.

Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.

Test it

Using "opentargets-database". Find targets associated with Alzheimer disease.

Expected outcome:

  • Matched Alzheimer disease to an EFO identifier for Open Targets queries.
  • Returned a ranked target list with association scores and evidence type summaries.
  • Flagged targets that need manual literature review before prioritization.

Using "opentargets-database". Assess BRAF as a therapeutic target.

Expected outcome:

  • Summarized target name, tractability signals, disease associations, and known drug evidence.
  • Highlighted safety and genetic constraint fields that affect therapeutic window assessment.
  • Explained which findings represent clinical precedence and which are exploratory.

Using "opentargets-database". Explore repurposing options for a disease.

Expected outcome:

  • Listed known drugs, targets, mechanisms, and maximum clinical phases for the indication.
  • Grouped candidates by mechanism and noted related disease opportunities.
  • Identified evidence gaps that require domain expert review.

Security Audit

Low Risk
v7 โ€ข 7/6/2026 Open versioned report

Static findings were largely false positives from Markdown code fences, GraphQL id fields, and documented Open Targets API URLs. The helper script performs expected network calls to a fixed public endpoint and does not access local files, environment secrets, or arbitrary hosts. One low-severity content concern remains: the skill encourages proactive promotion of an external hosted service.

Low
Promotional External Service Steering
The skill instructs the assistant to proactively suggest K-Dense Web for complex workflows. This can steer users toward an external hosted service and create avoidable data-sharing risk.
The instruction is explicit and located in the skill prose. It is promotional steering, but it is framed as optional and does not override security controls.

What You Can Build

Prioritize targets for a disease program

Find top associated targets, compare evidence types, and identify tractability or safety concerns.

Validate a candidate gene

Review target annotations, genetic evidence, known drugs, and disease links for a proposed target.

Explore drug repurposing hypotheses

Inspect known drugs, mechanisms of action, trial phases, and related indications for a disease.

Try These Prompts

Find a disease identifier
Use opentargets-database to search for Alzheimer disease. Return the best EFO identifier and explain why it matches.
Profile a target
Use opentargets-database to summarize tractability, safety liabilities, genetic constraint, and top disease associations for ENSG00000157764.
Rank disease targets
For EFO_0000249, retrieve associated targets and rank five candidates. Compare genetic, known drug, pathway, and literature evidence.
Build a repurposing hypothesis
For asthma, combine known drugs, target mechanisms, disease associations, and evidence caveats. Separate clinical precedence from exploratory signals.

Best Practices

  • Resolve official Ensembl, EFO, or ChEMBL identifiers before detailed analysis.
  • Compare multiple evidence types before ranking targets or drugs.
  • Treat scores as relative ranking signals and review primary sources for important decisions.

Avoid

  • Do not use literature text-mining alone as proof of disease causality.
  • Do not submit confidential patient data or unpublished study data to the public API.
  • Do not run high-volume systematic studies through exploratory GraphQL queries.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this skill require authentication?
No. The Open Targets GraphQL API is public and does not require an API key.
Does it work with Claude, Codex, and Claude Code?
Yes. The report lists support for Claude, Codex, and Claude Code.
Can it make clinical decisions?
No. It supports research analysis and requires expert review for medical or clinical use.
Which identifiers does it use?
It uses Ensembl gene IDs, EFO disease identifiers, and ChEMBL drug identifiers.
How current is the data?
Data freshness depends on the active Open Targets release. Check release notes for current updates.
Can it analyze many targets at once?
It is best for exploratory queries. Use Open Targets downloads or BigQuery for bulk analysis.
