Primary retained Python toolkit for molecular biology sequence work. Preferred for sequence manipulation, FASTA/FASTQ/GenBank parsing, Bio.Entrez, BLAST workflows, alignments, structures, and phylogenetics. For biological database evidence lookup, use bio-database-evidence. For single-cell workflows use scanpy. For direct literature REST API, use pubmed-database.

1 high severity finding. You should review these findings carefully before considering using this skill.
The skill handles credentials insecurely by requiring the agent to include secret values verbatim in its generated output. This exposes credentials in the agent’s context and conversation history, creating a risk of data exfiltration.
The skill includes code examples that directly assign Entrez.email and Entrez.api_key string literals (e.g., Entrez.api_key = "your_api_key_here"), which encourages embedding user API keys/credentials verbatim into generated code or commands, creating a high exfiltration risk.
