Retrieve DNA/RNA/protein sequences from NCBI and ENA with disambiguation. Quality hierarchy: RefSeq (NM_/NP_) > RefSeq predicted (XM_/XP_) > GenBank submissions. Use for fetching specific sequences by accession, gene-symbol-to-sequence lookup, transcript-isoform retrieval, and curated-vs-raw-submission preference.

Low-risk findings.
1 low severity finding. Worth noting, but not necessarily harmful.
The skill exposes the agent to untrusted, user-generated content from public third-party sources, creating a risk of indirect prompt injection. This includes browsing arbitrary URLs, reading social media posts or forum comments, and analyzing content from unknown websites.
The skill’s Phase 2 “Data Retrieval” uses user-provided search parameters (organism/gene/strain/keywords/seq_type) to call `NCBI_search_nucleotide` and then `NCBI_get_sequence`/ENA `ena_get_entry`, so outsider-authored free text (e.g., keyword strings) is ingested to perform retrieval and could be reflected in the returned “Sequence Preview”/annotations and cross-references.
