Access the ENCODE Project REST API to search for and retrieve biological data (biosamples, experiments, etc.). Use this skill when the user needs to query ENCODE data, search by keywords, or retrieve specific objects by accession ID.

When to use

• Use this skill when the request matches its documented task boundary.
• Use it when the user can provide the required inputs and expects a structured deliverable.
• Prefer this skill for repeatable, checklist-driven execution rather than open-ended brainstorming.

When not to use

• Do not use this skill when the required source data, identifiers, files, or credentials are missing.
• Do not use this skill when the user asks for fabricated results, unsupported claims, or out-of-scope conclusions.
• Do not use this skill when a simpler direct answer is more appropriate than the documented workflow.
