database-lookup

separate

Queries documented public database APIs with explicit endpoints, filters, pagination, and provenance. Used when a scientific, regulatory, financial, or other database-backed fact must be retrieved reproducibly from a named source rather than inferred from general knowledge.

When to use

• retrieving scientific facts from named sources
• regulatory database lookups
• financial database queries
• biomedical retrievals
• identifier resolution
• exhaustive dataset retrieval
• targeted lookups
• cross-checking database coverage

When not to use

• inferring facts from general knowledge
• broad searching without explicit identifiers
• plausible summaries without provenance
• unbounded raw data dumps
