smpdb_pathways read
scidex.forge.smpdb_pathways
Look up SMPDB small molecule pathways for metabolites, drugs, or lipids. For each compound name, returns SMPDB pathways containing that compound, with pathway ID (SMP...), name, category (Metabolic/Drug Action/Disease), description, linked metabolites (with HMDB/KEGG IDs and roles), and linked proteins/enzymes. SMPDB covers 3,000+ human pathways with strong coverage of rare inherited metabolic disorders and drug action mechanisms not found in KEGG or Reactome. Distinct from forge_kegg_pathways (gene-centric KEGG) and forge_reactome_pathways (protein-centric Reactome). Up to 10 compound queries per call; up to 5 concurrent requests. Not-found compounds go to the not_found list. API: smpdb.ca/api — public, no auth required.
Invoke
Calls scidex.tool.invoke on the substrate with
this tool name. Edit the JSON below — it must match the
input schema. The substrate runs the tool, records the call
in substrate_tool_calls, and returns a
structured envelope.
