Medical Research

Clinical reference and global health intelligence for AI agents — PubMed literature search, WHO health indicators, country comparisons, and medical statistics. Free, no API keys required.

What this skill teaches

A reusable playbook for a specific kind of work.

An MCP server tells an agent which actions are available. A skill adds the judgment around those actions: how to recognize the job, which sequence to follow, what to avoid, and how to decide that the result is complete.

Orchestrate clinical research — search PubMed literature, access WHO global health data, compare country health indicators, and retrieve medical statistics. Use when searching medical literature, finding clinical studies, checking WHO health data, comparing country health metrics, or researching disease statistics.

Architecture

How Medical Research guides an ADK-Rust agent.

The skill stays readable and portable because it contains instructions rather than service credentials or business data. ADK-Rust supplies it to the agent, the agent chooses from its reviewed tool boundary, and the connected MCP server performs the authenticated operation.

01

User request

The agent receives a goal expressed in ordinary language.

02

Medical Research skill

Matches intent, supplies the decision guide, and narrows the tool boundary.

03

ADK-Rust agent

Plans the workflow and streams each meaningful step through the runtime.

04

mcp-medical

Executes authenticated operations against the system that owns the capability.

05

Verified result

The skill's completion rules shape the evidence returned to the user.

Portable instructions: SKILL.md · Capability boundary: mcp-medical · Allowed tools: 7

Decision guide

How the agent turns a request into the right action.

These routes come directly from the skill instructions. They help the model recognize intent and select a focused tool or workflow instead of improvising across the entire capability surface.

01

"study", "research", "paper", "evidence"?

pubmed_search / pubmed_get_abstract

02

"WHO", "global health", "indicator", "country"?

who_get_indicator / who_country_profile

03

"compare", "countries", "statistics"?

who_compare_countries

04

"what indicators", "available data"?

who_search_indicators / who_list_common_indicators

Proven workflows

Repeatable sequences for useful outcomes.

A workflow joins several tool calls into a task the user actually recognizes. The skill explains the sequence and the intended result while ADK-Rust streams the agent's progress through the shared runtime.

012 calls

Literature Search

Find studies + get abstracts with citations

021-2 calls

Global Health Data

WHO indicators by country

031 calls

Country Comparison

Side-by-side health metrics

Tool boundary

The skill may use 7 documented tools.

This allowlist is declared by the skill. It keeps the agent focused on the actions needed for this job while mcp-medical retains responsibility for authentication, validation, and the connected system.

pubmed_search
pubmed_get_abstract
who_get_indicator
who_country_profile
who_compare_countries
who_search_indicators
who_list_common_indicators

Working rules

What the agent should do.

  • Follow the decision guide, use the declared tool boundary, and verify the result before responding.

Operating boundaries

What the agent should avoid.

  • Review the complete SKILL.md before enabling this skill for production work.

Install and connect

Add the skill beside the capability it expects.

Install the repository where your ADK-Rust skill loader can discover it, connect mcp-medical, and confirm the declared tools are available before asking the agent to use the workflow.

Install the skill
