Each entry carries function, catalytic activity, cofactors, subcellular location, disease involvement, PTMs, natural variants, isoforms, domains, GO terms, keywords, and cross-references. Partial failures do not abort the batch — resolved entries land in succeeded[] and unknown/withdrawn accessions in failed[]. Pass fields to trim the upstream projection. A single oversized record returns kind: "outline" (a section listing with byte sizes) instead of overflowing context — re-call the same accession with sections:[...] (e.g. ["disease","variants"]) to pull only those. This tool does not search: accessions come from uniprot_search_proteins.results[].accession or uniprot_map_ids. Strip any isoform suffix (P04637-2 to P04637) before calling.
uniprot_get_proteome

sizeupidquerycursortaxon_idinclude_proteins
Fetch the reference proteome for an organism by UPID (e.g. "UP000005640") or NCBI taxon ID (e.g. 9606) — provide exactly one. Returns metadata inline: proteome type, total protein… Fetch the reference proteome for an organism by UPID (e.g. "UP000005640") or NCBI taxon ID (e.g. 9606) — provide exactly one. Returns metadata inline: proteome type, total protein count, BUSCO completeness (score, complete/fragmented/missing counts, lineage dataset), and the genome assembly accession. The protein set is opt-in via include_proteins (it is large — human is ~147,506) and returns a capped page with a forward cursor; narrow it with the query filter (UniProtKB Lucene syntax) for a subset. Resolve an organism name to a taxon ID first with uniprot_get_taxonomy.

Set include_isoforms to also return the alternatively-spliced isoform sequences. This is the cheap sequence-only path — for the full functional record use uniprot_get_entry. Accessions come from uniprot_search_proteins or uniprot_map_ids; strip any "-N" isoform suffix (P04637-2 to P04637) before calling.
uniprot_get_taxonomy
read-only
nametaxon_idinclude_children
Resolve a taxonomy record by NCBI taxon ID (e.g. 9606) or scientific name (e.g. "Homo sapiens") — provide exactly one. Returns the scientific and common name, mnemonic, rank, paren… Resolve a taxonomy record by NCBI taxon ID (e.g. 9606) or scientific name (e.g. "Homo sapiens") — provide exactly one. Returns the scientific and common name, mnemonic, rank, parent, and the full lineage. Set include_children to also fetch immediate child taxa (a separate lookup — not inline on the record). Use this to turn an organism name into the taxon ID that uniprot_search_proteins (organism_id) and uniprot_get_proteome (taxon_id) expect.

The job runs asynchronously; this tool submits it and polls within a budget. A running job returns status "running" with a ticket; pass that ticket alone to poll the same job. A completed call returns status "finished" with one results page; when continuation is present, pass it alone to fetch the next completed page without re-submitting or polling the job. A gene name often maps to one reviewed Swiss-Prot accession plus dozens of unreviewed TrEMBL ones, so target UniProtKB-Swiss-Prot (reviewed only) for the usual intent, or UniProtKB / UniProtKB_AC-ID to include TrEMBL. Pair a gene-symbol from_db with tax_id to disambiguate species. Chain the resulting accessions into uniprot_get_entry.
