Allowed Values of an EBI Sequence-Analysis Tool Parameter

jdispatcher/parameter-details

The definition of one parameter of an EMBL-EBI Job Dispatcher tool: its name, description, type and allowed values with defaults (for example ncbiblast `program` lists blastp, blastx, blastn and the other BLAST programs; clustalo `outfmt` lists the alignment formats). Read-only metadata: no job is submitted. Lists the FIRST 100 values in the service's order with `valueCount` and `truncated`; a parameter with hundreds of values (ncbiblast `database` has 549) shows only its first 100. Metadata from the EBI Job Dispatcher REST service (EMBL-EBI), served by Eden Engine; not an official EMBL-EBI product.

// 1. search: find the tool
omnial_search({ query: "what you need" })

// 2. inspect: price and input schema
omnial_inspect({ tool: "jdispatcher/parameter-details" })

// 3. learn: read the usage guide at runtime
omnial_learn({ tool: "jdispatcher/parameter-details" })

// 4. run: price the exact call first, then run it
omnial_execute({ tool: "jdispatcher/parameter-details", input: { /* see input_schema */ }, dry_run: true })
omnial_execute({ tool: "jdispatcher/parameter-details", input: { /* ... */ } })

// 5. settle: the call is charged when it finishes, nothing to do
