What problem does it solve?

Query and retrieve structured laboratory records, protocols, inventory, and experiment metadata from a Labstep electronic lab notebook without manual API exploration or web UI navigation, enabling reproducible data access for analysis and reporting.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Experiment Discovery: Search, list, and fetch detailed experiment entries including tables, data fields, files, comments, and collaborators.
• Protocol and Inventory Lookup: Retrieve protocol versions, steps, inventory fields, resources, resource items, locations, and chemical metadata.
• Workspace and File Access: Switch workspaces, list devices and tags, and export or download attached files for downstream analysis.
• Read-Only Safety: Operates with a read-only service account by default and requires explicit confirmation to perform any writes, making it safe for audit and review workflows.
• Use Case: Find the protocol steps and attached files for the latest experiment on PCR troubleshooting and cross-reference reagent lot metadata in inventory.

Quick Start

Ask the Labstep skill to show your recent experiments in the active workspace and list their IDs and attached file names.
