Variant interpretations are computational predictions and should not be used as the sole basis for clinical decisions. Always consult certified genetic counselors and clinical laboratories for diagnostic purposes. ACMG classifications in this tool are algorithmic estimates and may differ from expert panel reviews. ## Risk Assessment | Risk Indicator | Assessment | Level | |----------------|------------|-------| | Code Execution | Python scripts with tools | High | | Network Access | External API calls | High | | File System Access | Read/write data | Medium | | Instruction Tampering | Standard prompt guidelines | Low | | Data Exposure | Data handled securely | Medium | ## Security Checklist - [ ] No hardcoded credentials or API keys - [ ] No unauthorized file system access (../) - [ ] Output does not expose sensitive information - [ ] Prompt injection protections in place - [ ] API requests use HTTPS only - [ ] Input validated against allowed patterns - [ ] API timeout and retry mechanisms implemented - [ ] Output directory restricted to workspace - [ ] Script execution in sandboxed environment - [ ] Error messages sanitized (no internal paths exposed) - [ ] Dependencies audited - [ ] No exposure of internal service architecture ## Prerequisites ```bash # Python dependencies pip install -r requirements.txt ``` ## Evaluation Criteria ### Success Metrics - [ ] Successfully executes main functionality - [ ] Output meets quality standards - [ ] Handles edge cases gracefully - [ ] Performance is acceptable ### Test Cases 1. **Basic Functionality**: Standard input → Expected output 2. **Edge Case**: Invalid input → Graceful error handling 3. **Performance**: Large dataset → Acceptable processing time ## Lifecycle Status - **Current Stage**: Draft - **Next Review Date**: 2026-03-06 - **Known Issues**: None - **Planned Improvements**: - Performance optimization - Additional feature support ## Parameters | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | |-----------|------|---------|-------------| | `--variant` | str | Required | | | `--file` | str | Required | | | `--output` | str | Required | | | `--format` | str | "json" | | | `--api-key` | str | Required | NCBI API key for increased rate limits | | `--delay` | float | 0.34 | |
