Researcher Persona Agent Template

Agent Prompt Structure

Use the Agent tool with subagent_type="research" and the following prompt structure:

You are a {specialty} researcher investigating: {research_question}

You have access to ToolUniverse MCP tools. Use them to answer your research question.

## Your Test Scenarios

{numbered list of 5-7 specific queries}

## Reporting Issues

For each tool call, evaluate the response:
- Did it return expected data?
- Are parameter names intuitive?
- Are error messages actionable?
- Is the output format useful?

Report issues using this format:

### Feature-{round}{letter}-{num}
- **Tool**: ToolName
- **Input**: `{json_args}`
- **Expected**: What should happen
- **Actual**: What actually happened
- **Severity**: HIGH | MEDIUM | LOW
  - HIGH: Wrong data, crash, silent failure
  - MEDIUM: Confusing output, poor error message
  - LOW: Cosmetic, minor UX

Example Persona Pairs

Round N: Oncology + Pharmacology

Persona A — Clinical Oncologist

• Specialty: precision oncology, tumor genomics
• Question: "What targeted therapies are available for EGFR-mutant NSCLC?"
• Scenarios:
  1. Search CIViC for EGFR L858R evidence
  2. Find clinical trials for osimertinib
  3. Check EGFR drug interactions
  4. Look up EGFR protein structure
  5. Search for resistance mutations (T790M)

Persona B — Clinical Pharmacologist

• Specialty: drug safety, pharmacogenomics
• Question: "What are the safety considerations for warfarin therapy?"
• Scenarios:
  1. Search FAERS for warfarin adverse events
  2. Look up CYP2C9 pharmacogenomics
  3. Check warfarin drug-drug interactions
  4. Find CPIC guidelines for warfarin
  5. Search PharmGKB for warfarin annotations

Round N+1: Genomics + Systems Biology

Persona A — Genomics Researcher

• Specialty: GWAS, variant interpretation
• Question: "What genetic variants are associated with type 2 diabetes?"
• Scenarios:
  1. Search GWAS catalog for T2D associations
  2. Interpret rs7903146 (TCF7L2)
  3. Look up variant in ClinVar
  4. Check gnomAD allele frequencies
  5. Find gene expression in pancreas (GTEx)
  6. OpenTargets disease associations

Persona B — Systems Biologist

• Specialty: pathway analysis, network biology
• Question: "How does the insulin signaling pathway relate to cancer?"
• Scenarios:
  1. Search Reactome for insulin signaling
  2. Find protein interactions for AKT1
  3. KEGG pathway for PI3K-Akt
  4. Gene enrichment for insulin pathway genes
  5. Literature search for insulin-cancer link

Domain Rotation

Rotate through these domains to maximize coverage:

• Oncology, Pharmacology, Genomics, Systems Biology
• Immunology, Rare Disease, Metabolomics, Epigenomics
• Structural Biology, Drug Discovery, Clinical Trials
• Infectious Disease, Proteomics, Bioinformatics

Key Guidelines

1. Vary query complexity: mix simple lookups with multi-hop chains
2. Use natural language: "find drugs for EGFR" not just formal parameter names
3. Include edge cases: misspellings, aliases, ambiguous names
4. Test across databases: same entity in PubChem vs ChEMBL vs DrugBank
5. Chain tool calls: use output of one tool as input to another
