ToolUniverse
A curated tool registry and MCP server (arXiv:2509.23426) that packages biomedical, chemical, and general scientific APIs into a uniform agent-callable surface. Distributed as an MCP server, a Python SDK, and an agent-skills bundle; sits in the *infrastructure for RISE pipelines* layer, not as a pipeline itself.

What it does
Reframes the AI-scientist problem as an *interface* problem: scientific tools need to be discoverable, callable, and validable by agents through a uniform protocol. Backed by a Harvard lab and distributed via the MCP registry, making it a natural building block for downstream RISE systems.

Solid tags are declared by the source or mapped from its terms; dashed tags are inferred by a published rule. Hover a tag for its provenance.
Bring it into the standard
A pipeline built outside E2ER can meet the standard by describing its steps as a template, attaching the floor of checks and publishing evaluation records. Its authors keep ownership and credit.
