Help the user add the login (API key) that a ToolUniverse tool needs for a database such as NCBI/PubMed, OMIM, DisGeNET, UMLS or OpenAlex, without the key ever passing through the chat. Explains which login unlocks what, where to get it, where to paste it, and retries the tool. Use when a tool says a login, API key or token is missing or rejected, or the user asks "which logins do I need", "add my OMIM key", or "why does this database need a key".

# Add a database login for ToolUniverse

Most ToolUniverse tools need no login. A few databases require the user's own free or licensed account. The person you are helping is usually a scientist, not a programmer: explain in plain words, one step at a time.

**Never ask the user to paste a key, token or password into the chat, and never put one in a file, command or message yourself.** Keys are typed only into the ToolUniverse website (hosted use) or the user's own local settings (local use).

## 1. Find out which login is needed

- If a tool failed, its error names the missing or rejected setting (for example `OMIM_API_KEY`). Use that exact name.
- If the user asks in general, ask what they want to do, and suggest only the logins that unlock it. Do not push them to collect every key.

Common ones:

| Login | Unlocks | Where to get it | Cost / wait |
