Retrieves a stable URL to an interactive STRING network for one or more proteins. - For a single protein: includes the protein and its top 10 most likely interactors. - For multiple proteins: includes all known interactions **within the query set**. - If the user asks for "physical interactions", "complexes", or "binding", set `network_type` to "physical". The input may include one numeric value per protein, such as fold change, effect size, or score. These values are visualized as colored halos around the nodes, allowing overlay of protein-level measurements on the network. Example: PTEN 2.1 SMO -1.3 If numeric values are provided: - positive values are shown in blue - negative values are shown in red - larger absolute values produce stronger halo intensity If the user provides numeric values together with the proteins, preserve them in the query. If few or no interactions are shown, consider lowering `required_score`. For large queries (>100 proteins): - use `network_flavor="confidence"` - increase `required_score` (e.g. 700) Always display the link as a markdown hyperlink (hide the raw URL). Input parameters should match those used in related STRING tools unless otherwise specified.
