MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS
High Risk

The most dangerous origin-MCP tools

Execute · Medium tool_fit_linear Linear regression is a computational operation that runs a statistical fitting algorithm and may write results (fit curves, bands) back into the Origin project. Execute · Medium tool_fit_nonlinear This tool triggers a computational fitting operation in Origin 2025b — it runs an iterative numerical algorithm (non-linear curve fitting) against data. Execute · Medium tool_fit_peak This tool executes a computational fitting operation (auto-finds peaks, runs curve fitting algorithms) against data. Write · Low tool_add_plot_to_graph This tool modifies a graph by adding a curve or plot to it, which is a reversible data creation operation.

19 of origin-MCP's 25 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control origin-MCP

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and origin-MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Rate limit write operations
{
  "tool_add_plot_to_graph": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "tool_add_plot_to_graph_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations
{
  "ping": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "ping_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.

  1. Create a free account and register origin-MCP — nothing to install.
  2. Add these rules — paste them, or build them visually. Tune the limits to your setup.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

FAQ

Questions about origin-MCP

How do I prevent bulk modifications through origin-MCP? +

The origin-MCP server has 16 write tools including tool_add_plot_to_graph, tool_add_text_annotation, tool_create_grouped_plot. Set a rate limit in your policy -- for example, 10 calls per hour prevents an agent from making more than 10 modifications per hour. PolicyLayer enforces this at the gateway, before calls reach origin-MCP.

How many tools does the origin- MCP server expose? +

25 tools across 2 categories: Read, Write. 6 are read-only. 19 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I enforce a policy on origin-MCP? +

Register the origin- MCP server in PolicyLayer, apply the suggested rules above (adjust the limits to your use case), and point your AI client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL instead of the server directly. Your agents keep the same tools; PolicyLayer evaluates every call against policy before it executes. Nothing to install, live in minutes.

Enforce policy on every origin-MCP tool call.

Deterministic rules across all 25 origin-MCP tools. Per-identity grants. Full audit log. Live in minutes. Nothing to install.
