What depmap_get_dependency does on OrigeneMCP

AI agents call depmap_get_dependency to retrieve information from OrigeneMCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why depmap_get_dependency needs a policy

Despite the empty description, the naming convention and context strongly suggest this tool retrieves dependency data from DepMap (a cancer genomics database). It follows the pattern of other depmap_get_* tools on the same server, all of which appear to be read-only queries. There is no evidence of write, delete, execute, or financial operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'depmap_get_dependency' and context of sibling tools (depmap_comprehensive_analysis, depmap_get_expression, depmap_get_mutation) which are all data retrieval operations from the DepMap database.

How to control depmap_get_dependency

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and OrigeneMCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for depmap_get_dependency:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "depmap_get_dependency": {}
  }
}

depmap_get_dependency is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register OrigeneMCP — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

Can I rate-limit depmap_get_dependency? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the depmap_get_dependency rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block depmap_get_dependency completely? +

What MCP server provides depmap_get_dependency? +

depmap_get_dependency is provided by the Origene MCP server (gentel-lab/origenemcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every OrigeneMCP tool call.

Start from OrigeneMCP, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
