depmap_get_expression

What depmap_get_expression does on OrigeneMCP

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

Why depmap_get_expression is rated Low

The tool appears to retrieve gene expression data from the DepMap database. As a 'get' operation on a biomedical database, it is a read-only retrieval with no side effects. Even if misused by an AI agent, it cannot modify, delete, or execute code—only retrieve data. Severity is low due to limited blast radius of information disclosure in a research context.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'depmap_get_expression' follows the pattern of read-only query tools on this server (e.g., depmap_get_dependency, depmap_get_mutation, ensembl_get_genes_by_band). The 'get' verb indicates retrieval rather than modification.

The rule that runs depmap_get_expression safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and OrigeneMCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For depmap_get_expression, this is the rule to start with:

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "depmap_get_expression": {}
  }
}
