## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "get_associated_diseases_phenotypes_by_target_name",

## Why get_associated_diseases_phenotypes_by_target_name is rated Low

This tool performs a straightforward lookup of associated diseases and phenotypes linked to a molecular target. It retrieves existing data from a knowledge base with no side effects, reversible actions, code execution, financial impact, or destructive operations. The context of other sibling tools (clinvar queries, depmap analysis) further confirms this is part of a read-only biomedical information retrieval system.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_associated_diseases_phenotypes_by_target_name' and description 'Find diseases or phenotypes associated with a specific target' indicate a retrieval operation that queries biomedical databases for information without modifying or executing…"

## Use case

AI agents call get_associated_diseases_phenotypes_by_target_name 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches OrigeneMCP:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_associated_diseases_phenotypes_by_target_name": {}
  }
}
```
