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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,

## Why get_associated_drugs_by_target_name is rated Low

This tool retrieves publicly available biomedical reference data about drugs and their targets. It performs a lookup in a database and returns information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any code. The severity is low because misuse would only result in informational access with no ability to affect systems, finances, or data integrity. Confidence is high given the clear retrieval-only semantics.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_associated_drugs_by_target_name' and description 'Get known drugs associated with a specific target, including clinical trial phase and mechanism of action of the drugs' indicate data retrieval with no modification or side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call get_associated_drugs_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_drugs_by_target_name": {}
  }
}
```
