WHAT IT DOES

What get_cell_line does on OrigeneMCP

AI agents call get_cell_line 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.

RISK

Why get_cell_line is rated Low

The tool name indicates a simple getter/retrieval operation. Combined with the server's stated purpose ('information retrieval across molecules, proteins, genes, and diseases') and the consistent pattern of sibling tools being read-only database queries, this is classified as Read.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_cell_line' suggests data retrieval. Description is empty, reducing confidence. Sibling tools on the server (check_genome_accessions, clinvar_query_*, depmap_get_*) are all Read operations that query biomedical databases without modification.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs get_cell_line 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 get_cell_line, this is the rule to start with:

get_cell_line Allowed

get_cell_line is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect OrigeneMCP, apply this rule, and every get_cell_line call is checked against it from then on.
