AI agents call get_compound_dict 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.
This tool retrieves and returns compound properties in dictionary format. It performs a straightforward data lookup with no side effects, modifications, deletions, or external operations. No arguments are described that would permit destructive or execute-class operations. This is a clear Read operation typical of biomedical database query tools.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_compound_dict' and description 'Get a dictionary of a compound's properties' indicate retrieval of compound metadata without modification.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_compound_dict gives an agent:
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 get_compound_dict:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_compound_dict": {}
}
}get_compound_dict is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
Free to start. No card required.
Get a dictionary of a compound's properties. It is categorised as a Read tool in the OrigeneMCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Origene MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_compound_dict: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches OrigeneMCP. Nothing to install.
get_compound_dict is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_compound_dict 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_compound_dict. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
get_compound_dict 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.
Start from OrigeneMCP, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
