Why get_drug needs a policy

This tool retrieves or queries drug data from a biomedical database without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It has no capability to alter state, trigger external actions, or cause irreversible changes. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—at worst, an agent could retrieve unwanted drug information, but cannot harm systems or data integrity.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_drug' and description 'Retrieve drug object list' indicate a data retrieval operation with no mutation or side effects. The verb 'retrieve' and noun 'list' confirm this is a query operation.

How to control get_drug

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_drug:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_drug": {}
  }
}

get_drug is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register OrigeneMCP — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
