AI agents call get_enums 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 metadata about enumeration types—essentially reference/lookup data. It has no side effects, does not modify data, does not execute code or commands, and does not delete or move resources. It fits the 'Read' category as a simple data retrieval operation. Severity is low because enums are typically read-only configuration metadata with minimal blast radius if misused.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_enums' and description 'Get enumeration types and values' indicate retrieval of data structures and reference values with no modification, deletion, or execution of external operations.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_enums 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_enums:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_enums": {}
}
}get_enums 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 enumeration types and values. 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_enums: 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_enums 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_enums 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_enums. 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_enums 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.
