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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "get_gene_links_by_id",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why get_gene_links_by_id is rated Low

This tool retrieves or queries data (gene links) based on an identifier. It performs no modifications, deletions, code execution, or financial operations. The operation is purely informational retrieval, consistent with the Read category.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_gene_links_by_id' and description 'Get gene links by gene ID' indicate retrieval of information. The verb 'get' and the read-only nature of fetching links associated with a gene ID confirm this is a query operation with no side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call get_gene_links_by_id 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_gene_links_by_id": {}
  }
}
```
