Get summary information for a gene by Gene ID.
AI agents call get_gene_summary_by_geneid 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 existing gene summary data indexed by Gene ID. There are no mutations to data, no code execution, no financial implications, and no destructive operations. It is a straightforward information retrieval function typical of biomedical database queries, placing it squarely in the Read category with low severity risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_gene_summary_by_geneid' and description 'Get summary information for a gene by Gene ID' indicate a retrieval operation.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_gene_summary_by_geneid 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_gene_summary_by_geneid:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_gene_summary_by_geneid": {}
}
}get_gene_summary_by_geneid is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get summary information for a gene by Gene ID. 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_gene_summary_by_geneid: 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_gene_summary_by_geneid 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_gene_summary_by_geneid 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_gene_summary_by_geneid. 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_gene_summary_by_geneid 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.
