List all collections of species analysed with the specified compara method.
AI agents call get_info_compara_species_sets 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 performs a pure read operation—listing species collections and their associated comparative analysis metadata. It has no side effects, does not execute arbitrary operations, and cannot modify or delete data. The 'list' action and 'get_info' prefix are hallmarks of informational retrieval tasks.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_info_compara_species_sets' and description 'List all collections of species analysed with the specified compara method' indicates a query/list operation that retrieves comparative analysis metadata without modifying, deleting, or executing code.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_info_compara_species_sets 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_info_compara_species_sets:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_info_compara_species_sets": {}
}
}get_info_compara_species_sets is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

List all collections of species analysed with the specified compara method. 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_info_compara_species_sets: 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_info_compara_species_sets 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_info_compara_species_sets 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_info_compara_species_sets. 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_info_compara_species_sets 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.
