What get_info_variation does on OrigeneMCP

AI agents call get_info_variation 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.

Why get_info_variation needs a policy

The tool name indicates a 'get' operation (read semantics) on variation data within a biomedical research platform. The description is empty, reducing confidence slightly, but context from sibling tools and the read-only nature of genomic/proteomic databases suggests this retrieves variant information without side effects. No evidence of write, execute, destructive, or financial operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_info_variation' suggests retrieval of variation/variant information. Sibling tools on this biomedical MCP server (clinvar_query_sequence_variants, clinvar_query_variant_significance, depmap_get_dependency, depmap_get_expression,…

How to control get_info_variation

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_variation:

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

get_info_variation 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.
