What get_info_variation_consequence_types does on OrigeneMCP
AI agents call get_info_variation_consequence_types 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.
Why get_info_variation_consequence_types is rated Low
The tool retrieves reference information about Ensembl's variant consequence type classifications. It queries a static or semi-static biomedical database to provide lookup data for researchers. No code execution, data modification, deletion, or financial operations are performed.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'get_info' and description states 'Lists all variant consequence types' — this is purely informational retrieval with no data modification, execution, or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_info_variation_consequence_types safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and OrigeneMCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For get_info_variation_consequence_types, this is the rule to start with:
get_info_variation_consequence_types is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect OrigeneMCP, apply this rule, and every get_info_variation_consequence_types call is checked against it from then on.
