WHAT IT DOES

What get_lookup_id does on OrigeneMCP

AI agents call get_lookup_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.

RISK

Why get_lookup_id is rated Low

The name 'get_lookup_id' indicates a retrieval operation that obtains an identifier, typical of Read category tools that query or retrieve data without side effects. Despite the empty description lowering confidence, the 'get' prefix and sibling tools (clinvar_get_*, depmap_get_*) on this biomedical research server are consistently read-only retrievals.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_lookup_id' suggests retrieval of an identifier, consistent with Read operations like 'get' and 'fetch'. Description is empty, limiting direct confirmation.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs get_lookup_id 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_lookup_id, this is the rule to start with:

get_lookup_id Allowed

get_lookup_id is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  "tools": {
    "get_lookup_id": {}
  }

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect OrigeneMCP, apply this rule, and every get_lookup_id call is checked against it from then on.
