What get_source_id does on OrigeneMCP
AI agents call get_source_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.
Why get_source_id is rated Low
This is a read-only query operation that fetches data by identifier. It has no side effects, does not execute code, does not modify or delete data, and does not involve financial transactions. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius if misused by an agent — it can only retrieve existing information, not alter system state or trigger external actions.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Retrieve single source object details by ID' — a straightforward retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution capability.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_source_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_source_id, this is the rule to start with:
get_source_id 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_source_id call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about get_source_id
Retrieve single source object details by 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_source_id: 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_source_id 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_source_id 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_source_id. 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_source_id 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.
