## Facts

- Tool: `get_source_ids`
- Server: OrigeneMCP (`gentel-lab/origenemcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/gentel-lab-origenemcp.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/GENTEL-lab/OrigeneMCP
- Risk category: Read (Low risk)
- Registry record: grade C, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 0
- Recommended policy verdict: Allowed

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "get_source_ids",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why get_source_ids is rated Low

This is a straightforward data retrieval tool that fetches source object details based on provided identifiers. It performs no writes, deletions, code execution, or financial operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—at worst, an agent could retrieve information it shouldn't have access to, which is a Read category risk.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_source_ids' and description 'Retrieve multiple source object details by IDs' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no modification or side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call get_source_ids 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches OrigeneMCP:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_source_ids": {}
  }
}
```
