## Facts

- Tool: `get_target`

- Homepage: https://github.com/GENTEL-lab/OrigeneMCP
- Risk category: Read (Low risk)
- Registry record: grade C, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no

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

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

## Why get_target is rated Low

This tool retrieves information from a biomedical database without altering, executing operations on, or deleting data. It is a read-only query operation. Even if misused by an AI agent, it cannot cause destructive, financial, or irreversible harm—it merely returns data. The blast radius is limited to potential information disclosure, which justifies low severity.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_target' and description 'Retrieve target object list' indicate a data retrieval operation with no modification or side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call get_target 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_target": {}
  }
}
```
