Why get_tissue needs a policy

This tool fetches tissue objects from a biomedical database. The verb 'Retrieve' and the passive nature of listing/getting data without altering state or triggering external actions clearly places it in the Read category. Biomedical reference data retrieval poses minimal risk even if misused by an agent, as it cannot modify records, execute operations, or cause financial impact.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_tissue' and description 'Retrieve tissue object list' indicate a data retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.

How to control get_tissue

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and OrigeneMCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_tissue:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_tissue": {}
  }
}

get_tissue is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register OrigeneMCP — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
