What get_variant_recoder does on OrigeneMCP
AI agents call get_variant_recoder 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_variant_recoder is rated Low
Based on naming convention and context within a biomedical research server focused on data retrieval, this tool most likely retrieves or transforms variant data without modifying it. However, confidence is moderate (0.6) because the description is empty, preventing confirmation of exact functionality. If it recodes/transforms data only in memory for the user, it remains Read.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_variant_recoder' suggests retrieving or decoding variant information. Sibling tools (clinvar_find_single_mutation, clinvar_query_sequence_variants, depmap_get_dependency, depmap_get_expression) are all Read operations that query biomedical…
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_variant_recoder 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_variant_recoder, this is the rule to start with:
get_variant_recoder 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_variant_recoder call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about get_variant_recoder
get_variant_recoder is a read tool on the Origene MCP server. 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_variant_recoder: 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_variant_recoder 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_variant_recoder 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_variant_recoder. 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_variant_recoder 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.
