What kegg_find does on OrigeneMCP

AI agents call kegg_find to retrieve information from OrigeneMCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

Why kegg_find needs a policy

The 'find' operation in the context of biomedical databases typically searches and retrieves reference information without modification. No destructive, executable, or financial operations are evident. Confidence is moderate (0.7) rather than high (0.9+) because the description is empty, requiring inference from name and context; however, the pattern is consistent with read-only query tools across the server.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'kegg_find' follows query/search naming patterns consistent with read-only database lookups. KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) is a biomedical reference database.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access kegg_find gives an agent:

How to control kegg_find

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 kegg_find:

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

kegg_find 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.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the kegg_find 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.

How do I block kegg_find completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for kegg_find. 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.

What MCP server provides kegg_find? +

kegg_find 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.

Enforce policy on every OrigeneMCP tool call.

Start from OrigeneMCP, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
