WHAT IT DOES

What kegg_get does on OrigeneMCP

AI agents call kegg_get 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.

RISK

Why kegg_get is rated Low

Based on the tool name 'kegg_get' and context of sibling tools (clinvar_query, depmap_get_expression, etc.), this appears to be a data retrieval function querying the KEGG biomedical database. No indication of write, delete, execute, or financial operations. The 'get' pattern across similar tools on this server (depmap_get_dependency, depmap_get_expression) consistently indicates Read operations with no side effects.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'kegg_get' suggests a retrieval operation from KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) database. The naming convention 'get' is consistent with Read operations. The description is empty, which lowers confidence slightly.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs kegg_get 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 kegg_get, this is the rule to start with:

kegg_get Allowed

kegg_get is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "kegg_get": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect OrigeneMCP, apply this rule, and every kegg_get call is checked against it from then on.
