What pdb_get_aggregation_group_provenance does on OrigeneMCP
AI agents call pdb_get_aggregation_group_provenance 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 pdb_get_aggregation_group_provenance is rated Low
Based on the tool name structure and context within a biomedical research platform, this appears to be a read-only query tool that retrieves historical or source information about protein aggregation groups. There is no indication of write, delete, execute, or financial operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'pdb_get_aggregation_group_provenance' suggests retrieving provenance/metadata about aggregation groups from the PDB (Protein Data Bank). The 'get_' prefix and 'provenance' (historical/source information) indicate data retrieval with no modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs pdb_get_aggregation_group_provenance 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 pdb_get_aggregation_group_provenance, this is the rule to start with:
pdb_get_aggregation_group_provenance 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 pdb_get_aggregation_group_provenance call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about pdb_get_aggregation_group_provenance
pdb_get_aggregation_group_provenance 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 pdb_get_aggregation_group_provenance: 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.
pdb_get_aggregation_group_provenance 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 pdb_get_aggregation_group_provenance 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 pdb_get_aggregation_group_provenance. 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.
pdb_get_aggregation_group_provenance 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.
