WHAT IT DOES

What pdb_get_residue_chains does on OrigeneMCP

AI agents call pdb_get_residue_chains 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 pdb_get_residue_chains is rated Low

The tool appears to query protein structural data to retrieve residue and chain information. No description is provided, which lowers confidence slightly, but the naming convention ('get_*') and context among sibling read-only biomedical query tools (check_genome_accessions, clinvar_query_*) indicate this is a data retrieval operation with no side effects.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'pdb_get_residue_chains' indicates retrieval of structural data from PDB (Protein Data Bank). The 'get' verb and lack of mutation/modification language suggest read-only access to protein structure information.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

pdb_get_residue_chains Allowed

pdb_get_residue_chains 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": {
    "pdb_get_residue_chains": {}
  }
}

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 pdb_get_residue_chains call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about pdb_get_residue_chains

What does the pdb_get_residue_chains tool do? +

pdb_get_residue_chains 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.

How do I enforce a policy on pdb_get_residue_chains? +

Register the Origene MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for pdb_get_residue_chains: 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.

What risk level is pdb_get_residue_chains? +

pdb_get_residue_chains is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit pdb_get_residue_chains? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the pdb_get_residue_chains 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 pdb_get_residue_chains completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for pdb_get_residue_chains. 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 pdb_get_residue_chains? +

pdb_get_residue_chains 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.
