What post_lookup_id does on OrigeneMCP
AI agents call post_lookup_id as a supporting operation in OrigeneMCP workflows.
Why post_lookup_id is rated Low
The description is empty, so the tool's actual behavior cannot be determined. The name 'post_lookup_id' suggests a lookup/retrieval operation (Read), but 'post' could imply a write action. Given the server context (biomedical data retrieval), it likely performs an ID lookup query. With no description, confidence is very low and severity is kept low. Categorizing as Other due to insufficient information.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'post_lookup_id' and description is empty or uninformative.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs post_lookup_id safely

post_lookup_id gets a rate cap, and 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 post_lookup_id call is checked against it from then on.
