Why post_lookup_id needs a policy

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.

POLICY

How to control post_lookup_id

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 post_lookup_id:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "post_lookup_id": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "post_lookup_id_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 60,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

post_lookup_id gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register OrigeneMCP — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

Questions about post_lookup_id

What does the post_lookup_id tool do? +

post_lookup_id. It is categorised as a Other tool in the OrigeneMCP MCP Server, which means it performs auxiliary operations.

How do I enforce a policy on post_lookup_id? +

Register the Origene MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for post_lookup_id: 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 post_lookup_id? +

Can I rate-limit post_lookup_id? +

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

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

post_lookup_id 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.
