What post_sequence_id does on OrigeneMCP

AI agents use post_sequence_id to create or update resources in OrigeneMCP — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your OrigeneMCP environment.

Why post_sequence_id needs a policy

The 'post' prefix strongly suggests this tool creates or submits sequence data. While the empty description reduces certainty, the verb choice and context within a biomedical database platform (alongside other read-focused tools like 'clinvar_query' and 'depmap_get') indicate a Write operation. Confidence is moderate due to missing documentation.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'post_sequence_id' uses 'post' verb, indicating a write/create operation. Description is empty, limiting confidence. Context suggests it operates on sequence identifiers within a biomedical database platform.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access post_sequence_id gives an agent:

How to control post_sequence_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_sequence_id:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "post_sequence_id": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "post_sequence_id_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

post_sequence_id stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

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

Questions about post_sequence_id

What does the post_sequence_id tool do? +

post_sequence_id. It is categorised as a Write tool in the OrigeneMCP MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on post_sequence_id? +

Register the Origene MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for post_sequence_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_sequence_id? +

post_sequence_id is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit post_sequence_id? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the post_sequence_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_sequence_id completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for post_sequence_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_sequence_id? +

post_sequence_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.
