WHAT IT DOES

What search_molecule does on OrigeneMCP

AI agents call search_molecule 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 search_molecule is rated Low

Given the name suggests a search operation (typically non-destructive retrieval), the sibling tools are all Read-category queries, and the server is explicitly designed for 'information retrieval,' this tool almost certainly performs a Read operation querying molecule databases. Empty description lowers confidence slightly, but the contextual evidence is strong.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'search_molecule' indicates querying/retrieval of molecular data. Description is empty, limiting definitive assessment.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

search_molecule Allowed

search_molecule is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "search_molecule": {}
  }
}

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 search_molecule call is checked against it from then on.
