WHAT IT DOES

What search_uniref_clusters does on OrigeneMCP

AI agents call search_uniref_clusters 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_uniref_clusters is rated Low

Search operations are fundamentally retrieval-based with no side effects. The tool appears designed to query UniRef protein clusters—a read-only biomedical database lookup. Despite the empty description lowering confidence slightly, the function name and surrounding context (a research acceleration platform with similar tools like 'clinvar_query_*' and 'depmap_get_*') indicate this is informational retrieval.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'search_uniref_clusters' indicates a search operation against UniRef (UniProt Reference) clusters, which is a query/retrieval function.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

search_uniref_clusters Allowed

search_uniref_clusters 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": {
    "search_uniref_clusters": {}
  }
}

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_uniref_clusters call is checked against it from then on.
