WHAT IT DOES

What research.funding does on Mcp

AI agents call research.funding to retrieve information from Mcp without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why research.funding is rated Low

This is purely a query/search tool that retrieves publicly available biomedical grant information from a US federal database. No data is modified, deleted, created, or irreversibly altered. No code is executed, and no financial transactions occur (the grants themselves are historical public records being queried). The tool has no side effects beyond returning matching records.

From the tool's definition Tool searches and retrieves data from a public database (NIH RePORTER): 'Search US federal biomedical research grants via NIH RePORTER. Filter by term (title/terms/abstract), org, pi, and/or fiscalYear.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs research.funding safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mcp, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For research.funding, this is the rule to start with:

research.funding Allowed

research.funding 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": {
    "research.funding": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Mcp, apply this rule, and every research.funding call is checked against it from then on.
