What science.uniprot.features does on Apibase
AI agents call science.uniprot.features to retrieve information from Apibase without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
accession | string | Yes | UniProt accession number to retrieve sequence features for (e.g. "P69905", "P01308"). Returns active sites, domains, signal peptides, transmembrane regions, dis |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why science.uniprot.features is rated Low
Retrieves protein sequence annotations from a public database with no side effects or data modification capability.
From the tool's definition Get sequence-level annotations and functional features for a protein by UniProt accession.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs science.uniprot.features safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Apibase, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For science.uniprot.features, this is the rule to start with:
science.uniprot.features is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Apibase, apply this rule, and every science.uniprot.features call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about science.uniprot.features
Get sequence-level annotations and functional features for a protein by UniProt accession. Returns active sites, binding sites, signal peptides, transmembrane regions, disulfide bonds, post-translational modifications, domain boundaries, secondary structure elements (helix, strand, turn), natural variants, and chain cleavage sites — all with exact sequence positions. Essential for structural biology, drug target analysis, and protein engineering workflows. CC BY 4.0 — Universal Protein Resource (UniProt Consortium). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Apibase MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
science.uniprot.features accepts 1 parameter: accession. Required: accession. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Apibase MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for science.uniprot.features: 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 Apibase. Nothing to install.
science.uniprot.features is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the science.uniprot.features 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for science.uniprot.features. 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.
science.uniprot.features is provided by the Apibase MCP server (apibase-mcp-client). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
