What rosetta_score does on Protein Design

AI agents call rosetta_score to retrieve information from Protein Design without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why rosetta_score needs a policy

This tool evaluates/scores an existing protein structure using an energy function. It reads/analyzes a structure and returns a score — no data is modified, created, or deleted. Pure read/analysis operation with low blast radius.

How to control rosetta_score

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Protein Design, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for rosetta_score:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "rosetta_score": {}
  }
}

rosetta_score is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Protein Design — 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 rosetta_score

What does the rosetta_score tool do? +

Score a protein structure using Rosetta energy function (ref2015). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Protein Design MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on rosetta_score? +

Register the Protein Design MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for rosetta_score: 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 Protein Design. Nothing to install.

What risk level is rosetta_score? +

rosetta_score is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit rosetta_score? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the rosetta_score 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 rosetta_score completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for rosetta_score. 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 rosetta_score? +

rosetta_score is provided by the Protein Design MCP server (jasonkim8652/protein-design-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Protein Design tool call.

Start from Protein Design, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
