mgnify_analysis_annotations
AI agents call mgnify_analysis_annotations to retrieve information from MGnify MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool appears to retrieve or query annotation metadata for metagenomic analyses, which is a read-only operation with no side effects. While the empty description reduces confidence, the consistency with other read-only tools on the server (get_*, list_* patterns) and the read-only nature of annotation queries in bioinformatics contexts support the Read classification.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'mgnify_analysis_annotations' suggests retrieval of annotation data associated with analyses. No description provided, but the naming pattern matches sibling tools like mgnify_get_analysis and mgnify_list_analyses which are read-only query…
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
mgnify_analysis_annotations. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MGnify MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MGnify MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for mgnify_analysis_annotations: 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 MGnify MCP Server. Nothing to install.
mgnify_analysis_annotations 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 mgnify_analysis_annotations 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 mgnify_analysis_annotations. 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.
mgnify_analysis_annotations is provided by the MGnify MCP Server MCP server (mgs-sails/mgnify-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
