calculate_heritability_ldsc · Gwas MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What calculate_heritability_ldsc does on Gwas

AI agents invoke calculate_heritability_ldsc to trigger actions in Gwas. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why calculate_heritability_ldsc needs a policy

This tool executes a statistical analysis algorithm (LDSC regression) on provided datasets to produce heritability estimates. It does not merely retrieve existing data (Read), nor does it write/modify stored records. It runs a computational process whose output depends on the input arguments, fitting the Execute category.

From the tool's definition 'Estimate SNP-heritability using LD Score regression' — runs a statistical computation (LD Score regression) on input data (GWAS summary statistics and LD scores)

Verdict

calculate_heritability_ldsc Rate-limited

calculate_heritability_ldsc stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: every tool call is checked against your rule before it reaches Gwas, so you can run agents against it safely.

FAQ

Questions about calculate_heritability_ldsc

What does the calculate_heritability_ldsc tool do? +

Estimate SNP-heritability using LD Score regression. Requires GWAS summary statistics and LD scores. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Gwas MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on calculate_heritability_ldsc? +

Register the Gwas MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for calculate_heritability_ldsc: 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 Gwas. Nothing to install.

What risk level is calculate_heritability_ldsc? +

calculate_heritability_ldsc is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit calculate_heritability_ldsc? +

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

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

calculate_heritability_ldsc is provided by the Gwas MCP server (muslus/gwas-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
