List sample associations for a sequencing run.
AI agents call get_samples_for_run to retrieve information from NGS360 MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns sample metadata associated with a sequencing run. It has no side effects, does not execute code or commands, does not modify data, and does not delete or remove anything. It is a straightforward read operation typical of API query tools in bioinformatics platforms.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_samples_for_run' and description 'List sample associations for a sequencing run' indicate a data retrieval operation with no modification or deletion capability.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List sample associations for a sequencing run. It is categorised as a Read tool in the NGS360 MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the NGS360 MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_samples_for_run: 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 NGS360 MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_samples_for_run 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 get_samples_for_run 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 get_samples_for_run. 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.
get_samples_for_run is provided by the NGS360 MCP Server MCP server (ngs360/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
