Get list of model organisms supported by Alliance of Genome Resources.
AI agents call get_species_list to retrieve information from AGR MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves static reference data (the list of supported species) from the AGR database. It performs a query-only operation with no side effects, data modification, code execution, or destructive capability. The limited surface area and informational nature of the output results in low severity even if misused.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_species_list' and description 'Get list of model organisms supported by Alliance of Genome Resources' indicate a simple retrieval operation with no parameters that would affect external state.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get list of model organisms supported by Alliance of Genome Resources. It is categorised as a Read tool in the AGR MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the AGR MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_species_list: 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 AGR MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_species_list 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_species_list 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_species_list. 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_species_list is provided by the AGR MCP Server MCP server (nuin/agr-mcp-server-js). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
