mine_run_template · AGR MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What mine_run_template does on AGR MCP Server

AI agents invoke mine_run_template to trigger actions in AGR MCP Server. 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 mine_run_template needs a policy

Although this tool queries genomics data (which would normally be 'Read'), the use of 'run' and 'template' with parameters indicates execution of pre-defined operations whose behavior depends on supplied arguments. The parameter substitution capability means an AI could potentially instantiate templates in unexpected ways.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'mine_run_template' combined with description 'Run a pre-built query template with parameters' indicates execution of templated queries. The ability to 'run' operations with customizable parameters suggests dynamic code/query execution.
