Search AllianceMine for genes, proteins, diseases, and other biological entities using keyword search.
AI agents call mine_search 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.
mine_search is a search/query function that retrieves information from a genomic database without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing external operations. The tool has no side effects beyond returning matching data. Severity is low because misuse poses minimal risk—an agent could retrieve unwanted information but cannot alter data, execute code, or cause financial harm.
From the tool's definition Tool performs 'keyword search' for biological entities (genes, proteins, diseases) with no modification capability described. The verb 'search' and 'query' nature combined with the read-only genomics database context indicates data retrieval only.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Search AllianceMine for genes, proteins, diseases, and other biological entities using keyword search. 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 mine_search: 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.
mine_search 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 mine_search 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 mine_search. 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.
mine_search 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.
