analyze_molecule

Analyze a molecule from its SMILES string. Returns physicochemical properties: molecular weight, LogP, H-bond donors/acceptors, TPSA, rotatable bonds, ring count, and molecular formula.

What analyze_molecule does on MedSci Agent

AI agents call analyze_molecule to retrieve information from MedSci Agent without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why analyze_molecule needs a policy

This is a pure analysis/computation tool that retrieves or derives properties from a molecule structure without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any external operations. It performs read-only calculations and returns descriptive data.

From the tool's definition Tool returns physicochemical properties (molecular weight, LogP, H-bond donors/acceptors, TPSA, rotatable bonds, ring count, molecular formula) from SMILES input with no modification or deletion of data.

How to control analyze_molecule

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and MedSci Agent, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for analyze_molecule:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "analyze_molecule": {}
  }
}

analyze_molecule is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register MedSci Agent — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

Questions about analyze_molecule

What does the analyze_molecule tool do? +

Analyze a molecule from its SMILES string. Returns physicochemical properties: molecular weight, LogP, H-bond donors/acceptors, TPSA, rotatable bonds, ring count, and molecular formula. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MedSci Agent MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on analyze_molecule? +

Register the MedSci Agent MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for analyze_molecule: 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 MedSci Agent. Nothing to install.

What risk level is analyze_molecule? +

analyze_molecule is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit analyze_molecule? +

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

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

analyze_molecule is provided by the MedSci Agent MCP server (omar-a-hassan/medsci-agent). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every MedSci Agent tool call.

Start from MedSci Agent, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
