WHAT IT DOES

What search_drug_pgx does on Openpgx

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

THE RISK

Low Risk

Why search_drug_pgx needs a policy

This tool retrieves pharmacogenomic research data and generates a prompt for external search. It has no side effects, does not execute code or commands, does not modify data, and does not create financial obligations. The severity is low because misuse would only result in retrieval of incorrect or irrelevant pharmacogenomic information, with no destructive or irreversible consequences.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'returns a structured research prompt' and explicitly instructs to 'Use YOUR web search capability' — the tool itself performs only information retrieval (search, query, get).

POLICY

How to control search_drug_pgx

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "search_drug_pgx": {}
  }
}

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

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

FAQ

Questions about search_drug_pgx

What does the search_drug_pgx tool do? +

When no local study data exists for a drug, this tool returns a structured research prompt. Use YOUR web search capability to find pharmacogenomic data, then call save_drug_research with the results. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Openpgx MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on search_drug_pgx? +

Register the Openpgx MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_drug_pgx: 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 Openpgx. Nothing to install.

What risk level is search_drug_pgx? +

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

Can I rate-limit search_drug_pgx? +

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

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

search_drug_pgx is provided by the Openpgx MCP server (open-pgx/openpgx). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Openpgx tool call.

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