Why supplement_protocol needs a policy

supplement_protocol performs analysis of genetic data and returns derived insights (personalized suggestions) based on user genome data. This is fundamentally a read operation that retrieves and interprets existing data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing external operations.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Analyze genes' and 'Returns personalized suggestions' - operations that query and retrieve data without modifying it.

POLICY

How to control supplement_protocol

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 supplement_protocol:

policy.json

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

supplement_protocol 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 supplement_protocol

What does the supplement_protocol tool do? +

Analyze genes related to supplement metabolism: MTHFR, COMT, VDR, BCMO1, FUT2, CBS. Returns personalized suggestions. 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 supplement_protocol? +

Register the Openpgx MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for supplement_protocol: 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 supplement_protocol? +

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

Can I rate-limit supplement_protocol? +

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

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

supplement_protocol 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.
