Short summary for a prediction (organism, sequence, mean pLDDT).
AI agents call summary to retrieve information from Mcp Alphafold without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns existing AlphaFold prediction metadata without creating, modifying, executing code, or deleting data. It is a straightforward data retrieval operation with no side effects or security risk beyond typical data access controls.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it retrieves a "short summary for a prediction" including organism, sequence, and mean pLDDT metrics. The verb 'retrieves' and the read-only nature of obtaining prediction metadata indicate no modifications occur.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Short summary for a prediction (organism, sequence, mean pLDDT). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Alphafold MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mcp Alphafold MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for summary: 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 Mcp Alphafold. Nothing to install.
summary 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 summary 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 summary. 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.
summary is provided by the Mcp Alphafold MCP server (pipeworx-io/mcp-alphafold). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
