What batch_modality_screen does on AlphaGenome MCP Server

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

Why batch_modality_screen needs a policy

The tool screens/tests variants for regulatory effects, which is a read/query operation — it retrieves predictions or analytical results about variants. There is no indication of data creation, modification, deletion, or financial operations. It appears to be an analysis/scoring tool similar to sibling tools like batch_score_variants and batch_pathogenicity_filter.

From the tool's definition Screen variants across specific regulatory modalities. Efficiently tests multiple variants for specific regulatory effects.

Questions about batch_modality_screen

What does the batch_modality_screen tool do? +

Screen variants across specific regulatory modalities. Efficiently tests multiple variants for specific regulatory effects. Perfect for: targeted regulatory screens, modality-specific studies. Example:. It is categorised as a Read tool in the AlphaGenome MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on batch_modality_screen? +

Register the AlphaGenome MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for batch_modality_screen: 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 AlphaGenome MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is batch_modality_screen? +

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

Can I rate-limit batch_modality_screen? +

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

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

batch_modality_screen is provided by the AlphaGenome MCP Server MCP server (taehojo/alphagenome-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
