Get comprehensive information about a specific ontology term
AI agents call get_term_info to retrieve information from Mcp Ubergraph Query without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and returns data about biomedical ontology terms without creating, modifying, or deleting any information. It is purely informational lookup functionality, consistent with the Read category. The blast radius if misused is minimal—an agent could retrieve unwanted information but cannot alter the ontology or trigger external effects.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_term_info' and description 'Get comprehensive information about a specific ontology term' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get comprehensive information about a specific ontology term. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Ubergraph Query MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mcp Ubergraph Query MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_term_info: 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 Ubergraph Query. Nothing to install.
get_term_info 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 get_term_info 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 get_term_info. 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.
get_term_info is provided by the Mcp Ubergraph Query MCP server (twhetzel/mcp-ubergraph-query). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
