  • annotate_variantAnnotate and classify one human genetic variant using GeneBe.Reads text others writeNo findings

    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    • The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.

    What it can reach

    • untrusted-inputThe server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Annotate and classify one human genetic variant using GeneBe. Start here for any question about a variant (what is it, is it pathogenic/benign, how common is it). Returns the ACMG verdict with points and criteria, population frequency (gnomAD), predictor scores (REVEL, AlphaMissense, SpliceAI, ...), ClinVar status, transcript consequences, and links to the GeneBe page to cite. Research use only; not a diagnosis.

      What this check looks for
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Convert a variant written in any notation into normalized hg38 genomic coordinates. Use when you only need the chr/pos/ref/alt of a variant (for example to translate HGVS or an rsID), without annotation. Does not classify the variant; use annotate_variant for that.

      annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":true}; The description's first verb is "convert": a word for a change.

      What this check looks for
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Convert a genomic position, interval or variant between genome builds (hg19, hg38, t2t). Check `status`: RESOLVED means one result, AMBIGUOUS means several candidates, anything else means it could not be mapped (see errors). For variants, ref/alt are rebuilt against the target reference and warnings such as REF_MISMATCH may apply.

    • The name "explain_acmg_decision_path" says "explain": a word for reading.

    What it can reach

    • untrusted-inputThe server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Explain step by step why each classification criterion did or did not apply to a variant. Use after annotate_variant when the user asks "why was this classified that way?". Returns an ASCII rendering of the decision tree with the evaluated conditions. By default it explains the germline ACMG verdict that annotate_variant returns; the somatic trees 'oncogenicity' (2022) and 'acgs-uk-onco' (2025) can be requested explicitly. Research use only.

    Description, as the server wrote it
    Look up a human gene: identifiers, location, MANE Select transcript, ClinGen gene-disease validity. Use for questions about a gene rather than a specific variant. Transcripts are listed with MANE Select first and capped; check total_transcripts.

    • untrusted-inputThe server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    List a variant's predicted molecular consequences on every overlapping transcript. Returns per-transcript HGVS (c. and p.), consequence terms (e.g. missense_variant) and impact, most severe and MANE Select transcripts first. Lightweight: no frequencies or classification.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.

Exfil surface

Which tools read private data, which read text someone else can write, and which can send data out. One of each is a path a prompt injection can use.

No private-data, untrusted-input, outbound path in this server alone: no tool is tagged private-data or outbound.

Reads private data0
Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories.
Reads text others write6
Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments.
Can send data out0
Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL.

Other servers in the same agent add their own tools to these paths. Audit your whole setup to see them together.

  • WarnThe whole server

    The endpoint served tools/list without credentials, and the list has 3 tools that change things (3 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

    Matched text

    https://mcp.genebe.net/v1/mcp: tools/list returned 6 tools to an anonymous client, including annotate_variant (write), convert_variant (write), liftover_coordinate (write)

Run in a terminal.

Claude Code permissions

Allow the reads, ask before a change or a way out, deny the deletes. Paste into .claude/settings.json.

.claude/settings.json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__genebe__explain_acmg_decision_path",
      "mcp__genebe__get_variant_effects",
      "mcp__genebe__get_gene"
    ],

      "mcp__genebe__convert_variant",
      "mcp__genebe__liftover_coordinate"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}

Tools that only read are allowed, tools that change things ask first, tools that delete or cancel are denied. A read that can send data out (it takes a URL, say) asks first too. It assumes the server is installed as genebe. Review it before you use it.
