Write operations (pg_copy_between_databases, pg_debug_database, pg_export_table_data) modify state. Without rate limits, an agent can make hundreds of changes in seconds — faster than any human can review or revert.

Execute tools (pg_execute_mutation, pg_execute_query, pg_execute_sql) trigger processes with side effects. Builds, notifications, workflows — all fired without throttling.

Rate limit write operations
{
  "pg_copy_between_databases": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "pg_copy_between_databases_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations
{
  "pg_analyze_database": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "pg_analyze_database_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.

How do I prevent bulk modifications through PostgreSQL Database Management Server? +

The PostgreSQL Database Management Server server has 13 write tools including pg_copy_between_databases, pg_debug_database, pg_export_table_data. Set a rate limit in your policy -- for example, 10 calls per hour prevents an agent from making more than 10 modifications per hour. PolicyLayer enforces this at the gateway, before calls reach PostgreSQL Database Management Server.
