How to control SurrealDB MCP Server ↓

Read (1) Write / Execute (8) Destructive / Financial (1)
Critical Risk

9 of SurrealDB MCP Server's 10 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and SurrealDB MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Deny destructive operations
{
  "delete": {
    "deny_if": [
      {
        "conditions": [],
        "on_deny": "Blocked by default. Requires approval."
      }
    ]
  }
}

Destructive tools should never be available to autonomous agents without human approval.

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

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

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

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

  1. Create a free account and register SurrealDB MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add these rules — paste them, or build them visually. Tune the limits to your setup.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

Can an AI agent delete data through the SurrealDB MCP Server MCP server? +

Yes. The SurrealDB MCP Server server exposes 1 destructive tools including delete. These permanently remove resources with no undo. PolicyLayer blocks destructive tools by default so they never reach the upstream server.

How do I prevent bulk modifications through SurrealDB MCP Server? +

The SurrealDB MCP Server server has 7 write tools including create, insert, insertRelation. 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 SurrealDB MCP Server.

How many tools does the SurrealDB MCP Server MCP server expose? +

10 tools across 3 categories: Destructive, Read, Write. 1 are read-only. 9 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I enforce a policy on SurrealDB MCP Server? +

Register the SurrealDB MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer, apply the suggested rules above (adjust the limits to your use case), and point your AI client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL instead of the server directly. Your agents keep the same tools; PolicyLayer evaluates every call against policy before it executes. Nothing to install, live in minutes.

Enforce policy on every SurrealDB MCP Server tool call.

Deterministic rules across all 10 SurrealDB MCP Server tools. Per-identity grants. Full audit log. Live in minutes. Nothing to install.
