What cdp_generate_query does on CDP MCP Server
AI agents invoke cdp_generate_query to trigger actions in CDP MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
Why cdp_generate_query is rated High
This tool generates SQL queries, which involves executing logic to produce query code. Generated SQL queries could be used to execute arbitrary data operations depending on the SQL generated and how it is subsequently used. The 'generate' action implies computation/execution rather than simple data retrieval, and the output (SQL) is inherently an executable artifact.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs cdp_generate_query safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and CDP MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For cdp_generate_query, this is the rule to start with:
cdp_generate_query stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect CDP MCP Server, apply this rule, and every cdp_generate_query call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about cdp_generate_query
Generate a SQL query from a dataset definition. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the CDP MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the CDP MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for cdp_generate_query: 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 CDP MCP Server. Nothing to install.
cdp_generate_query is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the cdp_generate_query 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 cdp_generate_query. 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.
cdp_generate_query is provided by the CDP MCP Server MCP server (atharva-joshi77/cdp-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
