What add_mssql_user does on 20i MCP Server
AI agents use add_mssql_user to create or update resources in 20i MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your 20i MCP Server environment.
Why add_mssql_user is rated Medium
Adding a user to an MSSQL database is a write operation that modifies database state by creating a new user credential/role. It is reversible (the user can be deleted), so it does not qualify as Destructive. It does not execute arbitrary code or trigger external operations unpredictably (Execute), nor does it move money (Financial).
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'add_mssql_user' and description states 'Add user to MSSQL database' — this creates a new database user account, which is a reversible modification to database access configuration.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs add_mssql_user safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and 20i MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For add_mssql_user, this is the rule to start with:
add_mssql_user stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect 20i MCP Server, apply this rule, and every add_mssql_user call is checked against it from then on.
