addDatabaseConnection

添加新的关系型数据库连接。连接信息将被保存并可在后续会话中使用。

Accepts URL/endpoint input (input.host); Handles credentials or secrets (input.password)

Part of the Database MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

AI agents use addDatabaseConnection to create or modify resources in Database. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call addDatabaseConnection repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Database.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

What does the addDatabaseConnection tool do? +

添加新的关系型数据库连接。连接信息将被保存并可在后续会话中使用。. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Database MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on addDatabaseConnection? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for addDatabaseConnection. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Database MCP server.

What risk level is addDatabaseConnection? +

addDatabaseConnection is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit addDatabaseConnection? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the addDatabaseConnection rule in your Intercept 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.

How do I block addDatabaseConnection completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for addDatabaseConnection. 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.

What MCP server provides addDatabaseConnection? +

addDatabaseConnection is provided by the Database MCP server (@porcorosso0709/database-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
