Manage PostgreSQL functions - get, create, or drop functions with a single tool. Examples: operation="get" to list functions, operation="create" with functionName="test_func", parameters="" (empty for no params), returnType="TEXT", functionBody="SELECT 'Hello'"
High parameter count (13 properties); Single-target operation
Part of the PostgreSQL Database Management Server MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents use pg_manage_functions to create or modify resources in PostgreSQL Database Management Server. 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 pg_manage_functions 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 PostgreSQL Database Management Server.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

Manage PostgreSQL functions - get, create, or drop functions with a single tool. Examples: operation="get" to list functions, operation="create" with functionName="test_func", parameters="" (empty for no params), returnType="TEXT", functionBody="SELECT 'Hello'". It is categorised as a Write tool in the PostgreSQL Database Management Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for pg_manage_functions. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the PostgreSQL Database Management Server MCP server.
pg_manage_functions is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the pg_manage_functions 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.
Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for pg_manage_functions. 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.
pg_manage_functions is provided by the PostgreSQL Database Management Server MCP server (HenkDz/postgresql-mcp-server). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
