WHAT IT DOES

What mongosh-stats does on Npm

AI agents call mongosh-stats to retrieve information from Npm without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why mongosh-stats is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries MongoDB statistics—collections metadata, object counts, data sizes, storage metrics, and index information. All operations are observational with no side effects. There is no modification, deletion, or execution of arbitrary code.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Gets MongoDB database statistics' with read-only operations (collections, objects, data size, storage, indexes). The verb 'Gets' and the nature of statistics retrieval indicate data querying without modification.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs mongosh-stats safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Npm, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For mongosh-stats, this is the rule to start with:

mongosh-stats Allowed

mongosh-stats is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "mongosh-stats": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Npm, apply this rule, and every mongosh-stats call is checked against it from then on.
