WHAT IT DOES

What get_database_ddl does on Mcpg

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

RISK

Why get_database_ddl is rated Low

The tool retrieves database schema information (tables, indexes, constraints, etc.), which is a read-only operation with no side effects on data or structure. However, severity is elevated to 'medium' because DDL schemas can reveal sensitive system architecture, table names, and structural details that an AI agent could exploit for reconnaissance or to craft targeted attacks.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_database_ddl' indicates retrieval of database schema definitions (DDL = Data Definition Language). No description provided, but DDL retrieval is fundamentally a read operation that queries schema metadata.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs get_database_ddl safely

get_database_ddl Allowed

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

  }
}

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

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