What get_skip_scan_status does on Mcpg
AI agents call get_skip_scan_status 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.
Why get_skip_scan_status is rated Low
The tool retrieves status information about skip scan optimization in PostgreSQL. The 'get_' prefix and '_status' suffix indicate a read operation that queries existing state without modifying or executing anything. While the description is empty, the naming convention is strong evidence of a read operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_skip_scan_status' follows the 'get_*' pattern which is characteristic of retrieval operations. It queries the status of skip scans, a PostgreSQL query optimization technique, with no indication of modification or execution.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_skip_scan_status safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mcpg, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For get_skip_scan_status, this is the rule to start with:
get_skip_scan_status is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Mcpg, apply this rule, and every get_skip_scan_status call is checked against it from then on.
