What list_replicas does on Mcpg
AI agents call list_replicas 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 list_replicas is rated Low
The verb 'list' strongly suggests data retrieval without modification. While the empty description reduces confidence slightly, the naming convention and context within a PostgreSQL MCP server (where listing replicas would be a read-only informational query) supports classification as Read with low severity. No financial, destructive, or code execution implications apparent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_replicas' indicates a listing/querying operation typical of Read category operations (list, get, fetch). No description provided to confirm side effects or destructive potential.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs list_replicas 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 list_replicas, this is the rule to start with:
list_replicas 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 list_replicas call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about list_replicas
list_replicas is a read tool on the Mcpg MCP server. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcpg MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mcpg MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_replicas: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Mcpg. Nothing to install.
list_replicas is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the list_replicas rule in your PolicyLayer 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 PolicyLayer policy for list_replicas. 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.
list_replicas is provided by the Mcpg MCP server (pypi:mcpg). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
