Why turso_execute_sql is rated High
SQL query execution is classified as Execute rather than Destructive because the capability to perform destructive operations depends on the arguments passed and database permissions, not the tool itself. However, the severity is high because unrestricted SQL execution poses significant risk: an AI agent could be tricked into running queries that exfiltrate data, modify records, or corrupt the database.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Execute a SQL query' — this permits arbitrary SQL execution against a database.

The rule that runs turso_execute_sql safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and UnClick, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For turso_execute_sql, this is the rule to start with:
turso_execute_sql stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect UnClick, apply this rule, and every turso_execute_sql call is checked against it from then on.
