WHAT IT DOES

What pg_capacity_planning does on PostgreSQL MCP Server

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

RISK

Why pg_capacity_planning is rated Low

This tool analyzes existing statistics and provides forecasts/reports. It reads from pg_stat_user_tables counters and produces growth estimates. No data is modified, deleted, or executed — it is purely a read/analytical operation. Severity is low as misuse would only expose database growth metrics.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs pg_capacity_planning safely

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

pg_capacity_planning Allowed

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