## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "pg_create_schema",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why pg_create_schema is rated Medium

Creating a schema is a write operation that adds new database structure reversibly. While it modifies the database catalog, it does not destroy data or execute arbitrary code. The severity is medium because uncontrolled schema creation could fragment the database, consume resources, or interfere with application logic, but the operation itself is not destructive or irreversible—schemas can be dropped.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'pg_create_schema' and description 'Create a new schema' indicate schema creation, which modifies the database structure."

## Use case

AI agents use pg_create_schema to create or update resources in PostgreSQL MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your PostgreSQL MCP Server environment.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches PostgreSQL MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "pg_create_schema": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "pg_create_schema_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
