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

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

## Why pg_create_sequence is rated Medium

Sequence creation is a reversible Write operation—it adds a new database object but does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or move money. It modifies the database schema. While sequences support application logic, they are not intrinsically destructive (sequences can be dropped), and misuse would primarily affect application behavior or exhaust sequence ranges rather than cause severe blast radius.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool creates a new sequence object with START, INCREMENT, MIN/MAX, CACHE, CYCLE, and OWNED BY parameters. 'Create a new sequence' clearly indicates data structure creation."

## Use case

AI agents use pg_create_sequence 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_sequence": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "pg_create_sequence_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
