# pg_create_table Create a new table with specified columns and constraints. Supports composite primary keys and table-level constraints. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `pg_create_table`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-postgres-mcp/pg-create-table ## Facts - Tool: `pg_create_table` - Server: PostgreSQL MCP Server (`@neverinfamous/postgres-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-postgres-mcp.md - Install: `npx -y @neverinfamous/postgres-mcp` - Homepage: https://github.com/neverinfamous/postgresql-mcp.git - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "pg_create_table", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why pg_create_table is rated Medium This tool creates new database objects (tables), which is a reversible write operation. While tables can be dropped later, creating them modifies the database schema and can impact dependent queries, applications, and storage. The blast radius is high because schema changes can break applications or cause data integrity issues if constraints are misconfigured. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'pg_create_table' and description 'Create a new table with specified columns and constraints' explicitly indicate data structure creation." ## Use case AI agents use pg_create_table 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**.
