# pg_list_objects List database objects filtered by type. Use type: Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `pg_list_objects`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-postgres-mcp/pg-list-objects ## Facts - Tool: `pg_list_objects` - 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: Read (Low risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Allowed ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "pg_list_objects", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why pg_list_objects is rated Low This tool queries and lists database objects without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It is a non-destructive read operation with minimal blast radius if misused—an AI agent would only retrieve metadata about database objects, which cannot cause data loss or unintended side effects. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'pg_list_objects' and description 'List database objects filtered by type' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no modification or deletion of data." ## Use case AI agents call pg_list_objects 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. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Allowed**. 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_list_objects": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on PostgreSQL MCP Server (273) - `pg_cascade_simulator` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-postgres-mcp/pg-cascade-simulator.md - `pg_cron_cleanup_history` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-postgres-mcp/pg-cron-cleanup-history.md - `pg_cron_unschedule` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-postgres-mcp/pg-cron-unschedule.md - `pg_detach_partition` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-postgres-mcp/pg-detach-partition.md - `pg_doc_drop_collection` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-postgres-mcp/pg-doc-drop-collection.md - `pg_doc_remove` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-postgres-mcp/pg-doc-remove.md - `pg_drop_index` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-postgres-mcp/pg-drop-index.md - `pg_drop_schema` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-postgres-mcp/pg-drop-schema.md - `pg_drop_sequence` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-postgres-mcp/pg-drop-sequence.md - `pg_drop_table` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-postgres-mcp/pg-drop-table.md - `pg_drop_view` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-postgres-mcp/pg-drop-view.md - `pg_kcache_reset` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-postgres-mcp/pg-kcache-reset.md - `pg_migration_rollback` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-postgres-mcp/pg-migration-rollback.md - `pg_partman_set_retention` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-postgres-mcp/pg-partman-set-retention.md - `pg_reset_stats` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-postgres-mcp/pg-reset-stats.md - `pg_role_drop` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-postgres-mcp/pg-role-drop.md - `pg_text_normalize` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-postgres-mcp/pg-text-normalize.md - `pg_truncate` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-postgres-mcp/pg-truncate.md - `pg_analyze` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-postgres-mcp/pg-analyze.md - `pg_analyze_query_indexes` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-postgres-mcp/pg-analyze-query-indexes.md - `pg_buffer` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-postgres-mcp/pg-buffer.md - `pg_cancel_backend` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-postgres-mcp/pg-cancel-backend.md - `pg_cluster` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-postgres-mcp/pg-cluster.md - `pg_cron_create_extension` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-postgres-mcp/pg-cron-create-extension.md - `pg_cron_schedule` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-postgres-mcp/pg-cron-schedule.md - `pg_cron_schedule_in_database` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-postgres-mcp/pg-cron-schedule-in-database.md - `pg_explain_analyze` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-postgres-mcp/pg-explain-analyze.md - `pg_geo_cluster` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-postgres-mcp/pg-geo-cluster.md - `pg_geo_transform` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-postgres-mcp/pg-geo-transform.md - `pg_geometry_transform` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-postgres-mcp/pg-geometry-transform.md - …and 243 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-postgres-mcp.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
