What pg_migration_history does on PostgreSQL MCP Server
AI agents call pg_migration_history 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.
Why pg_migration_history is rated Low
This tool retrieves historical data about migrations with no side effects. It performs a read-only query operation similar to a SELECT statement filtered by optional criteria. The action is informational only and does not modify, execute, or delete any data.
From the tool's definition Tool description states "Query migration history" which is a retrieval operation. The optional filtering parameters (status, source system) are query constraints, not write/execute/destructive operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs pg_migration_history 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_migration_history, this is the rule to start with:
pg_migration_history is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect PostgreSQL MCP Server, apply this rule, and every pg_migration_history call is checked against it from then on.
