WHAT IT DOES

What pg_migration_risks does on PostgreSQL MCP Server

AI agents call pg_migration_risks 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.

RISK

Why pg_migration_risks is rated Low

This tool performs analysis/inspection of proposed DDL statements without actually executing them. It reads and evaluates risk factors (data loss, lock contention, constraint violations, breaking changes) as a pre-flight check. No data is modified or executed. Severity is medium because misclassification or misleading analysis could lead to unsafe migrations being approved.
