Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs pg_text_normalize 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_text_normalize, this is the rule to start with:
pg_text_normalize is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect PostgreSQL MCP Server, apply this rule, and every pg_text_normalize call is checked against it from then on.
