WHAT IT DOES

What pg_transaction_rollback does on PostgreSQL MCP Server

AI agents call pg_transaction_rollback 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_transaction_rollback is rated Low

Even though pg_transaction_rollback only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

pg_transaction_rollback Allowed
