tables_for_operation

List the statistical tables belonging to one INE operation. operationId may be the numeric Id (e.g. 25) or the operation code (e.g. "IPC", "EPA"). Each table has an Id used by series_in_table / table_data.

Part of the Ine Es server.

tables_for_operation is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call tables_for_operation to retrieve information from Ine Es without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though tables_for_operation only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so tables_for_operation only ever does what you allow.

What does the tables_for_operation tool do? +

List the statistical tables belonging to one INE operation. operationId may be the numeric Id (e.g. 25) or the operation code (e.g. "IPC", "EPA"). Each table has an Id used by series_in_table / table_data.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Ine Es MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on tables_for_operation? +

Register the Ine Es MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for tables_for_operation: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Ine Es. Nothing to install.

What risk level is tables_for_operation? +

tables_for_operation is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit tables_for_operation? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the tables_for_operation rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block tables_for_operation completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for tables_for_operation. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides tables_for_operation? +

tables_for_operation is provided by the Ine Es MCP server (https://gateway.pipeworx.io/ine-es/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Ine Es tool call.
