What agentdb_graph-query does on Claude Flow
AI agents call agentdb_graph-query to retrieve information from Claude Flow without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why agentdb_graph-query is rated Low
Tool performs graph traversal and relationship querying without modifying data, but bounded complexity and multiple backend modes warrant medium severity.
From the tool's definition K-hop queries read committed graph_edges relationships through SQL
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs agentdb_graph-query safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Claude Flow, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For agentdb_graph-query, this is the rule to start with:
agentdb_graph-query 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 Claude Flow, apply this rule, and every agentdb_graph-query call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about agentdb_graph-query
Unified graph traversal across the knowledge graph (ADR-130). K-hop queries read committed graph_edges relationships through SQL; a separately populated native graph is not evidence of retained-history coverage. Inspect appliedDepth/truncated because SQL is bounded at 3 hops. maxNodesVisited bounds returned rows, not traversal work or elapsed time. Semantic and PageRank modes use their own backends. Use when you need relationship traversal beyond flat memory search. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Claude Flow MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Claude Flow MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for agentdb_graph-query: 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 Claude Flow. Nothing to install.
agentdb_graph-query is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the agentdb_graph-query 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for agentdb_graph-query. 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.
agentdb_graph-query is provided by the Claude Flow MCP server (claude-flow). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
