What create_procedure does on MSSQL MCP Server

AI agents use create_procedure to create or update resources in MSSQL MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your MSSQL MCP Server environment.

Why create_procedure needs a policy

This tool creates a new stored procedure, which is a reversible Write operation on the database schema. While stored procedures can contain arbitrary SQL logic (potentially Execute-level risk), the tool itself is classified as Write because it creates a database object definition rather than executing arbitrary code directly.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_procedure' and description 'Create a new stored procedure' indicate creation of a database object. The sibling tools show this server permits creation, modification, and deletion of schema objects.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access create_procedure gives an agent:

How to control create_procedure

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and MSSQL MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for create_procedure:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create_procedure": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create_procedure_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

create_procedure stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register MSSQL MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

Questions about create_procedure

What does the create_procedure tool do? +

Create a new stored procedure. It is categorised as a Write tool in the MSSQL MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on create_procedure? +

Register the MSSQL MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_procedure: 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 MSSQL MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is create_procedure? +

create_procedure is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit create_procedure? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_procedure 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 create_procedure completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for create_procedure. 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 create_procedure? +

create_procedure is provided by the MSSQL MCP Server MCP server (jensenloke/mcp-sqlserver-pro). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every MSSQL MCP Server tool call.

Start from MSSQL MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
