get_database
AI agents call get_database to retrieve information from OCI MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves database resource information from OCI without modifying state. However, severity is medium rather than low because database queries could expose sensitive data (credentials, schemas, configurations) depending on what information the tool returns, posing a risk if an agent extracts and exfiltrates this data.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_database' indicates a retrieval operation. Server description mentions 'management of...database systems' and sibling tools are all read-only getters (get_alarm, get_autonomous_database, get_boot_volume, get_bucket, get_budget, get_cost_*).
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
get_database. It is categorised as a Read tool in the OCI MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the OCI MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_database: 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 OCI MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_database 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 get_database 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 get_database. 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.
get_database is provided by the OCI MCP Server MCP server (jopsis/mcp-server-oci). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
