List stored procedures in the database with pagination. Returns procedure names, schemas, modification dates, and total count. Use limit/offset for pagination. Default returns first 100 procedures.
AI agents call list_stored_procedures to retrieve information from MSSQL 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 metadata about stored procedures in the database without executing them, modifying data, or triggering any side effects. It is a simple listing/query operation that fits the Read category. Severity is low because the blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only enumerate stored procedures, which is non-destructive reconnaissance.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'List stored procedures' and 'Returns procedure names, schemas, modification dates, and total count' with pagination support.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List stored procedures in the database with pagination. Returns procedure names, schemas, modification dates, and total count. Use limit/offset for pagination. Default returns first 100 procedures. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MSSQL MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MSSQL MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_stored_procedures: 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.
list_stored_procedures 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 list_stored_procedures 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 list_stored_procedures. 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.
list_stored_procedures is provided by the MSSQL MCP Server MCP server (jpcanter/sql-server-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
