Search for stored procedures by name or content. Can search through procedure bodies to find specific SQL patterns, table references, or logic. Returns limited results (default 50, max 500) with matching line numbers.
AI agents call search_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 performs a search and retrieval operation over stored procedure metadata and content. It queries database objects to find matches based on name or body text patterns, then returns results. There are no side effects—no code execution, no data modification, and no destructive operations.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states it 'Search[es] for stored procedures by name or content' and 'Returns limited results'. The verb is 'search', which is a read-only operation with no modification or execution of queries.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Search for stored procedures by name or content. Can search through procedure bodies to find specific SQL patterns, table references, or logic. Returns limited results (default 50, max 500) with matching line numbers. 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 search_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.
search_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 search_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 search_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.
search_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.
