List all databases
AI agents call list_databases to retrieve information from Coolify MCP Tools without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a straightforward data retrieval tool that queries and returns information about existing databases. It has no capability to modify, delete, or execute operations on infrastructure. The low severity reflects that merely enumerating databases poses minimal risk even if misused, though it could inform reconnaissance in a broader attack.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_databases' and description states 'List all databases' — a direct query operation with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all databases. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Coolify MCP Tools MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Coolify MCP Tools MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_databases: 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 Coolify MCP Tools. Nothing to install.
list_databases 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_databases 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_databases. 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_databases is provided by the Coolify MCP Tools MCP server (jplansink/coolify-mcp-tools). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
