schema string Schema name (default: from DB_SCHEMA env or 'public')

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

Why kb_list_constraints needs a policy

This tool queries and retrieves schema metadata about table constraints (PK, FK, UNIQUE, CHECK). It performs no side effects, creates no data, executes no operations, and modifies nothing. It is a pure read/inspection operation on database schema information, analogous to querying system catalogs. Misuse carries minimal risk since an AI agent cannot damage data or systems by merely listing constraints.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'kb_list_constraints' and description state it 'List all constraints' with no modification, deletion, or execution capabilities. Returns constraint metadata only.
