Get overall statistics about the MCP database
AI agents call get_database_stats to retrieve information from Mcp Network Analyzer without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves statistical information about a database without side effects. It performs a query operation that returns read-only data (statistics/metrics). No data is modified, deleted, or executed as a result of calling this tool. This is a straightforward Read category operation with low risk due to its passive nature.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_database_stats' and description 'Get overall statistics about the MCP database' indicate retrieval of aggregate metrics with no modification, creation, or deletion of data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get overall statistics about the MCP database. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Network Analyzer MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mcp Network Analyzer MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_database_stats: 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 Mcp Network Analyzer. Nothing to install.
get_database_stats 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_stats 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_stats. 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_stats is provided by the Mcp Network Analyzer MCP server (kylebrodeur/mcp-network-analyzer). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
