AI agents call get_database_info to retrieve information from Xugu without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a read-only operation that fetches database version and metadata information. It has no side effects, does not modify data, does not execute code, and does not delete or move resources. The blast radius if misused is minimal—an attacker gains only informational access to database details.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_database_info' and description 'Get database version and information' indicate a query operation that retrieves metadata about the database without modifying data or executing arbitrary code.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get database version and information. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Xugu MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Xugu MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_database_info: 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 Xugu. Nothing to install.
get_database_info 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_info 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_info. 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_info is provided by the Xugu MCP server (leokupo/xugu-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
