Get database statistics: total runs, strategies, symbols tested, date range, and size. Essential first call to understand the data available.
AI agents call get_database_status to retrieve information from Mcp Strategy Research Db without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves informational statistics about the database without creating, modifying, executing, or deleting any data. It has no side effects and presents minimal risk if invoked by an AI agent—the worst outcome is receiving factual database metadata. Classification as Read is appropriate.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_database_status' and description 'Get database statistics: total runs, strategies, symbols tested, date range, and size' indicate read-only retrieval of metadata and summary statistics with no modification or execution capabilities.

Get database statistics: total runs, strategies, symbols tested, date range, and size. Essential first call to understand the data available. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Strategy Research Db MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mcp Strategy Research Db MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_database_status: 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 Strategy Research Db. Nothing to install.
get_database_status 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_status 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_status. 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_status is provided by the Mcp Strategy Research Db MCP server (locupleto/mcp-strategy-research-db). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
