Gets the detailed schema of multiple tables in parallel for improved performance.
AI agents call describe-batch-tables to retrieve information from MCP Firebird without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves database schema information in bulk (multiple tables in parallel), which is a non-destructive query operation. It inspects structure metadata without side effects, matching the Read category definition: 'retrieves or queries data; no side effects (search, list, get, fetch)'.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'describe-batch-tables' and description 'Gets the detailed schema of multiple tables' indicate retrieval of schema metadata with no modification or execution of code. The word 'Gets' explicitly denotes a read operation.

Gets the detailed schema of multiple tables in parallel for improved performance. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MCP Firebird MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MCP Firebird MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for describe-batch-tables: 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 Firebird. Nothing to install.
describe-batch-tables 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 describe-batch-tables 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 describe-batch-tables. 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.
describe-batch-tables is provided by the MCP Firebird MCP server (luancamara/mcpfirebird). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
describe-batch-tables is one line of MCP Firebird's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
