Retrieves general information about the connected Firebird database.
AI agents call get-database-info 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 metadata (version, configuration, status) with no side effects. It is a passive information retrieval operation comparable to schema inspection tools. The blast radius is minimal—an agent cannot cause harm by calling this tool repeatedly or with any arguments.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get-database-info' and description 'Retrieves general information about the connected Firebird database' indicate a read-only operation that queries metadata without modifying or executing operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Retrieves general information about the connected Firebird database. 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 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 MCP Firebird. 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 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.
