Show the columns and CREATE VIEW DDL of a view
AI agents call describe_view to retrieve information from Querybridge without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and displays structural information about a database view (columns, DDL statement). It performs no side effects, creates no data, executes no logic, and deletes nothing. It is a read-only schema inspection operation similar to DESCRIBE or SHOW statements in SQL.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'describe_view' and description 'Show the columns and CREATE VIEW DDL of a view' indicate retrieval of view metadata and schema information without modification or execution of arbitrary code.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Show the columns and CREATE VIEW DDL of a view. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Querybridge MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Querybridge MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for describe_view: 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 Querybridge. Nothing to install.
describe_view 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_view 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_view. 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_view is provided by the Querybridge MCP server (mahmoudhassanmustafa/querybridge-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
