What execute-query does on Mcp Firebird

AI agents invoke execute-query to trigger actions in Mcp Firebird. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
sql string Yes SQL query to execute (Firebird uses FIRST/ROWS for pagination instead of LIMIT)
params array Parameters for parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

Why execute-query needs a policy

SQL query execution is inherently an Execute category risk because effects are argument-dependent and can range from benign reads to destructive modifications. The sibling tool 'execute-batch-queries' reinforces that multiple arbitrary queries can be run.

From the tool's definition Tool explicitly 'Executes a SQL query' in a database without specifying read-only constraints. Combined with sibling tools including 'execute-batch-queries' and the absence of any qualifier like 'select-only' or 'read-only', this enables arbitrary SQL…
