Retrieves data from a specific table with optional filtering, pagination, and ordering.
AI agents call get-table-data 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.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
skip | integer | — | Number of rows to skip (SKIP clause in Firebird) |
first | integer | — | Number of rows to retrieve (FIRST clause in Firebird) |
where | string | — | Optional WHERE clause (without the WHERE keyword) |
orderBy | string | — | Optional ORDER BY clause (without the ORDER BY keyword) |
tableName | string | Yes | Name of the table to retrieve data from |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
This tool performs a SELECT-like operation to fetch table data. It has no side effects, does not modify state, and is purely informational. Filtering, pagination, and ordering are standard read operations. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—misuse would expose data but not alter or delete it.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get-table-data' and description 'Retrieves data from a specific table' explicitly indicate data retrieval without modification. The mention of 'filtering, pagination, and ordering' are all read-only query modifiers.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Retrieves data from a specific table with optional filtering, pagination, and ordering. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Firebird MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
get-table-data accepts 5 parameters: skip, first, where, orderBy, tableName. Required: tableName. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Mcp Firebird MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get-table-data: 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-table-data 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-table-data 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-table-data. 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-table-data is provided by the Mcp Firebird MCP server (mcp-firebird). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
