Analyze the schema/structure of documents in a container. Samples documents to discover field names, data types, and frequency. Use this to understand the data model before writing queries.
AI agents call mcp_analyze_schema to retrieve information from Mcpcosmosdb without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool performs read-only schema analysis on CosmosDB containers. It samples and inspects document structure without modifying, executing arbitrary logic, or committing financial operations. The described use case is pre-query reconnaissance, which has minimal blast radius if misused—an agent could learn about data structure but cannot alter or delete it.
From the tool's definition Tool samples documents to discover field names, data types, and frequency. No mutation, deletion, or execution of arbitrary operations. Pure introspection of schema structure.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Analyze the schema/structure of documents in a container. Samples documents to discover field names, data types, and frequency. Use this to understand the data model before writing queries. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcpcosmosdb MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mcpcosmosdb MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for mcp_analyze_schema: 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 Mcpcosmosdb. Nothing to install.
mcp_analyze_schema 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 mcp_analyze_schema 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 mcp_analyze_schema. 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.
mcp_analyze_schema is provided by the Mcpcosmosdb MCP server (mcpcosmosdb). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
