List all stored procedures in the current database.

How to control list_stored_procedures ↓

AI agents call list_stored_procedures to retrieve information from Mcp Windows without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

This tool retrieves metadata about stored procedures without executing them, modifying them, or triggering side effects. It is purely informational, fitting the Read category definition of data retrieval operations. Low severity because listing database objects poses minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate querying/listing database objects: 'List all stored procedures in the current database.' This is a retrieval operation with no modification or deletion of data.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access list_stored_procedures gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Windows, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for list_stored_procedures:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_stored_procedures": {}
  }
}

list_stored_procedures is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Mcp Windows — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
