- Homepage: https://github.com/mukul975/postgres-mcp-server
- Risk category: Destructive (Critical risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "PostgreSQL_drop_schema",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why PostgreSQL_drop_schema is rated Critical

DROP operations are irreversible data deletion. A schema drop removes all contained objects and their data permanently. This has maximum blast radius if invoked by a misdirected AI agent, affecting potentially large numbers of database objects and applications depending on that schema. Severity is critical due to irreversibility and high impact potential.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name explicitly contains 'drop_schema' and description states 'Drop a database schema.' The DROP operation in PostgreSQL irreversibly deletes the schema and all objects within it (tables, functions, etc.), which cannot be undone without restore from…"

## Use case

AI agents call PostgreSQL_drop_schema to permanently remove resources in Postgres, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Hidden**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Postgres:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "PostgreSQL_drop_schema"
  ]
}
```
