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

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

## Why PostgreSQL_get_sequence_usage_stats is rated Low

This tool retrieves and analyzes sequence usage statistics to identify potential issues (exhaustion risks). It performs queries to gather diagnostic information about PostgreSQL sequences but does not create, modify, delete, or execute arbitrary code.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name and description indicate analysis and monitoring: 'Analyze sequence usage patterns and potential exhaustion risks.' The verb 'Analyze' and the focus on gathering metrics about sequence behavior are diagnostic read operations without modification."

## Use case

AI agents call PostgreSQL_get_sequence_usage_stats to retrieve information from Postgres without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "PostgreSQL_get_sequence_usage_stats": {}
  }
}
```
