What PostgreSQL_replication_slot_activity_analysis does on Postgres
AI agents call PostgreSQL_replication_slot_activity_analysis 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.
Why PostgreSQL_replication_slot_activity_analysis is rated Low
This tool retrieves and analyzes replication slot activity and lag metrics from PostgreSQL. It is purely observational—reading diagnostic information about replication status without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations that would change database state or trigger external actions.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'analysis' and description states 'Detailed analysis of...with lag statistics', indicating data retrieval and monitoring only. No modifications, deletions, or command execution are performed.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs PostgreSQL_replication_slot_activity_analysis safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Postgres, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For PostgreSQL_replication_slot_activity_analysis, this is the rule to start with:
PostgreSQL_replication_slot_activity_analysis is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Postgres, apply this rule, and every PostgreSQL_replication_slot_activity_analysis call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about PostgreSQL_replication_slot_activity_analysis
Detailed analysis of logical and physical replication slots with lag statistics. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Postgres MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Postgres MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for PostgreSQL_replication_slot_activity_analysis: 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 Postgres. Nothing to install.
PostgreSQL_replication_slot_activity_analysis 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 PostgreSQL_replication_slot_activity_analysis 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 PostgreSQL_replication_slot_activity_analysis. 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.
PostgreSQL_replication_slot_activity_analysis is provided by the Postgres MCP server (mukul975/postgres-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
