Identify tables and databases approaching XID wraparound vacuum freeze threshold.
AI agents call PostgreSQL_vacuum_freeze_age_analysis to retrieve information from Postgres without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a diagnostic/monitoring tool that reads PostgreSQL system metadata to assess transaction ID (XID) wraparound risk. It does not execute transactions, modify data, delete data, or trigger external operations—it only queries and analyzes existing state.
From the tool's definition Tool performs analysis and identification of tables/databases by examining vacuum freeze age metrics, with no modification, deletion, or execution of queries that would alter data.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access PostgreSQL_vacuum_freeze_age_analysis gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Postgres, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for PostgreSQL_vacuum_freeze_age_analysis:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"PostgreSQL_vacuum_freeze_age_analysis": {}
}
}PostgreSQL_vacuum_freeze_age_analysis is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
Free to start. No card required.
Identify tables and databases approaching XID wraparound vacuum freeze threshold. 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_vacuum_freeze_age_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_vacuum_freeze_age_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_vacuum_freeze_age_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_vacuum_freeze_age_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_vacuum_freeze_age_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.
Start from Postgres, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
