List all indexes for a table
AI agents call postgres_list_indexes to retrieve information from Multi-Database MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves metadata about database indexes for informational purposes only. It performs no create, update, delete, or execute operations. The action is read-only and safe, with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent—at worst, it exposes schema information about existing indexes.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'postgres_list_indexes' and description 'List all indexes for a table' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no data modification or side effects.

Register the Multi-Database MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for postgres_list_indexes: 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 Multi-Database MCP Server. Nothing to install.
postgres_list_indexes 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 postgres_list_indexes 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 postgres_list_indexes. 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.
postgres_list_indexes is provided by the Multi-Database MCP Server MCP server (nam088/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
