list all tables in the current database
AI agents call list_all_tables to retrieve information from Doris-MCP-Lite without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves database schema metadata without modifying, executing arbitrary code, or deleting data. It is a passive enumeration operation typical of read-only database exploration. The blast radius from misuse is minimal—an agent could enumerate available tables but cannot access data, execute commands, or cause destructive changes.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_all_tables' and description states it 'list all tables in the current database'. The server explicitly advertises 'read-only SQL queries' and 'data analysis'.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
list all tables in the current database. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Doris-MCP-Lite MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Doris-MCP-Lite MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_all_tables: 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 Doris-MCP-Lite. Nothing to install.
list_all_tables 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 list_all_tables 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 list_all_tables. 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.
list_all_tables is provided by the Doris-MCP-Lite MCP server (nomotok/doris-mcp-lite). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
