How to control change_tenant_password ↓

AI agents use change_tenant_password to create or update resources in Mcp Oceanbase — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Mcp Oceanbase environment.

Medium Risk

Changing a password is a Write operation (modifies credentials reversibly, as a new password can be set again). However, it carries high severity because misuse by an AI agent could lock out legitimate users from a tenant, effectively causing a denial of access. Confidence is reduced because the description is empty, so the exact behavior is inferred from the name alone.

From the tool's definition Tool name: 'change_tenant_password' — implies modifying a tenant's password credential.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access change_tenant_password gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Oceanbase, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for change_tenant_password:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "change_tenant_password": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "change_tenant_password_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

change_tenant_password stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Mcp Oceanbase — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
