How to control get_ob_ash_report ↓

AI agents call get_ob_ash_report to retrieve information from Mcp Oceanbase without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

This is a read-only operation that queries and retrieves performance monitoring data from the database system. It samples session activity and returns historical information for analysis purposes with no side effects, data modifications, or destructive operations. The verb 'Get' and the descriptive focus on retrieval and analysis confirm it is a Read category tool.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Get OceanBase Active Session History report' and retrieves data about 'Active Sessions in the system' including 'Current executing SQL ID', 'wait events', 'wait time', 'SESSION status records'.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_ob_ash_report 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 get_ob_ash_report:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_ob_ash_report": {}
  }
}

get_ob_ash_report is read-only, so it stays allowed — but 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.
