How to control get_resource_capacity ↓

AI agents call get_resource_capacity 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 tool retrieves system resource capacity information from OceanBase. It performs a query operation that reads data without side effects, making it a Read category tool. The requirement to be 'sys tenant' indicates access control but does not change the nature of the operation. Severity is low because retrieving capacity metrics poses minimal risk even if misused—it provides informational data only.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_resource_capacity' and description 'Get resource capacity from oceanbase' indicates a retrieval operation with no modification or deletion of data.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_resource_capacity 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_resource_capacity:

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

get_resource_capacity 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.
