How to control oceanbase_hybrid_search ↓

AI agents call oceanbase_hybrid_search 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 or queries data from a database using hybrid search (vector + relational filtering). It has no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute arbitrary code. The parameters (search conditions, topk limits, output columns) indicate data retrieval only. This is a classic Read operation.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Perform hybrid search combining relational condition filtering and vector search' with parameters for querying (table_name, vector_data, vec_column_name, topk, output_column_name).

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

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

oceanbase_hybrid_search 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.

What does the oceanbase_hybrid_search tool do? +

Perform hybird search combining relational condition filtering(that is, scalar) and vector search. Args: table_name: Name of the table to search. vector_data: Query vector. vec_column_name: column name containing vectors to search. distance_func: The index distance algorithm used when comparing the distance between two vectors. with_distance: Whether to output distance data. filter_expr: Scalar conditions requiring filtering in where clause. topk: Number of results returned. output_column_name: Returned table fields,unless explicitly requested, please do not provide. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Oceanbase MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on oceanbase_hybrid_search? +

Register the Mcp Oceanbase MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for oceanbase_hybrid_search: 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 Mcp Oceanbase. Nothing to install.

What risk level is oceanbase_hybrid_search? +

oceanbase_hybrid_search is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit oceanbase_hybrid_search? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the oceanbase_hybrid_search 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.

How do I block oceanbase_hybrid_search completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for oceanbase_hybrid_search. 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.

What MCP server provides oceanbase_hybrid_search? +

oceanbase_hybrid_search is provided by the Mcp Oceanbase MCP server (oceanbase/awesome-oceanbase-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Mcp Oceanbase tool call.
