AI agents call show_tenant 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.
Given the empty description and the context of a database server (OceanBase), 'show_tenant' most likely retrieves or displays tenant configuration/status information. This is a read operation with no side effects. Confidence is moderate (0.7) due to the lack of explicit description, but the verb 'show' and context strongly suggest a retrieval operation rather than modification or execution.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'show_tenant' suggests retrieving or displaying tenant information without modification. The tool name pattern is consistent with query/list operations typical in database management systems.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access show_tenant 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 show_tenant:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"show_tenant": {}
}
}show_tenant is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

show_tenant. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Oceanbase MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mcp Oceanbase MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for show_tenant: 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.
show_tenant 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 show_tenant 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 show_tenant. 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.
show_tenant 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.
