peaka_list_tables

List all available tables for a given catalog and schema in the Peaka project. If you do not already know the projectId for the current task, call peaka_list_projects first and ask the user which project to use. Remember the chosen projectId for subsequent calls in this conversation.

Single-target operation

Part of the Peaka MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

AI agents call peaka_list_tables to retrieve information from Peaka without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though peaka_list_tables only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

What does the peaka_list_tables tool do? +

List all available tables for a given catalog and schema in the Peaka project. If you do not already know the projectId for the current task, call peaka_list_projects first and ask the user which project to use. Remember the chosen projectId for subsequent calls in this conversation.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Peaka MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on peaka_list_tables? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for peaka_list_tables. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Peaka MCP server.

What risk level is peaka_list_tables? +

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

Can I rate-limit peaka_list_tables? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the peaka_list_tables rule in your Intercept 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 peaka_list_tables completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for peaka_list_tables. 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 peaka_list_tables? +

peaka_list_tables is provided by the Peaka MCP server (@peaka/mcp-server-peaka). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
