Create and execute a migration via prisma migrate dev

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

prisma Write

WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents use migrate-dev to create or modify resources in Prisma. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON MIGRATE-DEV

Without a policy, an AI agent could call migrate-dev repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Prisma.

RECOMMENDED POLICY

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

prisma.yaml 
tools:
  migrate-dev:
    rules:
      - action: allow
        rate_limit:
          max: 30
          window: 60

How do I enforce a policy on migrate-dev?

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

What risk level is migrate-dev?

migrate-dev is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit migrate-dev?

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the migrate-dev 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 migrate-dev completely?

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for migrate-dev. 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 migrate-dev?
