THE RISK

Low Risk

Why dsql_lint needs a policy

The tool name suggests a linting operation (static analysis) on DSQL, which would typically be a read/analysis operation with no side effects. However, without a description, confidence is very low. Lint tools generally read and analyze code without modifying data, suggesting a Read or Other classification. Given the ambiguity, Other is assigned with low confidence.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'dsql_lint' and description is empty or uninformative.

POLICY

How to control dsql_lint

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Prometheus MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for dsql_lint:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "dsql_lint": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "dsql_lint_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 60,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

dsql_lint gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Prometheus MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
