Analyzes statistical information about a table including row count, column statistics, and data distribution.
AI agents call analyze-table-statistics to retrieve information from MCP Firebird without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves statistical information about table structure and data distribution without modifying data or executing arbitrary code. It is a read-only analytical operation with no side effects, placing it squarely in the Read category. Severity is low because the blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent can only retrieve statistics, not alter data or execute commands.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'analyze-table-statistics' and description indicate retrieval of statistical metadata: 'row count, column statistics, and data distribution.' No modification, deletion, or execution of arbitrary operations occurs.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access analyze-table-statistics gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and MCP Firebird, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for analyze-table-statistics:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"analyze-table-statistics": {}
}
}analyze-table-statistics is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Analyzes statistical information about a table including row count, column statistics, and data distribution. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MCP Firebird MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MCP Firebird MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for analyze-table-statistics: 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 Firebird. Nothing to install.
analyze-table-statistics 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 analyze-table-statistics 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 analyze-table-statistics. 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.
analyze-table-statistics is provided by the MCP Firebird MCP server (purodelphi/mcpfirebird). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
