What query-database does on Tally Prime MCP Server

AI agents invoke query-database to trigger actions in Tally Prime MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

Why query-database needs a policy

This tool executes arbitrary SQL against an in-memory database. While the database is described as temporary/cached read-only report data, executing arbitrary SQL can include destructive statements (DROP, DELETE, UPDATE) depending on what the in-memory engine permits.

From the tool's definition "executes sql query on pglite postgres in-memory database" and "run complex analytical queries to aggregate, filter, sort results"
