Purpose: Inspect a RawTree table
AI agents call describe-table to retrieve information from RawTree MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool queries and returns information about table structure and properties. This is a read-only operation that retrieves data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. It carries minimal security risk as it only exposes metadata.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'describe-table' and description 'Inspect a RawTree table' indicate retrieval of table metadata/schema with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Purpose: Inspect a RawTree table. It is categorised as a Read tool in the RawTree MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the RawTree MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for describe-table: 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 RawTree MCP Server. Nothing to install.
describe-table 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 describe-table 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 describe-table. 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.
describe-table is provided by the RawTree MCP Server MCP server (rawtreedb/rawtree-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
describe-table is one line of RawTree MCP Server's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
