Update database settings such as plan (resize) or version. At least one of planID or version must be provided.
AI agents use liara_update_database to create or update resources in Liara MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Liara MCP Server environment.
The tool modifies database settings (plan/resize and version) which are configuration changes that can be reversed or updated further. While these changes affect infrastructure and could have service impact, they do not irreversibly destroy data or resources (which would be Destructive), nor do they move money (Financial) or execute arbitrary code (Execute).
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'update' and description states 'Update database settings such as plan (resize) or version.' These are reversible modifications to database configuration.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access liara_update_database gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Liara MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for liara_update_database:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"liara_update_database": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "liara_update_database_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}liara_update_database stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Update database settings such as plan (resize) or version. At least one of planID or version must be provided. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Liara MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Liara MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for liara_update_database: 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 Liara MCP Server. Nothing to install.
liara_update_database is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the liara_update_database 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 liara_update_database. 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.
liara_update_database is provided by the Liara MCP Server MCP server (razavioo/liara-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Liara MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
