Report the active security policy.
AI agents call db_security_status to retrieve information from Custom MCP Database Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only query of security policy state. It has no side effects, does not execute code or commands, does not modify data, and does not involve financial operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could only gain visibility into existing security policies, which does not enable harmful actions by itself. Classification as Read is appropriate.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'db_security_status' and description 'Report the active security policy' indicate a retrieval operation that queries and returns the current security policy configuration without modifying any data or triggering external actions.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Report the active security policy. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Custom MCP Database Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Custom MCP Database Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for db_security_status: 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 Custom MCP Database Server. Nothing to install.
db_security_status 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 db_security_status 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 db_security_status. 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.
db_security_status is provided by the Custom MCP Database Server MCP server (renanlido/custom-mcp-database). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
