Get tables in a project
AI agents call get_project_tables to retrieve information from Retable MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves or lists tables within a project, which is a read-only query operation. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations—it simply fetches information about the structure of a project. The low severity reflects minimal risk of harm from misuse, as it only exposes data structure information without capability to alter data or trigger external operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_project_tables' and description 'Get tables in a project' indicate retrieval of existing data with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get tables in a project. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Retable MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Retable MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_project_tables: 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 Retable MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_project_tables 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 get_project_tables 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 get_project_tables. 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.
get_project_tables is provided by the Retable MCP Server MCP server (retable-io/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
