What list_tables does on SQLite MCP Server

AI agents call list_tables to retrieve information from SQLite MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why list_tables needs a policy

This tool queries and returns information about database schema (table names) without creating, modifying, or deleting any data. It is a pure read operation with minimal security risk—the worst outcome is exposure of table names, which does not compromise data integrity or create financial liability. Severity is low because the impact is informational only.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_tables' and description '列出数据库中的所有表' (list all tables in the database) indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.
