AI agents call list_profiles to retrieve information from NDB MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a read-only operation that queries and retrieves profile information from the NDB system. It has no side effects, does not modify data, and does not execute operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could enumerate configuration options but cannot provision resources, delete data, or cause financial impact without combining it with other tools like create_dbserver.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_profiles' and description states 'Get a list of all profiles with advanced filtering options.' The tool retrieves and lists configuration profiles (Software, Compute, Network, Database_Parameter) without modifying, deleting, or executing…
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get a list of all profiles with advanced filtering options. Profile types: - Software: The image that will be used to create the database (e.g. a specific version of PostgreSQL, Oracle, etc.). - Compute: The resources that will be allocated to the database (CPU, RAM, etc.). Compute profiles are database engine agnostic, meaning they can be used for any database engine. - Network: The network configuration that will be applied to the database (VLAN, subnet, etc.). - Database_Parameter: The database parameters that will be applied to the database (init parameters, tuning, etc.). API-side filtering parameters: - engine: Filter by database engine (e.g. postgres_database, oracle_database, etc.) - type: Filter by profile type (Software, Compute, Network, Database_Parameter) These parameters are sent directly to the NDB API to reduce the result set before advanced filtering is applied. Advanced Filtering (MCP server-side): - Use valueType/value to filter the result set returned by the API before sending to the LLM. - Supports filtering on top-level profile fields and nested properties of versions (e.g. versions.name, versions.published, versions.length). - Operators: !value (not), >value/<value (comparison), *value* (contains) - Multiple filters: combine with comma-separated valueType/value pairs - Example: Find all user-defined PostgreSQL software profiles with at least 2 published versions: valueType=. It is categorised as a Read tool in the NDB MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the NDB MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_profiles: 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 NDB MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_profiles 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 list_profiles 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 list_profiles. 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.
list_profiles is provided by the NDB MCP Server MCP server (rouxton/ndb-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
list_profiles is one line of NDB 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.
