Get detailed information about the current or specified database
AI agents call database_info to retrieve information from LocalDB 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 gathers metadata about a database without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. Even in the context of a SQL Server LocalDB server with other tools like execute_sql and delete operations available, this specific tool is purely informational.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves detailed information about a database ('Get detailed information about the current or specified database'). No modification, deletion, or execution capabilities are indicated.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get detailed information about the current or specified database. It is categorised as a Read tool in the LocalDB MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the LocalDB MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for database_info: 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 LocalDB MCP Server. Nothing to install.
database_info 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 database_info 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 database_info. 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.
database_info is provided by the LocalDB MCP Server MCP server (sam2332/localdb-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
