Get comprehensive information about a table including schema, indexes, and sample data
AI agents call get_table_info 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.
This tool retrieves metadata and sample data from a table without any side effects. It does not execute arbitrary queries, modify data, or delete anything. Combined with the context that this is a database inspection tool (alongside list_tables and describe_table), this is a straightforward Read operation.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Get[s] comprehensive information about a table including schema, indexes, and sample data'. The verbs are retrieval-only: 'get' and implicit read operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get comprehensive information about a table including schema, indexes, and sample data. It is categorised as a Read tool in the SQLite MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the SQLite MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_table_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 SQLite MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_table_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 get_table_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 get_table_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.
get_table_info is provided by the SQLite MCP Server MCP server (sam2332/mcp-quick-sqlite3). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
