List all tables in the configured SQLite database
AI agents call list_tables to retrieve information from Multi-Tool MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs introspection of database structure by listing available tables. It is a non-destructive query with no side effects. While it reveals database schema information, the impact is informational only. Severity is low because unauthorized schema disclosure has limited immediate blast radius compared to data modification or deletion tools on this server.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'List all tables in the configured SQLite database' — a read-only query operation that retrieves schema metadata without modifying data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all tables in the configured SQLite database. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Multi-Tool MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Multi-Tool MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_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 Multi-Tool MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_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 list_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 list_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.
list_tables is provided by the Multi-Tool MCP Server MCP server (shawn-falconbury/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
