Retrieve a Notion database and its schema by ID.
AI agents call get_database to retrieve information from Integrations MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a query operation to fetch metadata and schema information from a Notion database. The verb 'Retrieve' and lack of any modification, deletion, or execution language clearly indicate a read-only operation. The severity is low because retrieving schema information does not create blast radius beyond potential information disclosure of database structure, which is typically non-sensitive metadata.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_database' and description 'Retrieve a Notion database and its schema by ID' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Retrieve a Notion database and its schema by ID. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Integrations MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Integrations MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_database: 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 Integrations MCP. Nothing to install.
get_database 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_database 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_database. 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_database is provided by the Integrations MCP server (shriram-vasudevan/integrations-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
