[READ-ONLY] Get full source code for an APEX page: JavaScript (Function Declaration), CSS (Inline CSS), region HTML/SQL sources, and process PL/SQL code. Useful for reviewing or modifying page logic. Returns CLOB content as text.
AI agents call apex_get_page_source to retrieve information from Oracle APEX 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 and displays source code without executing it, modifying data, or causing side effects. It is a pure read operation that queries metadata and source code content. While knowledge of source code could inform malicious actions, the tool itself performs no mutations, executions, or destructive operations. It falls clearly into the Read category.
From the tool's definition Tool is explicitly marked as '[READ-ONLY]' and retrieves 'full source code for an APEX page' including JavaScript, CSS, HTML, SQL, and PL/SQL.

Register the Oracle APEX MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for apex_get_page_source: 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 Oracle APEX MCP Server. Nothing to install.
apex_get_page_source 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 apex_get_page_source 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.
