[READ-ONLY] List Oracle APEX applications with ID, name, alias, owner, page count. Queries APEX_APPLICATIONS view. Adapts to detected APEX version automatically.
AI agents call apex_list_applications 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 application metadata from the APEX_APPLICATIONS view without modifying any data or triggering any operations. The explicit read-only designation and query-only nature clearly place it in the Read category.
From the tool's definition Tool is explicitly marked '[READ-ONLY]' and 'List Oracle APEX applications with ID, name, alias, owner, page count. Queries APEX_APPLICATIONS view.' It performs a passive query against a metadata view with no write, delete, or execute operations.

[READ-ONLY] List Oracle APEX applications with ID, name, alias, owner, page count. Queries APEX_APPLICATIONS view. Adapts to detected APEX version automatically. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Oracle APEX MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Oracle APEX MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for apex_list_applications: 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_list_applications 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_list_applications 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 apex_list_applications. 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.
apex_list_applications is provided by the Oracle APEX MCP Server MCP server (silviosotelo/oracle-apex-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
