Show compilation errors for a PL/SQL object (like SQL*Plus SHOW ERRORS).
AI agents call oracle_show_errors 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 queries and displays compilation error information for database objects. It performs no modifications, deletions, or code execution—it merely retrieves and displays diagnostic data. The blast radius of misuse is minimal; an attacker could only learn about compilation issues in existing PL/SQL objects, which is informational only.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'oracle_show_errors' and description 'Show compilation errors for a PL/SQL object (like SQL*Plus SHOW ERRORS)' indicate retrieval of error metadata without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Show compilation errors for a PL/SQL object (like SQL*Plus SHOW ERRORS). 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 oracle_show_errors: 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.
oracle_show_errors 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 oracle_show_errors 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 oracle_show_errors. 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.
oracle_show_errors 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.
