List all stored procedures in the specified database, including schema, name, parameter count, and last modified date.
AI agents call list_stored_procedures to retrieve information from Sql Database without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
server | string | Yes | Server hostname (e.g. server1.database.windows.net) |
database | string | Yes | Database name |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
This is a metadata retrieval operation analogous to list_tables and list_databases (sibling tools). It queries the database catalog to enumerate stored procedure definitions but does not execute them, create them, modify them, or delete them.
From the tool's definition Tool lists stored procedures metadata: 'schema, name, parameter count, and last modified date' — retrieves information without modification or execution of procedures themselves.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all stored procedures in the specified database, including schema, name, parameter count, and last modified date. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Sql Database MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
list_stored_procedures accepts 2 parameters: server, database. Required: server, database. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Sql Database MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_stored_procedures: 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 Sql Database. Nothing to install.
list_stored_procedures 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_stored_procedures 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_stored_procedures. 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_stored_procedures is provided by the Sql Database MCP server (sql-database-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
