AI agents may call drop-table to permanently remove or destroy resources in Sqlite. Without a policy, an autonomous agent could delete critical data in a loop with no way to undo the damage. PolicyLayer blocks destructive tools by default and requires explicit human approval before enabling them.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call drop-table in a loop, permanently destroying resources in Sqlite. There is no undo for destructive operations. PolicyLayer blocks this tool by default and only allows it when a human explicitly approves the action.

Destructive tools permanently remove data. Block by default. Only enable with explicit approval workflows.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so drop-table only ever does what you allow.

What does the drop-table tool do? +

Remove tables from the database. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Sqlite MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.

How do I enforce a policy on drop-table? +

Register the Sqlite MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for drop-table: 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 Sqlite. Nothing to install.

What risk level is drop-table? +

drop-table is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.

Can I rate-limit drop-table? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the drop-table 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.

How do I block drop-table completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for drop-table. 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.

What MCP server provides drop-table? +

drop-table is provided by the Sqlite MCP server (mcp-server-sqlite). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Sqlite tool call.
