What list-tables does on SQLite Cloud MCP Server

AI agents call list-tables to retrieve information from SQLite Cloud MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why list-tables needs a policy

The tool retrieves structural metadata about the database (table names) without querying data, executing code, or modifying anything. It has no side effects beyond reading. This is a standard Read category operation with low severity since it only exposes schema structure that is typically discoverable by legitimate users.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list-tables' and description 'List all tables in the SQLite database' indicate a retrieval operation with no data modification or execution. This is a schema inspection query.
