Get statistics and information about a database
AI agents call get_database_stats to retrieve information from DBeaver 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 database metadata and statistics without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It has no side effects and does not impact database state.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_database_stats' and description 'Get statistics and information about a database' indicate data retrieval with no modifications. The verb 'Get' and context of 'statistics and information' are consistent with read-only operations.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_database_stats gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and DBeaver MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_database_stats:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_database_stats": {}
}
}get_database_stats is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get statistics and information about a database. It is categorised as a Read tool in the DBeaver MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the DBeaver MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_database_stats: 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 DBeaver MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_database_stats 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 get_database_stats 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 get_database_stats. 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.
get_database_stats is provided by the DBeaver MCP Server MCP server (srthkdev/omnisql-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
