What get_table_constraints does on Db2i

AI agents call get_table_constraints to retrieve information from Db2i without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why get_table_constraints needs a policy

This tool performs metadata introspection only—it queries and returns constraint information without altering, creating, or deleting any data or schema objects. It has no side effects and poses minimal risk even if invoked repeatedly or with unexpected arguments, as it only retrieves existing schema information.

From the tool's definition Tool retrieves constraint metadata for a table (primary keys, foreign keys, unique constraints) via schema inspection. Description indicates read-only retrieval of table metadata with no modification or deletion capability.

How to control get_table_constraints

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Db2i, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_table_constraints:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_table_constraints": {}
  }
}

get_table_constraints is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Db2i — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
