Generates TypeScript types based on the database schema. LLMs can save this to a file and use it in their code.
AI agents call generate_typescript_types to retrieve information from PostgREST without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool reads the database schema and generates TypeScript type definitions. It is a read-only introspection operation with no side effects on the database or any external systems. The only potential action is saving output to a file, which is a local write of generated code, but the tool itself is purely a schema read/query operation.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access generate_typescript_types gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and PostgREST, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for generate_typescript_types:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"generate_typescript_types": {}
}
}generate_typescript_types is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Generates TypeScript types based on the database schema. LLMs can save this to a file and use it in their code. It is categorised as a Read tool in the PostgREST MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the PostgREST MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for generate_typescript_types: 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 PostgREST. Nothing to install.
generate_typescript_types 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 generate_typescript_types 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 generate_typescript_types. 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.
generate_typescript_types is provided by the PostgREST MCP server (supabase/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
