get_advisors

Gets a list of advisory notices for a Supabase project. LLMs can use this to check for security vulnerabilities or performance issues.

How to control get_advisors ↓

AI agents call get_advisors 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.

Low Risk

This tool merely retrieves and displays existing advisory information from a Supabase project. It performs no modifications, deletions, executions, or financial operations. Even though the advisories may relate to security vulnerabilities, the tool itself only reads data; it does not fix, delete, or execute anything.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Gets a list of advisory notices' - a retrieval operation with no side effects. The term 'get' combined with 'list' and 'check' indicates read-only data retrieval.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_advisors 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 get_advisors:

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

get_advisors 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 PostgREST — 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.

What does the get_advisors tool do? +

Gets a list of advisory notices for a Supabase project. LLMs can use this to check for security vulnerabilities or performance issues. It is categorised as a Read tool in the PostgREST MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on get_advisors? +

Register the PostgREST MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_advisors: 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.

What risk level is get_advisors? +

get_advisors is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit get_advisors? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_advisors 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 get_advisors completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_advisors. 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 get_advisors? +

get_advisors 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.

Enforce policy on every PostgREST tool call.
