# get_advisors

Gets a list of advisory notices for the Supabase project. Use this to check for security vulnerabilities or performance improvements. Include the remediation URL as a clickable link so that the user can reference the issue themselves. It's recommended to run this tool regularly, especially after making DDL changes to the database since it will catch things like missing RLS policies.

## Why get_advisors is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries advisory information from Supabase without modifying, executing, or destructing any data. It is a read-only operation that helps users understand their project's security and performance status. The low severity reflects that misuse would only result in information disclosure, not system compromise or data loss.

From the tool's own definition: "The tool description states it 'Gets a list of advisory notices' and is used to 'check for security vulnerabilities or performance improvements.' The action is purely informational retrieval with no side effects."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Supabase:

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