Medium Risk

sb_insert_records

Insert one or more records into a Supabase table. Pass a single object or an array of objects. Use return=representation to get the created records back.

Single-target operation

Part of the Supabase MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

AI agents use sb_insert_records to create or modify resources in Supabase. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call sb_insert_records repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Supabase.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

What does the sb_insert_records tool do? +

Insert one or more records into a Supabase table. Pass a single object or an array of objects. Use return=representation to get the created records back.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Supabase MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on sb_insert_records? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for sb_insert_records. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Supabase MCP server.

What risk level is sb_insert_records? +

sb_insert_records is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit sb_insert_records? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the sb_insert_records rule in your Intercept 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 sb_insert_records completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for sb_insert_records. 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 sb_insert_records? +

sb_insert_records is provided by the Supabase MCP server (@supabase-community/supabase-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
