How to control db.get_findings ↓

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

Low Risk

This tool retrieves stored vulnerability findings from the database. While the empty description reduces certainty slightly, the naming convention (get_*) and context of a bug bounty platform storing findings in PostgreSQL strongly indicate this is a query/retrieval operation with no destructive, financial, or execution capabilities.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'db.get_findings' follows standard Read operation pattern (get_*). Description is empty but sibling tools show this server manages vulnerability findings in PostgreSQL storage. The 'get' prefix indicates data retrieval without side effects.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access db.get_findings gives an agent:

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

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

db.get_findings 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 VulneraMCP — 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 db.get_findings tool do? +

db.get_findings. It is categorised as a Read tool in the VulneraMCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on db.get_findings? +

Register the Vulnera MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for db.get_findings: 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 VulneraMCP. Nothing to install.

What risk level is db.get_findings? +

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

Can I rate-limit db.get_findings? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the db.get_findings 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 db.get_findings completely? +

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

db.get_findings is provided by the Vulnera MCP server (telmon95/vulneramcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every VulneraMCP tool call.
