AI agents call list_delayed_request to retrieve information from Teradata Workload Management (WLM) MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries the state of the workload management system to retrieve observability data about delayed requests. It has no side effects and does not modify, execute, or destroy any resources. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only see information that administrators would already have access to.
From the tool's definition Tool 'list_delayed_request' retrieves and displays information about queued queries: 'List all queries currently waiting in delay queues' and 'Returns session IDs, delay reasons, wait times, and queue types.' No modifications, deletions, or command execution…
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access list_delayed_request gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Teradata Workload Management (WLM) MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for list_delayed_request:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"list_delayed_request": {}
}
} list_delayed_request is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

List all queries currently waiting in delay queues. Queries are delayed when they hit throttle limits, wait for locks, or are held by workload management rules. Use this to see why queries are waiting, identify queue backlogs, or check if specific users/queries are delayed. Returns session IDs, delay reasons, wait times, and queue types. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Teradata Workload Management (WLM) MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Teradata Workload Management (WLM) MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_delayed_request: 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 Teradata Workload Management (WLM) MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_delayed_request 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 list_delayed_request 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 list_delayed_request. 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.
list_delayed_request is provided by the Teradata Workload Management (WLM) MCP Server MCP server (teradata-labs/mcp-server-teradata-wlm). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Teradata Workload Management (WLM) MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
