WHAT IT DOES

What list_utility_stats does on Teradata Workload Management (WLM) MCP Server

AI agents call list_utility_stats 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.

THE RISK

Low Risk

Why list_utility_stats needs a policy

This tool retrieves and queries monitoring data about utility operations without any side effects. It provides observability into system performance but cannot modify configurations, execute commands, or affect workload management policies. Classification as Read is appropriate for a monitoring/statistics display function.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Display statistics' and 'monitor utility performance' with no capability to modify, delete, or execute operations. Returns read-only data: 'utility names, resource consumption, runtime, and status.'

POLICY

How to control list_utility_stats

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_utility_stats:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_utility_stats": {}
  }
}

list_utility_stats is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

Questions about list_utility_stats

What does the list_utility_stats tool do? +

Display statistics for utility operations (FastLoad, MultiLoad, TPump, etc.) running on the system. Use this to monitor utility performance, check if utilities are consuming excessive resources, or track utility usage patterns. Returns utility names, resource consumption, runtime, and status. 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.

How do I enforce a policy on list_utility_stats? +

Register the Teradata Workload Management (WLM) MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_utility_stats: 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.

What risk level is list_utility_stats? +

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

Can I rate-limit list_utility_stats? +

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

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

list_utility_stats 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.
