WHAT IT DOES

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

AI agents call show_sql_text_for_session 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 show_sql_text_for_session needs a policy

This tool retrieves SQL statement text from a session without altering, executing, or deleting anything. It is a read-only operation that queries existing session data. Severity is medium rather than low because exposing SQL text could reveal sensitive information (credentials in queries, proprietary logic, personal data), and unauthorized access could support malicious reconnaissance.

From the tool's definition Tool name and description: 'Display the full SQL text being executed by a specific session' - this retrieves and queries data without modification.

POLICY

How to control show_sql_text_for_session

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 show_sql_text_for_session:

policy.json

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

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