List stored procedures, functions, and packages in a schema.
AI agents call list_procedures to retrieve information from Oracle DB MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and displays stored procedure metadata from the database schema without creating, modifying, or deleting any data. It is a read-only operation with minimal risk. Even in the context of a database management server with dangerous operations like execute_dml and execute_procedure available, this specific tool only enumerates existing procedures without side effects.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_procedures' and description 'List stored procedures, functions, and packages in a schema' indicate data retrieval with no modification capability. The action is a query operation returning schema metadata.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List stored procedures, functions, and packages in a schema. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Oracle DB MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Oracle DB MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_procedures: 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 Oracle DB MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_procedures 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_procedures 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_procedures. 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_procedures is provided by the Oracle DB MCP Server MCP server (titan213/oracle-db-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
