Lists available data tables (or collections) managed by Hasura, organized by schema with descriptions
AI agents call list_tables to retrieve information from Advanced Hasura GraphQL 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 metadata about table structures and organization without querying, modifying, deleting, or executing any data operations. It is purely informational discovery, analogous to SHOW TABLES or schema inspection queries. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could learn the schema structure but cannot act on data without other tools.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_tables' and description 'Lists available data tables (or collections) managed by Hasura, organized by schema with descriptions' indicate schema discovery/introspection with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Lists available data tables (or collections) managed by Hasura, organized by schema with descriptions. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Advanced Hasura GraphQL MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Advanced Hasura GraphQL MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_tables: 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 Advanced Hasura GraphQL MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_tables 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_tables 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_tables. 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_tables is provided by the Advanced Hasura GraphQL MCP Server MCP server (vikasversetest-debug/hasura_mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
