Get a specific database by ID
AI agents call get_database to retrieve information from Rockfish MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a simple read operation that queries and returns information about a specific database resource identified by its ID. There is no creation, modification, deletion, or execution of arbitrary operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could only gain unauthorized access to database metadata or configurations, which is a confidentiality rather than integrity or availability concern.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_database' and description 'Get a specific database by ID' indicate retrieval of data without modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get a specific database by ID. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Rockfish MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Rockfish MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_database: 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 Rockfish MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_database 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 get_database 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 get_database. 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.
get_database is provided by the Rockfish MCP Server MCP server (wolfdancer/rockfish-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
